Alexander did retire, right? I was listening to the radio yesterday and he was on, and they introduced him as "Buffalo Bills LB...". He was on GR/ESPN talking about the CBA.

He's technically a Bill until tomorrow afternoon.

Interesting, market did suffer its worst intra day loss in its history so I would not be surprised one bit for a correction tomorrow.

If you’re buying to hold, you should of waited another month.

Position in MSFT didn't even last until opening bell. Got out at 138 and change taking a quick 2%. All cash as of present. Thinking about another VIXY move today, but who knows. Day trading is not my normal habit.

It's weird to say for the few years he was here, but Lorenzo is potential Wall of Fame. Total professional, hardest working guy on the roster, one of the smartest players to come through Buffalo in some time, a guy whose jersey you can buy for your kid and not have to worry about it, and a heck of a defender.

I love reading all these people complaining about what we paid for diggs

1. diggs is a pro bowl WR
2. half the money cooper is getting paid
3. we still have 7 draft packs, no chance 10 drafted players were gonna make the roster



literally about 30% of the people b!tching about the trade

Nobody would be complaining if Bill O'Brian wasn't an absolute idiot ruining an entire franchise.

I was back and forth till I saw how cheap his contract was. I still want a taller guy but Gandy GOlden from Liberty late would be interesting

If you get 4 yards every play you’re getting first downs. Doesn’t always have to be a home run. Smart move !

It's a good trade, very good plug and play guy, no rookie learning curve and he's what 25 or 26. Plus the Bill's could still get a size WR in the 5th or 6th that could help. Hill or Parker wouldn't be bad adds in the later Rnds.

That was the right move for the Bills 100%. They have a legitimate #1 WR now.

I feel it is fair to acknowledge it was a good deal for both sides.

That’s all I was getting at last night, I’m not sure if it was misinterpreted or not.

Beane had a very good night and Bills mafia should be happy this morning.

Good post man. I'm not sure he has the years (not debating, just wondering) but the caliber of player and person is absolutely top notch. I hope he continues to be a part of the community.

Who's complaining? Twitter?

You know who's not complaining? The Cards. Because they gave up nothing. Bill O'Brien is (frank)ing drunk at the wheel driving the Speed bus.

What's great about a generally even trade (I give the nod to the Vikes) is that you'll have haters from both sides.

Remember all the good riddance posts from the God trade?

I for one, love it.

-Stefon Diggs makes 8M less than Amari Cooper.
-He is 26 years old.
-He is clearly one of the top 5 receivers in the game.
-You gave up a late first ((draft pick, at best (AT BEST) turns into Diggs)), Russel Bodine and Wyatt Teller, and a 4th, for an ELITE receiver.
-Brandon Beane continues to hang dong like a boss.

And your drive stalls at the 45 yard line because it can't be sustained only getting 4 yards per play. You need BIG plays to score. Typical Flacccoville group think rhetoric.

Glad Beane wasnt going to count on a 1st round pick to fill the team's biggest hole next year

Take notes, JB

Sure but not every play is a 30 yard pass or a 30 yard run.

I understand equating stock market returns to football may not have been the best analogy this morning.

If the Sabres were a playoff team last year I would agree.

BDE.

I'd like Botts to be in the room, at a safe social distance, to learn a few things.

The Bills had a need and filled it without relying on a rookie. It has nothing to do with the playoffs

Also trading the 21st picks and the 8th pick is very very different

The trade is solid, but he is in no way one of the top 5 wrs in the game. Not close. poop, there was a good argument he wasn’t the best WR on the Vikings.

They gave up a lot for Diggs. That's not to say it's a bad trade, but it's definitely not a bargain.
