Never really checked out the albums, but some of the shows I got from Dime are fire!

Check out the 1st one... you won't be disappointed. I'll put it in the music thread so it'll be an easy click.

Doesn’t mean he will stop donating.   Just like he does back in Nebraska 

It’s all a show for him. Great video clips making paper airplanes with inner city kids from Riverside, but when the rubber meets the road, it’s all about dollars for him. Just like countless others.

This is tough for me, considering his injuries.  But he was an anchor down the stretch for us and played 60% of the snaps on the D-Line, which is a lot for a McD defense.  It's tough to bank a lot of money on him, but I don't think 6 mil per was a lot.  Especially if it had the appropriate "out" clauses.

Guess he likes the cold. He found the one place colder than Buffalo.

I agree. I think he got paid what he was worth. I kinda wanted him back, but I'm liking the DT's we are reported to be signing. We'll be okay.

With Star coming back, Ed and Star are the starters with these guys a rotation.  Considering our Cap, it makes sense if these two are paid together what Harry got.  It's a business.

 

What's frustrating is that we will be back here again next year.  Star will be gone and Ed could be gone.  I'm tired of the time and picks on the D-Line.  I wish we could just get out people and hold it for a minute

Once again, will be interesting to see the details of that contract.

What hurt Phillips staying in Buffalo was Star sitting out a year.  If Star hadn't sat, could easily dump him this year for next to nothing and then sign Phillips to replace him.  But once Star sat out, it backed his contract up a year to the point, too expensive to cut him, but not worth the money he's being paid and then couldn't afford another big $$ contract for the same position.

Are you a part of any of those organizations?  Curious to know if you have first hand accounts of that’s the case.  
 

his social media and those that tag him tell a much different story. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt if you are involved

Tough to see Phillips go. But too much $$$ to retain him (But only because of the Cap issues) . Bills defensive line now has some serious holes. The bottom line is that Phillips - Hughes - Addison - Wallace, were all significant contributors to the Bills #1 Defense in 2021, and will soon ALL be gone.  Unfortunately, Rousseau - Basham - Epenesa (And maybe Settle?)are expected to replace these players and have proven zilch. Even if the Bills sign a stud like (Chandler Jones?) that still will not fill the holes of those who left. Bills have much work to do if they are to maintain a solid SB caliber defense.

Seemed well liked by coaches/players, and involved in alot of great community events.

 

But on field play, average player.  He had some better moments in the 2nd half of season, perhaps Minny taking a flier on him continuing to develop/stay healthy.  Be curious what the contract details are, as 3 yrs 19.5m could be much different in reality.

 

I think our staff prioritized physicality, on both lines, as our first few FA signings have much more of that trait than the players being replaced.  Good luck to Harry, but glad we are going in a different direction.

Based on what actual evidence?

Dude hitched his wagon to Kyle Williams early on. Good optics, Kyle was a fan favorite.

Harry never lived up to it.

 

Happy for Harry. Good guy overall, great pay day for him.

 

Over-sign for Minny. Not worth it IMO.

"Hitched his wagon"?  As if he was the one who manufactured that narrative when drafted?  You give an awful lot of credit to him for drumming that line up.  

 

That bitterness is quick to materialize with some folks here.  Guy got a life changing payday.  Something he can, I don't know, maybe continue to use to pay it back to whatever community he is in?  Should we resent him for doing great thing in Minnesota next year?

This one hurts, I was a big fan. Availability hurt him a lot, so did that bag of useless Star opting out for a year. Still, I'd prefer having a true 1 tech in DaQuan Jones and the upside of settle to Philips/Butler, it's a wash at the least a decent upgrade at best.
