It's not about "helping" anyone. There are very clearly defined rules to this, no real surprises why a team does or doesn't get comp picks. It's not like they just randomly assign these to teams. I'm simply of the opinion there should not be any comp picks. There was a time they helped balance things now they are simply unnecessary and teams game the system.

I knew that already from the first time they talked about it.

Teams often times try to force players into their system that are not good scheme fits thinking they can teach them or the player can adjust to what they want them to do. Sometimes it works other times it doesn't. How he played in a different scheme doesn't mean much as we don't know what they asked him to do. It only matters how he fits and plays in our scheme, not anyone else's. We will find that out soon enough.

I think we should look at B'Shawn and C'Shawn before making a decision.

Over

That's because nobody bothers creating viruses for Mac's since the overwhelming majority of computers are PC based. There is nothing inherent about Mac's that protect them other than lack of interest from people who create viruses. In the grand scheme of things Mac's are irrelevant.

The cap exists so what's the point of having a wish list not taking it into account?

Not if they get Arizona to keep some of the money. Obviously that would increase the cost to the Bills.

Someone has a lot of money to burn

1000 yard seasons were the measuring stick when they played 14 games...then it went to 16 and it stayed the same, now 17 where it's almost meaningless.

You have no idea that's true. It's all speculation. This doesn't mean we are moving backwards, we could very well be better than last year in the playoffs, the only place it matters anymore.

I don't even understand why this is a thing anymore. There is no reason to hand out comp picks for losing FAs. It would be one thing if it were like MLB with the haves and have nots due to no salary cap, but the NFL basically covers all player salaries with TV contract money so it's up to the individual teams to decide whether they want to keep a player or not. Choosing not to keep a player shouldn't have anything to do with trying to get a comp pick. Since all teams are on more or less equal footing(minus signing bonus money), it would all balance out eventually. It's outlived whatever purpose it served at one point.

It also helped the 3 teams in their division over that time frame were mostly inept with no QBs

McD is the DC.

Steph and Reggie Miller for me...and of course "Big Shot Bob" Horry in the playoffs who was unconsciously clutch with big threes late in games.

Jake from State Fromm

Saints medical staff may have saved his life.

Their QB took way less money than he could have gotten allowing them to keep other pieces. Belichick was a master at letting guys go a year too early rather than a year too late. Aging vets got replaced right around the time they fell off a cliff most times. Tom Brady covered up for a ton of missteps in the draft.

Damn what a steal...one year $1.7 million. Beane is a wizard.

Maybe the Bills should have since he put up 3 100 yard games against them in the 4 times he played and scored 5 YDs

4 games played against the Bills...3 games over 100 yards and 5 TDs. That's pretty good. Averages 6.4 YPC against us.

Nice! He always seemed to play well against us...

Good riddance

Players have no say whether their contract gets restructured or not most times. Teams include clauses when they sign that allow them to do it at the teams discretion. There is only a win for them when a players contract gets restructured, they get more money up front.
