Hangman officially leaves Buffalo.

we need hangman to stay but he won't.

he wants a chance to start and deserves one but he isn't going to get one here.

he is going to be offered a bigger contract than what we can afford to and should pay a back up.

let him go and let us fix other issues.

My longtime beef with Hangartner has been that he's way better as a pass blocker than a run blocker. He doesn't get anywhere near the same upfield push as Kalil or even Vincent, and he certainly doesn't have the ability to get to the second level and block downfield that Kalil does.

That said, those things weren't as big an issue last season, and I'd still want him back.

he routinely gets pushed back facing guards. If the Bills think he's going to be able to block Jenkins, it might be because of knowledge of him, not because he'll somehow push a guy 50 lbs heavier than him who gets better leverage and has much more talent.

I like GH, he redeemed himself a little last year and was fun playing the goal line TE down the stretch. But, if you're going to get paid like a vet, you should have more drive in the run game. At any rate, a very good player for a 5th round pick, we got all we could out of him.

A cheap vet won't be hard to find.

    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place. 
    • Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
    • So I was curious and remember seeing a tweet but here are Young’s numbers vs Strouds number since that time  Stroud since week 3 2025. Bryce since coming back off the bench and playing in Denver
