Beane and Adams shop in the same bargain bin.

When it comes to signing outside free agents, as Beane noted, don't expect any big splashes. The Bills will be shopping for bargains, which is why they really need to hit this draft and have some key contributions coming from players on cost-controlled contracts for the next few years.

The temperature is being turned up with #LAKings after dismissal of Todd McLellan.

This team is severely devoid of team leader...a guy others will get behind and play their ass off for.
As a result, the roster seems to be ruderless.

Translation - there isn't a single asset that is Untouchable, absolutely none.

- IonSabres


I don't know if that's it or a lack of motivation because they see guys like Girgs, Okposo and others returning.

I'd worry a lot more about putting together a good roster than bringing in "leaders". As an example, Eric Johnson is one of the worst FA signings we've made since Leino. He was supposed to be a great veteran leader...how's that turning out?

I'd rather we sign guys who play well, I could give two poops if they're silent otherwise.

Good post

Apparently there was some talk between cook and Henry at the pro bowl. Kidding about the best place to get wings in Buffalo.

Bills signed Murray and d Harris for decent $

Henry wants to win, Buffalo is a top destination

Right, at the end of the day, you have to be a positive member of the team. Looking around at various "Captain Rankings", all at the top are more than serviceable. Leads me to believe that leading by example is the most important thing.

You can hear it, but don't repeat, 89 patented that phrase.

You owe him $32.68.

The question is: who cut him this deal? The free masons or the reptilians?

Or even the cheap masons.

Sort by team, position, and you’ll find Trouba ranking dead last in Rangers d-men in any statistic worth a crap.

Not wasting any more time or ink then I already have

So, yes we are going of 1 year for him. Just like how Cat would have been a bad get because he looked off last year.

Yeah at 30(end of the month) and only 2 years left on the contract. I wouldn't worry about 1 down year.

Guys like that seem to more often than not turn it back around

47.66
49.87

Pretty big red flag, imo.
