Thank god we didn't do that.

 

Bryce Young is way more talented than Sam Howell. 

It wouldn't be a question of Howell vs. Young.

It's be a question of Howell + the trade package we spent to get up to #1 vs. Young. Young better be orders of magnitude better.

If Howell is on the roster we probably don't trade up for a QB. We likley take Kincaid at #9.

 

Mediocrity continues...

Sorry, but this just makes no sense.

We took a QB about 50 picks earlier than Howell in that draft and it didn't stop us from making a move for the #1 pick.  Sure, Howell didn't get hurt like Corral did, but he only played in 1 game and threw less than 20 passes, it's not like he showed some crazy potential that would have made us wanting to go into the season with him as our starter this year.

Lewan has had a bunch of injuries lately but could be very solid tackle depth if he'd come cheap. Also, our old buddy McD is apparently very concerned about Diggs skipping mandatory minicamp, wonder if he winds up forcing a trade...

I was always a big Lewan fan, but he's lost a ton of weight. I think he's giving up on the NFL and just happy to be doing his podcast with Barstool Sports.

Let's cut this one off before it gets started, we will never trade for Diggs, nor should we even entertain it.

Absolutely one of the best WRs in the league, better than Hopkins is at this point as well.  But the guy is a huge diva who demands targets and when he doesn't get as many as he likes, he loses his cool.

That's just the exact opposite type of a WR you want to give to a rookie QB, particularly one whose game looks like it will be predicated on making the right reads, spreading the ball around, and not forcing the ball to any one player.

Would be the worst thing for Bryce's development and even worse for the development of TMJ/Mingo than Hopkins would be.

to be clear I wasn't suggesting we would or should be involved, this is an NFL news thread so that's why I added it

I had a feeling from some comments he said last year he seems to be getting tired of never making it to the Super Bowl and feels the Bills window is closing. 
I am kinda in that camp too. But I think McDermott will enter 2023 season on a warm seat.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
