What's the best twitter account for unsubstantiated rumors? I need to ride this high...

 

Incarcerated Bob throws a lot of poo at the wall. He is usually good for a bunch of those. Not sure if any are Bills related atm though.

According to @mortreport, the #Raiders will probably not sign former #Steelers RB @LeVeonBell because they don't have enough real cash [not a salary cap issue]

Morons! Mark Davis is in so far over his head. When your only asset is a currently homeless NFL team, and that is the thing you were trying to prop up, I can only imagine that creates an issue

Why do they do the tampering period again? Who benefits from this? Why not make FA sooner? 

Because this way they can say they have a period of time before FA where they can talk before signing, move FA ahead and it wont do anything except move the date ahead, which is always the start of the 'NFL business year'

 

The idea behind this time is to allow players to test the market before FA begins.

I guess it just doesn't make sense to me when looking at the grand scheme of it... It just seems like a arbitrary distinction. 

 

I suppose it could be to prevent the appearance of tampering when players sign massive contracts at 4:01 on the first day of the new league year...

Call me crazy, but I think ODB would be ok here.

 

He will have a QB that can get him the ball 60 yards down field.

 

But, this won't happen anyways.

I think the cost would be astronomical considering his age and production. I do think he would come here though. I would also bet money the Bills have at least called the Giants about him.

Am I allowed to hate him if he comes here? Cause short of the frosted tips getting gone, I hate him.

The cost would be the 9th overall, nothing more, nothing less.

 

Would you wanna give up the 9th overall for Beckham?

You will love him if he comes here.

 

?

 

I will love his production (if there is any) if he comes here. I will still hate the player. I am passionate enough in my hatred of some people that playing for the Bills does not erase it. I am content in my duplicity in rooting for them while also hating them. My evidence of such is the Rex Ryan era.

I can respect this opinion.

I don’t feel like Desean Jackson and Odell Beckham are on the same stratosphere when it comes to skill level. 

Beckham is obviously better but DeSean was still a top 20-30 WR last year and you're probably talking about trading a 6th for DeSean and a 7th or something versus a 1st and 3rd and maybe more for Beckham.

When teams sign players, they have to put all the guaranteed money into escrow. In other words, Mark Davis doesn't have the liquid cash do to that. Insane.

 

May be a good idea to stop signing players to 20 million dollar contracts then.  Just a thought.  I dislike the Raiders more everyday.
