All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Because of the quick turnaround time between Tuesday trade, the Wednesday flight, and the Thursday game, Benjamin left his home in Carolina quickly and didn’t pack much. McDermott told him to go home and pack up more stuff and get it up to Buffalo.
Benjamin said no.
...because he wanted to stay and work. Welcome to Buffalo, Mr. Benjamin.
Pretty sure it is against the rules, we've already discussed players putting extra time in and it's 'ok' because none of the staff are present.
I'm not saying you're wrong, because I don't know. I'm just saying that if you're right, it doesn't seem to make much sense. Why would the CBA actively prevent players from voluntarily trying to improve?

It doesn't really, they just can't have staff present.
Benjamin putting in OT with Tyrod, Shady and the rest of the WR's? OK. When a coach is present? Not OK. There are limits on how much practicing, and what kind, players are exposed to and the language regarding having staff present is there to protect the players from coaches that might pull 'voluntary' *wink*wink* activities over and above what is allowed.
I could be wrong, there might be some language that allows that kind of activity to account for special circumstances like in-season trades also.

"But this is a great opportunity for me. I'm excited -- brand-new city, brand-new team. When I got here, man, they had open arms. I'm loving it. I'm excited."
However, the fourth-year wideout did not know why the Panthers traded him, saying Monday, "Who knows?" It could have been multiple reasons," Benjamin said. "Money issues. Who knows? At the end of the day, I'm here, I'm happy, I'm excited. Right now, I'm just moving forward."
Kelvin Benjamin said he wasn't surprised by the Panthers' decision to trade him to the Bills, saying Carolina could have "multiple reasons" for making the deal.
I'm assuming the extra work Benjamin put in with the coaches was related to classroom stuff like learning the playbook, watching film, etc.
Putting restrictions on practice is all about limiting exposure to physical wear and tear, and injuries. I don't think the rules are intended to limit study time with coaches.

All along we suspected. Money issue. I don't know what he's looking for in an extension. Maybe the Panthers got some hint of numbers from his agent. And we all know the Panthers' cap issues. If the next 8 games he proves to be a capable #1 (not necessarily elite) WR with the Bills, I won't be surprised the Bills give him an extension.
