The Bills can’t negotiate a long term deal.  As a franchise tagged player after July 15th he has to play on he franchise tag.  No teams can negotiate until after the last game of the season.

 

He also has not signed his tender - so currently he can not be traded and rumor has it he has already blocked a trade to Miami.

 

We will see where this goes.

I have no idea why this dude is taking such a hard stance on this and he hasnt even looked into what hes talking about. If you come that hard, youd think youd at least get a clue before doing so. Weird. Thank you for pointing this out bc i dont think anyone else has the energy anymore. Not sure how he missed it one of the other 99,999 times its been pointed out..

I’m stunned that no reporter asked anyone WHY they had Ty not take any snaps today.  Could have ended a lot of speculation.  Unreal no one asked.

  Not sure what the protocol is between reporters and teams and practices but they may have inquired and have yet to get a reply.

When it comes to player evaluation I really trust Gunner

 

Gunner...you think we would be ok if its Ty N.?   That would be Ford at RT and maybe a OG that wasnt going to make the team possibly makes it?

 

he's the one who suggested it :lol:

To be fair, pretty sure the Nsekhe rumors were all internally generated (without naming names ?). Don't think anyone has speculated/rumored anything linking his name outside of TBD to a potential trade, but I just want to know why he was sitting in pads all day...forget the Clowney rumors.

I am not as big a Ty guy as others. So for me, yep. I'll suffer a slight downgrade at right tackle for a big upgrade at D End. 

 

We would need to try and find a rotational tackle though. With Waddle done for the year.

Just playing devils advocate. Lol

 

I like Clowney but i don't love him. I've seen plenty of Houston games. He benefits far more from Watt than vice versa. 

 

Depending on the cost though im all for it

His most productive season was the one where Watt missed the whole season! He had 21 tackles for loss and led the league in tackles for loss/no gain to go with 9.5 sacks (2017).

 

I just don't get some of the rhetoric here. People look at sack lines and nothing else.

Before that you started talking about “Lorax” (your nickname use I don’t call him that) when I was only saying Nsekhe is good value for clowney by pointing out his age and relative obscurity. 

 

You don't realize it is changing the subject but it is because your example of “Lorax” doesn’t change the main point that clowney will be here if and when they win a Super Bowl while Nsekhe and “Lorax” will be retired. 

It would probably be Ty AND a draft pick not just Ty

 

Im on the fence on this one......

Really?!? A 34 year old swing tackle and a draft pick for Clowney? This is a no brainer IMO. Clowney is in the backfield on every play and fits PERFECTLY into our defense. That defense will go from very good to the best in football (and potentially historically good). If the offense is decent (not even good) that team wins 10 games. They are a better version of last year’s Bears with a higher ceiling. They could legitimately contend for a Super Bowl.

I could be wrong but I think the only coach available to the media after practice was Frazier, and he wouldn’t be the one to ask

He likely would agree to sign the tag so 1 year there then could tag a 2nd or the agent kind of confirms a future deal (dollar amount and years) 

 

im okay with a 2 year rental if he doesn’t want to sign long term but worst case scenario we tag and trade next year

It probably puts us in the conversation for a top 5 defense

 

I honestly wanted Ford at RT not at RG anyway.....we brought in 2 vets plus Teller that can play the RG position.

 

Swing OT is a problem

I don't care what local reporters say. No one on the Bills beat knew that we had even inquired about AB.

 

I will say that no one should be surprised if Beane makes this happen. We were in on Mack last year and obviously on AB this year. He isn't afraid to make a big move for a premium player if the price is right. I would actually be more surprised if he HADN'T asked the Texans about Clowney. How far those discussions actually got, no clue, but there's a lot of smoke here.

You tag him if you have to. You also hired the former Texans GM that tried to negotiate his extension. He knows EXACTLY what it will take to keep him. If Clowney agrees to a trade to the Bills it is fairly certain that there is a wink-wink agreement in place for after the season. Dare to be great. If he leaves in FA, you’ll get a 3rd round comp pick back.

Waddle injury becomes much more impactful if we trade Nsekhe.

 

I’d still make the trade if it’s Nsekhe and a 2nd

How does he feel about chicken wings? Snowflakes? 

 

I wonder how much quiet, behind the scenes negotiations take place in a situation like that? Not that WE would ever do anything untoward. We are NOT the Patriots*!

He is good friends with Stephon Gilmore. -2 for Bills. He might want to play in front of his people.

Anyone got any good recipes? 

 

I just made a pretty simple yet tasty chuck steak dish...

 

Cube up a large chuck steak (1lb or so) and season heavily.

 

Heat olive oil in a skillet over med high and drop in the beef. Toss and turn the beef until seared, and then turn off the heat.

 

Drop a few tablespoons of butter, a few chopped cloves of garlic, and some fresh rosemary into the still hot pan. Baste the steak bites with the garlic-rosemary-butter continuously for about a minute.

 

Remove from the pan, rest, and serve with whatever starch you have on hand (I made mashed potatoes because that's what was in my pantry).

This actually sounds awesome, i am going to make this in the fall during deer season. Sub chuck steak for cubed venison and serve over lemon butter steamed white rice with browned onions and peppers

The fresh rosemary makes that whole dish imo. One of my favorite ingredients

Never rely on a handshake agreement.

 

I can imagine what Rams' fans feel about the Watkins 1yr rental.

Good plan. The butter and oil coating will go really well on the venison!

10-12 tomatillos.  Husk them.  Put in a bowl with two jalapeños.  Coat with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Transfer to a sheet pan and broil for 5-10 minutes until they blister and char (cook time depends on your broiler strength/distance/etc. - gotta watch carefully).  Cut stems off jalapeños and transfer everything to a blender.  Add three cloves of garlic, squeeze in a lime, and a bunch of cilantro.  Blend until smooth.  Season to taste.

 

Now you’ve got your green salsa.  Put it on Bandit’s steak I don’t care.  Put it on eggs.  Simmer some half-stale tortilla chips in it for chilaquiles.  Or just use it as a dip.  Bingo bango bongo.

I love green salsa. I usually use Serrano peppers though.

 

I also add a TON of garlic.
