No, I did not think Stafford was worth that deal but I get why the Lions had to pay him. I'm not sure how good that team is around Stafford. I'm not sure how much he's elevating the players around him but that also could be a 3 win team without him. 9 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: So if I'm reading this and your previous post right, you'd be OK with Taylor at $18M/year but not Cousins at $25M/year? We just disagree, then. I don't want Taylor at any price and no I don't want Cousins at 25m. I'm hoping to see Peterman a few full games this year and I'd rather draft someone.

MAJBobby Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 My issue is saying the only QB the Bills think is a 1st round talent is Darnold. That is 100% not true. They have not consolidated grades yet and racked the board yet. Heck the evaluations of the College QBs are not even done yet. That is why i used the term like they Like Darnold, Rosen, Rudolph and Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennison is let go, he’s right... So ya, I’m sure he may be “right” about a few things. Not trying to single you out specifically but to this point and to all others' points who are being needlessly hostile toward a guy who is sharing interesting stuff because it can't be confirmed: None of this can possibly be known 100% at this point, except the stadium location which he is still keeping under wraps. Teams have to have multiple contingency plans for multiple positions always. It's not like he is just saying "we will or won't go for Cousins." He is is saying "the Bills WILL go for Cousins unless he is franchised tagged again." Doesn't mean we will 100% get him, but we will try. If we don't get him, we need another plan. Lots of things are still up in the air and none of it is absolutely crazy. Why can't we have some fun discussing these possibilities and give the guy benefit of the doubt for now? How is that not more fun than just waiting for the offseason news to break? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can move on from him in a year with a relatively minimal cap hit of $8.64 million or let him play out the last year of his contract and let him become a free agent. His earlier contract ran through 2021." Well I guess it's not technically an option. It's just that we can cut him without a huge Cap hit in the first 4 or 5 days of the new league year. My misunderstanding. I guess Taylor's even more likely to still be a Buffalo Bill next year than I thought. Still misunderstanding, if we cut or trade Taylor his amortized bonus will accelerate and we'll be on the hook for $8.64M (trade or cut/signed elsewhere) or $9.64M (cut and not signed elsewhere). But if we trade him in the first 4 days (or what have you) of the New League Year we don't pay his $6M roster bonus (which is a separate deal from the $8.64 cap hit from the amortized bonus). That's why I don't see Taylor being traded for a late draft pick, myself. If he's cut and signed, the new team can negotiate freely. If he's traded for, the new team is on the hook for $16M ($7M bonus and guaranteed salary, $9M additional salary) 11 minutes ago, HappyDays said: He is saying Bud Carpenter's wife is from Dunkirk, not Cousin's wife.

He said Peterman's concussion was a lot worse than they thought but yet he is throwing today at practice. Not cleared yet but if he was having headaches, etc... he wouldn't be out there. Because so many people take the time to offer lists of what sounds like the opinions of some inside and organization, just so they can be attacked by people like you. Anyone who knows anything about concussions knows that they are one of the most difficult things to diagnose, and that recovery times are some of the most difficult things to predict. You have zero evidence by which to make such a statement, and I could care less about your armchair opinions. Your the one looking for attention, so if you don't have anything constructive to offer to the conversation, share your medical opinions with someone else.

The problem the Bills find themselves in is a lack of young depth and strength on both sides of the ball, up the middle of the field. IMHO it makes zero sense to bring in a veteran QB for a couple of years with so few 'weapons' to surround him with.

At some point this team is going to have start fresh....like the Cowboys did with Aikman, Irvin and Smith, etc....or even the Rams, by first building an Offensive and Defensive Line...or any one of a number of other examples.
