y'all are still debating o'reilly?
- Michael Pachla



It is a fool's errand, but yes.

I look forward to learning which player will be villified next year. In November, Eichel came close to getting it, so my money is on him.

He doesnt make Girgensons and Pominville top-6 players, he's a bum!

Yeah, what he said, Eichel is a bum.

Problem is it's going to go

Allen
Darnold
mayfield
Rosen

Or

Darnold
Allen
Mayfield
Rosen

Allen goes 1 we lose out on one of the top 4

- dadeadhead


I don't think Allen goes high. In fact, I'd be willing to believe he gets past pick 25. I don't understand how Allen going high is bad for the Bills?

I know it's just one set of opinions in a sea of others, but the questions are well documented and almost universally agreed upon throughout most of the big sources. Not that I know anything more than the next fan, but if it were me, my order would be

Rosen
Darnold
Mayfield
Jackson
Lauletta
Allen
Rudolph

Meaning maybe he has more value than we know

It's better than seeing a third-line player for him etc

- gerbe75pts

yeah sure.. just like everyone thought Kane would get us a 1st and upper prospect at a minimum.. instead we may get a 1st and a B prospect.. yippie skippie..

Fans don't have any say, cool your excitement. It will make things less Macaulay Culkiny when they don't happen for you

IMO the listen part is going to be eat 1.5 of the cap hit and we can talk business
- dadeadhead

the whole reason for moving him is the cap space.. if we have to eat 1.5 mil it ain't worth it. i doubt you can get many players of his caliber easily for 6 mil cap hit which would equate the same if we eat 1.5..

they trade him for culture change, to remove hippie stench, and to get some speed into this bumhole lineup

were not trying to find a comparable to ror, we are looking for a player that fits into the new uptempo system.

From my understanding there is a deal in place for pick 2 only if Darnold goes 1.

Allen is going in the top 5 and the Giants want Darnold. If Cleveland goes Allen the deal is off, the go Darnold the Bills move up to 2 and take Allen. The Jets go Mayfield or Rosen and Denver goes Rosen or Mayfield whom ever is left. Denver isn't moving from 5 and Cleveland isnt passing on Barkley twice.


Like it or not Allen is going long before pick 25 and it just might be to us. The fans are not going to be happy with the pick nor the haul given up to get to 2. Neither will they be happy staying at 12 if Allen goes 1.

It isn't about the hit for other teams, it's the that contract is buyout proof and after next season his cap hit is 7.5 but salary is 6.

Maybe just maybe they should answer that age old question



Is Nelson an RFA and if not, why?


I'll hang up and listen.

It's also this: if you're holding salary, whatever player you bring in to replace his 60p is (salary + 1.5).

That's the real cost

Darnold is going #1. People paying attention would've seen Haslam sitting with Darnold's parents at his pro day. Bills getting Rosen. 3ER has been saying it for years folks and it really isn't even close. Like I said, I'll either be the G.O.A.T. or the goat on April 26th.

Not salary cap hit.

You can retain the hit and not pay actual salary.

When trading a player you can retain salary, bonus, and/or cap hit.
