Good opportunity for Eichel to get some points on the board, or one can hope.

I like hearing Housley is getting angry.

Bout time someone tells these prima donnas to start moving.

What's funny is Mason Rudolph seems like so much more of a sure thing than Josh Allen.

https://www.buffalosports...aking-down-mason-rudolph/

I'm not comparing the talent level of Rudolph to Brady, but it really seems like they're similar types of players (average mobility, lack of arm cannon, lack of overwhelming physical traits) and Allen is more like a Cardale Jones. Great measurables, cannon arm, extremely mobile......and that's it. That seems like a guy destined to fail.

I bet Allen drops.

Someone mentioned yesterday that WGR was saying Botts already told players they're not coming back. Where's the source for that? Doesn't seem like good business to tell guys that mid season.

Motivation for guys to throw in the towel. We don't need any more wins this season, we need a top 3 pick, preferably, Dahlin. Finishing last has us picking no later than 4th, but finishing 3-4 has us possibly picking 6-8. I don't want to have to leave things up to GMJB to pull off another Mittelstadt pick, although I have faith he can. Let's just leave things as an easy, homerun pick.

Maybe he’s trying to do reverse psychology so they play good .

Hamilton said that Botterill has reportedly already told certain players they don't figure into the Sabres plans next year

Very interesting. Although I don't doubt it, it just doesn't seem like a common thing to do. Everyone is on the ice is trying to win for pride's sake. So I wonder what kind of moves he'll start with. You know after his Kane speech that this team is flat out unacceptable. And I bet we'll see the players who are unacceptable.

get out of here with that.

clearly he's paying for all the damage. But I wonder if it was a mental break.

one of allen, Mayfield, Jackson or Rudolph will probably be available between 6 and 10.

Bills can trade with Chicago at eight to secure one of them and still have plenty of picks including their first and second rounders

You’re correct Biron was saying he has not heard of this as most GMs will until after the last game of the season or just not negotiate with certain players.

in the article there was no evidence when you have “video evidence “

That seems kind of fishy to me he’s obviously paying for the damages but he’s paying people on the side too

I don’t understand how any old bills fan Would be OK with this didn’t you guys do this last time with Ben Rothlisberger

I don’t see anyway the bills go into next season without one of those three quarterbacks it would just be such an egg on their face

Because there are 4 QBs

Looking at how the draft should play is out part of the GM's job.

Them trading up to the top 5 when they could get that guy at 10 is like paying $300,000 for a house when you know you could get it for $200,000

It is bad asset management.

They only need to get ahead of Miami at this point and they're picking 11 and they are in no position to move up for a QB (if they even take 1 in the 1st this year which I doubt they do)

Moving up to just draft a guy is bad asset management when you look at how the draft will play out.
