Yeah, I don't think it's a given that no team will pick up TT's contract. However, the trade market for him is probably weak because of the perception that the Bills will likely dump him. The market for TT is a great unknown.A starting QB for 15MM/yr? Don't be so sure.

Expanding on what i said earlier. I want cardale to succeed. My main concern is that we've been consistently told hes a project. So to go from project going into week 17 one season to starting QB the following season seems like a stretch.
Before Romo went down, was anyone in the Cowboys' front office saying that Prescott was ready to start? If so, I missed it. No one has any real idea how Cardale would do if he were given a chance to play. I'm sure Cardale would struggle at times, but so what? With his tools, if he was a totally polished product, he would not have been available at the very end of round 4. The fact that you are ready to base your opinion about Cardale on how he did in one quarter of garbage time in a game that the Bills were actively trying to lose is just beyond silly.

I think the Raiders did just that when Carr was hurt this year: McGloin finished the game but they rolled out Connor Cook after a week or two,Not really, teams do that all of the time. It's not uncommon that the vet finishes the game and the young guy plays for weeks. The Texans kind of did it with Tom Savage (although he entered during a game).
You don't put the rookie in to finish a game. You give him a week to prepare. If he isn't ready you start the vet and try again the next week. This isn't uncommon at all in the NFL. The staff knew EJ sucked. He wasn't going to be the answer in an extended absence of TT. They would have rolled Cardale out and let him sink or swim.

Cowboys
That would be my pick. They have all the pieces in place. May need a new HC, though.
-
But wait, there's more! That linebacker they spent 3 picks on was suited for Rex's inside 3-4 scheme. Now he will be asked to play mike in a scheme where linebackers are expected to have good range. So even those picks on LB's could have to be done over.
But wait, there's even more: There is every chance that the guy they gave away two fourth round picks for probably would have been available anyway at the Bills' original 2d round slot.
-
From what I have read from a variety of sources the Bills were eyeing Prescott last year. As usual they waited too long and instead took a known immature lineman from Ohio State with their third round selection, the spot they would have needed to take Prescott.
Not true. If Whaley had not given away the Bills' 4th round pick (something he apparently LOVES to do) to move up for Ragland, that pick could have been used on Prescott.
-
The refs are unbelievably fired up for this second half. They've made their halftime adjustments and there is no way they will let the Falcons embarrass them like they did the first half.
-
Zeke is great, but his impact pales in comparison to a good QB. That's just the way it is.Should have been Zeke.
-
What hype are talking about? And he did actually win a few games in college, as you may recall...I think its sad that a project QB who will never amount to anything gets all this hype
Please tell us how you already know he "won't amount to anything." Was it the 4 quarters of preseason football, playing with the Bills' third stringers, or was it the one quarter of mop up duty in a game that the Bills had all but announced to the world they were trying to lose?
-
Antonio Brown? Odell Beckham?Whaley's copying of the Julio trade up did not make any sense. Not because Watkins is not a great player when healthy. Watkins is great but does not have the size to ascend to the game changing physical force level of a Julio or Calvin Johnson. Only a great receiver who can also be a physically dominant force is worth that kind of value.

My post from other thread on this:
I watched a good amount of ND games and Kizer did absolutely nothing in those games which made me come away thinking he would be a top NFL QB. Same with Miami and Kayaa. These guys may have the "tools" and "biggest upside" but to me, if you can't pass the initial visual test of watching them play then you should not even be in consideration for a first round pick. I will say this though in the ND games, I often found myself saying "why do they keep running the ball all game when it is going no where." Not sure why Kelly didn't open it up more for Kizer is it Kelly's fault or did he just not trust him? Finally, a huge red flag to me is any college QB with a completion % below 60 in their final year. Even more so if they showed regression which Kizer did. If you can't hit 60% in college how are you going to be effective in the NFL?
I'm really glad you are not making the selection on draft day.
The question the Bills should be asking themselves with each of these QBs in the draft is "Is he more ready than Cardale Jones?" and "Does he have as much upside as Cardale?" If the answer to either of these questions is "no", then what's the point? I'm not opposed to drafting another QB this year, but we need to find out if the guy we already have can play, and drafting another QB will reduce Cardale's opportunities. There is no sense drafting a QB every year if you're not going to give him a chance to develop and play and find out what you already have.

Please, no. How many top TEs in the league right now were taken in round 1, much less the top third of round 1? I count zero. This is clearly a position where you can get great production in the lower rounds or even in UDFAs.
-
It would be interesting to know the point differential over the course of a season between having Dan Carpenter as your kicker vs Dan Bailey. I'm guessing it would be a shockingly large number--and not just from all the missed FGs and extra points.
-
Is it just me, or does every playoff team have a really good kicker? Hmmm.
-
Bell running it down their throats. Then the Steelers go pass, pass after reaching 2 yard line. I don't get it.
-
Yeah, I don't think he gets to make that decision. He's looking to the sideline for a signal.I'm sure he was instructed to do so by the coaches.
-
Jason Garrett is no rookie HCRookie mistake. He'll learn.
-
spiking the ball for no reason on last possession. Did you watch the game?What??? Please elaborate!
-
Very poor situational awareness by Dallas on the last drive. Absolutely no need to spike it on first down at the Pack 40. Left too much time on the clock and wasted a down.
-
I just watched the presser. Who knows what 2017 season will bring but it was refreshing to hear a guy thats sincere, talks calmly, and seems actively involved and has a plan. Instead of the previous coach that just loudly said we're going to the playoffs! Don't get me wrong I was gungho too after Rex's presser but the difference this time is Sean seems like he's going to work and not out looking to be a great guy. It also seemed he and Doug get along fine, haven't seen that in 2 years.
...We can only go up from here guys.
Agreed. I like everything about how he handled this presser and the message he is conveying. Exactly the right approach, IMO.

Or Matthew StanfordAsk Alex Smith.

Well, it is a red flag...I dont know how to recopy tweets, but this one was funny
I don't like the Bills new coach because he's the Bills new coach. My column coming up on @TBNSports:
-
My clearest recollection of McCoy as a head coach is his endless and unconditional love of punting.I hope I dont have to hear he went to the playoffs and won with Tebow. They won their division at 8-8 and had a home wild card game. That is not going to happen here.
That said, McCoy is very respected around the NFL and is the #1 OC candidate.

Yeah, what a dump.😆LA is not exactly a great town.
Bills have 2 days to trade TT/No cap hit
