That is true but if you’re bringing back Eli I don’t see them wasting a high pick on a quarterback when they need help imo

I definitely could see them drafting one in the second though

eli manning is 36 yrs old and has been looking like it the past couple of years

imo, the only reason he wasn't re-signed was because of Pominville...

I know botts had to take on pommer's salary, but that really hurt...pommer has been a no-show for a couple of months now

he can no longer create on his own and with the linemates he has had there was never a shot of him producing. put him back in the top 6 and he will start producing.. or what should have happened get decent 3rd linemates for him and he will have respectable numbers.

i bet he could, but i thought i read he was a pretty loyal guy.. he may have talked to Minnesota coaching and they asked him not to go so he said ok.. remember he went back to play highschool hockey instead of sticking in the USHL last year
- IndianaSabresFan



Not that i disagree with your premise, but if he were on the Olympic team, he'd be representing Minnesota and all of the U.S.

I haven't read anything, but i doubt he was even asked. This is the team of brilliant minds that snubbed Phil Kessel

he didn't have a goal in all of November and had only two assists in December...he's had powerplay time and has been on the ice with the Lehner pulled...

he does nothing for me

I think Vea will be there if we want him. I was on Spotrac last night and there are a lot of D tackles available in Free Agency. Star, Poe and Bennie Logan to name a few. Think we go somewhere else in 1st round. Assume you think there is no chance Roquan Smith is there for us in the 1st? he is hands down, no questions asked if there with our first

i guess i didn't realize he was doing that bad.. but that 2nd powerplay unit is probably the worst PP unit in all of the NHL and posibly behind several AHL units.. Kane is being wasted with that group

He and Foligno are superior players to most of the linemates he's had this year in general: wilson, Nolan, Moulson, Josefson. Larsson went from 3rd line to 4th line once those guys were moved. His useage is pretty different too.

I still agree with you in principle that he's bad, but i don't think you can say that Gionta made him good, so much as anybody with any skill would make him better

Hoping we use our picks to move up for a QB the 49ers have their franchise quarterback it looks Like the Giants are going to keep Eli so I don’t think they’re going to draft a quarterback with their top pick maybe in the second round


Browns are taking Josh Allen first overall so It should be a very interesting draft

- GERBE!!!75PTS

Dwayne Allen, Bills won't win another game. Say you don't know poop about football and leave it at that.

Dudes, also, not sure anyone realizes this, but Preston Brown had the most tackles in the NFL. UnBillievable. Problem was most of them were 8+ yards down field.

although i agree with this i have not been a fan of his consistency and think it is time to move on from him if he asks for any kind of a raise at all
