The offer the Bills made for Rasul being "too good to pass up" is certainly a take.

Eh, it was a cap decision on a CB who will be 29 next year.  He's been burned more than a few times this season (as has everyone on the team).  Was going to get big money and the team doesn't need to pay a 30 year old CB during a rebuild.  Was he probably the leader of the defense, sure... but that defense is a MESS.  Take the draft capital, salary cap money, and move on.

It certainly wasn't the worst decision made yesterday.

Yeah, Rasul was going to be a cap casualty next year anyway.

Yeah I dunno, of all of the decisions GB has made in the last few years, turning a 5th into a 3rd, saving $9 ($6.5? seen both)M off the cap, and making your team marginally worse in a lost season that only benefits from additional losses for draft position seems like not the place I'd direct my criticism.

Sounds like Jerry Krause, circa late 1990s!

At least Gutey kills it with third round draft picks!  The players he has drafted in the 3rd round are:

Oren Burks
Jace Sternberger
Josiah Deguara
Amari Rodgers
Sean Rhyan
Tucker Kraft

Looking forward to seeing who he adds in 2024!

In Gute's defense (just this once) Oren Burks is having a decent post GB career

Also, he put up good numbers last year (interceptions) largely by jumping routes and taking gambles. This year, opposing defenses have a lot of tape on him, and know the exact routes he likes to jump and take gambles on. As a result, he gets burned a lot, because they set him up to take the gamble and then expose him.

I think it was Goff on the lions who said they made a specific call knowing that they'd get a TD on Rasul because of the film...they got a TD.

Dish is right. No GM should draft two "QBs of the future."

Regardless of whether he's drafting a QB or not, Gutey cannot be the GM going into this draft. Highest draft pick in decades, two 2nds, and two 3rds. Just cannot have Gutey being the one making these picks.

He will be making those picks.  Mark Murphy isn't going to be installing a new GM and coaching staff before he retires in two years.

Am I missing what was so bad about how Gutey communicated the trade to Douglas?

Seems that Douglas was bummed to leave and that's more of the frustration.

Certainly Joe Barry can figure out Brett Rypien today.
