KOKBILLS

I'm sure you meant RT... But anyway, I'm guessing Bulaga is going to get some serious interest out there...GB had Cobb as their #1 priority, now they'll turn to Bulaga...

Keeping that D-Line together is a very good thing... Well done...

Would hate to see Freddie go... At the same time I'd be lying if I said I had not known this day was coming sooner rather than later... Wish he could play one more year in Buffalo though...It would be nice to see him get a proper sendoff...One of my all-time favorites...And a hell of a good player...

I get the idea... Don't get me wrong... Still don't agree with over-paying at OG... Just don't agree with it... But it's not exactly up to me either... And I'm not crazy about Iupati anyway... Yes he's an exceptional run blocker but that's not all he'll be asked to do... Teams are going to be stacking the box and daring the Bills to throw it... If you're going to spend crazy at OG at least pick a Guard that excells in all areas of blocking... JMO of course... I'll fully admit Iupati is a ton better than what the Bills sent out there last season... And that's an understatement...

Nice...

Not really in favor of bringing in a high salary at OG...Never have been... Just can't see the logic in it so I'm hoping the Bills don't go this route...

I imagine they may try to hit him with something like a 6 week...But I doubt a suspension that long is going to stick after appeal...

You may be right...But I would imagine at the very least there will be a lot of incentives tied into a contract of that size for Hardy...Just can't get away from the risk assuming the story of that off-field incident are anywhere close to being true...

I guess it depends on how much the Bills had budgeted for Hughes and whether or not Hardy can get more than that on the open market...Which he more than likely can... But who knows...Maybe Hardy views the Bills as a great opportunity

On the field Hardy might actually be an upgrade to Hughes...And that's no knock on Hughes either...Hardy is a beast...All depends on the market for him with the off-field stuff...But goodness our D-line with Hardy, Mario, Kyle, and Dareus... Talk about best D-line in the league...

Buh bye...

If Hardy and Dareus both get suspended at the beginning of the year that would take a chunk out of the D-Line early on...Not that it's a huge deterrent... I live in NC but I really have no idea what to think of Hardy's off-the-field stuff...Based only on what the girl said about the incident it sounds real bad... I do however know that if there is an actual upgrade available to Hughes this off-season...it's Hardy...And the thought of a hungry Hardy on this D-Line?...Goodness... If it does turn out that Hughes breaks the bank somewhere else...and Hardy can be had for considerably less...I can't see how The Bills don't consider it ...Hardy, Mario, Dareus, Kyle...That's a lot of talent...

Yep...

As well they should...

Well... Philly can certainly afford to pay him more...But will anyone? TBH I did not think he was worth more than about $3.5-$4 mil per year...

Exactly...

Agreed...Kinda doubt that one...

Exactly...

I'm seriously shocked that any NFL football fan is not aware of how special Shady is... This is not just any RB... And he is only 26...He's special...Special players tend to do special things... Now I'm not saying Shady is Thurman-good...I would never say that...But I'm just saying...From age 27-30 (4 seasons) Thurman had 4446 yds rushing, 1210 yds receiving and 31 TD's combined... Thurman's first 6 years - 7631 yards...1731 attempts...3053 receiving yards on 295 catches...57 combined TD's... Shady's first 6 seasons - 6792 yards...1461 attempts...2282 receiving yards on 300 catches...54 TD's combined... Thurman had a season worth of carries more than McCoy had in their first 6 seasons...They both contributed big time in the passing game as well...And even at that pace Thurman still did pretty well in his next 4 years... I don't see any reason why Shady can't do about the same...And that's SO much better than what the Bills have currently...It's just night and day... So anyway...I clearly think this was worth the gamble based on the fact that Shady has been an elite RB in this league over the past 5 years...Even if it turns out he is on the decline it was worth the gamble...Because if Shady returns to 2013 form this Offense just took a quantum leap forward...

Well...No question RB is no longer an option early...

I'm an admitted Kiko fanboi...But I also admit I'm probably a bigger fan of the Legend stuff than I was the actual player...And I love the kid...But that was a blast... I basically agree with your assessment on Kiko, and like I said in a previous post...2 major knee injuries in 5 years...Unquestionably Kiko is talented, and he may very well go on to have a fantastic career...But I see this trade as the classic "You have to give up something good to get something good.." And make no mistake folks...Like it, or don't like it, there is no way in hell Rex Ryan OK's this trade if he felt Kiko would turn into the next Luke Keuchly...There's just no way...Rex loves Defense and there's no way he ever feels he has enough good players at any position...I'm guessing Rex, like most anyone, likes Kiko...But I doubt he feels he's a potential super-star ILB based on this trade...And furthermore Kiko would seemingly be a nice fit as a 3-4 ILB...I just don't see this trade going down without Rex giving it a BIG thumbs up...It's too early in Rex's stay for Whaley to go out there and do anything like this without the new HC signing off on it... So anyway...Kiko's legend is certainly greater than his accomplishments so-far in his career...And if Bills fans hate this and are looking for someone to blame I'm guessing that guy is as much Rex Ryan as anybody...

Agreed... Love Kiko... But he's not in LK's zip code... Though to be honest are, if any, are...

Yep...

We traded an every down player who played zero downs in 2014 and has had 2 major knee injuries in 5 years....

No offense... But this post has very little to do with reality... McCoy in decline? No... Not yet anyway... He's still one of the top 5 RB's in the NFL... He's a great receiver out of the back field... And he has vision and insticts Spiller can only dream of.... I honestly can't see how anyone would have a problem with this deal... And I fully admit Shady pretty much single-handedly won my Fantasy league for me in 2013... So I'm a bit biased... But only a bit... I only want what is best for the Bills... And I think this is very very good...
