A whole season's worth of scouting is out the window. Good thing Trevor Lawrence is easy to spell?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I read was "May I mommy dog face to the banana patch." Damn, I'm old. You're required to tell that story here once every 20 years you know....

This isn't the first time he's kind of hinted in that direction -- in this case, he's okay with what Adams did and supports Adams putting himself first and "getting his." He's also already thinking about state taxes. I don't think it'll be trouble -- but it will have a LOT of zeroes involved! This front office knows what they're ***** and what Tre is worth to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Gase is gone I’d bet he will get the Jets headed in the right direction. Doubtful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Digg? Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) This is a trade that should show Bills fans that the Bills have more than enough money to sign their guys-maybe not all of them, but they will be able to sign the guys they really want to keep. Seattle is paying Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, etc and will have to pay Adams very soon-and we are worried about if the Bills will be able to sign Milano and Dawkins! Yes Tre is going to cost a lot of money, but if you look at what the other teams around the league do, his contract won’t be a problem Edited July 26, 2020 by Ya Digg?

apuszczalowski Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Two first seems steep, except that Seattle is usually a pretty good playoff team whos picks will be in the mid to late 20s in those years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 53 minutes ago, FireChans said: I think it’s the exact opposite. The first round prospects are mostly known by sophomore year. It’s the later round prospects from smaller schools without a ton of tape that will be lotto tickets. Every year there are projected 1st round prospects that drop and later round prospects that rise. I don't think I'm being controversial when I say that a whole season of scouting being thrown out devalues the picks in that draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Doug Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 3 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: Naw, he’s going to be the highest paid CB in the league by a significant margin. He will be okay once that happens. He’s definitely going to be the highest paid CB in the league, but whether he signs this contract with the Bills is questionable. The only way out of this situation is to start negotiating the year we are legally able to. If he ends his final season without an extension, he’s gone. And he’ll still be the highest paid CB in the league. And maybe in a state with no income tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it’s been the pandemic or his reaction to police brutality, but it just seems like something has changed in him this offseason. Or, maybe we really never knew him.

Doc Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 22 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Lol yes. The Jets and Dolphins had at least some success from 2000-2017. The Bills were consistently mediocre to awful. Big deal. "Some success" means a couple good seasons here and there but nothing consistent/sustained. But good job as usual, Scott. I thought you were slipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebron chose to go to LA, Durant chose to go to the Warriors and then the Nets and Kyrie Irving chose to go to the Nets even those those states have the highest state taxes. It's primary getting the biggest number as an ego trip. You can`t get less than Kirk Cousins if you think you`re better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
