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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Marv refused to overpay for FA OL help like Stephen Neal, and the fans found that perfectly acceptable.
Now, Marv made reach draft picks that he will now have to overpay, but the fans also find that perfectly acceptable.
So is overpaying players a good idea or not? Some of you are trying to have it both ways.
How will he overpay? Our rookie cap will be about 3 mill. All teams have one. Agents know this. He didn't overpay for OLDER guys. He will pay what is the slotted standard (+10% I believe) for where our guys were drafted and it will be over a long term contract.

you said it yourself. They're paid by the slot where they're drafted. If someone's a reach, they're picked at a higher slot than they should have been, meaning they will be paid more than if they were taken at the appropriate slot.
That's overpaying. Plus there are signing bonuses and other ways of manipulating the cap. You don't think Whitner's agent can find a way to take advantage of the fact that the Bills thought he was the 8th best player in the draft?
In that case, none of them should be taken the first day. They are all overrated and unproven until they actually play with the pros.

The biggest thing we learned from the Bills is that they are a resilient bunch and did what they had to do to win instead of past years where they fold like a cheap lawn chair.

That's what Marv's mentor, George Allen, thought. He was known to trade away entire drafts for proven veterans.
To some extent I agree with him, however in the salary cap age it's impossible to have a team full of proven vets- you still need a good draft to be competitive.
