When I look at the Bills on paper, doesn't it look like one of either Keyon Coleman or Dalton Kincaid kind of has to take a step forward for this pass-catching core to reach its ceiling, cause in ADP Kincaid and Coleman are, they're like touch and tags, they're right by each other.
Do you agree with that?
And if you had to pick between the two, who do you think is more likely to take a step forward and Coleman, his second season, and Kincaid in his 3rd season?.
Kincaid in his 3rd season.
I think it's Kincaid.
Like they took both those guys early.
I totally agree with you that they're expecting, you know, hopefully one, ideally both to give them more than they've given them so far.
Coleman was the kind of guy, I think we saw very early on when he came in last year that he was going to be a little bit of a project, right?
He had that really fun personality, he had all the enthusiasm in the world, but once he got out there, it was pretty evident that it was going to take a little bit of time for him.
Kincaid's had that opportunity, right?
The, the time has been there.
Now he's just got to get to it.
He finished 2nd on the Bills in targets last year with 75, despite the fact that he was battling through the injuries that I mentioned.
So, if he's out there, if he's healthy for a full year, what does that look like?
What does that number look like?
Can he potentially be that, you know, #2 target in the offense?
Now, the concern I think with him, and you could look at this with Kraft as well, had the Bills and the Packers just decided like, we're not gonna have a number one receiver.
We're not gonna have a guy that we're constantly going to.
We're gonna game plan every single week.
We're gonna spread the ball around.
We're gonna let our quarterbacks and, you know, these offensive play callers really handle a lot of that.
And are they gonna have success doing that?
I mean, you could argue that they have, right?
The Bills have gotten away with it ever since Joe Brady took over.
So do they necessarily need that guy to emerge as that you know, guy who can win no matter what week in and week out, or do they just let Josh Allen kind of find the open guy?
That's my biggest concern with Kincaid right.
Now, because I think he was showing enough before the injury-filled year last year.
I think he was showing enough that he was on a path to being a decent fantasy tight end.
Is he going to be one of the, you know, top 3, top 5 tight ends?
Maybe not, but he can easily be a, a fantasy tight end one, a top 10, top 12 guy.
Uh, we just need to see him stay healthy, really.

Cowboys sign TE Jake Ferguson to $52M deal as Micah Parsons continues without extension

The Dallas Cowboys got a deal done at training camp, but not the one fans are looking for. The Cowboys announced Sunday morning that they have signed tight end Tony Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million extension. All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons, meanwhile, remains without a deal as he seeks an extension entering the final year of his rookie contract. The deal for Ferguson makes him the highest-paid tight end in Cowboys history and the seventh-highest paid tight end in the NFL, according to the Cowboys. He signed the extension with one year remaining on his four-year rookie contract that scheduled to pay him $3.4 million in 2025. A fourth-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, Ferguson was a part-time starter as a rookie and has been Dallas' No. 1 tight end in the two seasons since. He emerged as one of quarterback Dak Prescott's favorite targets in 2023 with 71 catches for 761 yards and five touchdowns. Ferguson's production dropped last season as he tallied 59 catches for 494 yards without a touchdown. That still led Cowboys tight ends and was the good for the third-highest production among all Cowboys pass catchers behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert. The Cowboys bolstered their receiving corps with the addition of former Pittsburgh Steeler George Pickens in the offseason. Ferguson projects to remain as a top target for Prescott. Jerry Jones jeered by fans over lack of Parsons progress Parsons, meanwhile remains without a contract extension as the Cowboys prepare to practice in pads for the first time on Sunday. The absence of his extension remains the top story at Cowboys camp and one of the biggest training camp stories in the NFL. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was greeted with boos and calls from fans to "pay Micah" as he addressed fans during a public training camp session on Saturday. Jones' address to fans took place days after his Monday news conference in which he swiped at the availability of both Parsons and quarterback Dak Prescott while addressing Parsons' contract status at the start of training camp. Just because we sign him doesn't mean we're going to have him," Jones said of Parsons. "He was hurt six games last year. Seriously. I remember signing a player for the highest-paid at the position in the league and he got knocked out two-thirds of the year — Dak Prescott. "So there's a lot of things you can think about, just as the player does, when you're thinking about committing and guaranteeing money.' Parsons was not "hurt six games last year." He missed four of 17 games with injury. In his previous three seasons, Parsons played in 50 of 51 regular-season Cowboys games. He's a three-time All-Pro and has made the Pro Bowl after each of his four seasons. Parsons is seeking a deal that will make him among the highest-paid defenders in football after fellow All-Pro pass rushers Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt signed contracts in the offseason paying them $40-plus million per season. Watt signed a three-year, $123 million extension ahead of Steelers training camp that set the new bar. Parsons reported to training camp without his extension, but has been a limited participant since practices started on Tuesday. He watched Wednesday's session from the sideline with back tightness, but declined to call himself a hold-in. Training camp escalates in intensity starting Sunday as the Cowboys practice in pads for the first time.

Rashawn Slater agrees to four-year, $114-million deal with the Chargers

Rashawn Slater, a former first-round draft pick and one of the leaders on the Chargers offensive line, is staying in L.A. for the long haul. Slater has agreed to a four-year, $114-million contract extension, according to a person with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. Slater, a two-time Pro Bowl selection and a second-team All-Pro in 2021, will be paid out $92 million guaranteed, ESPN and NFL Media reported. Read more: Is Tuli Tuipulotu the next Joey Bosa for the Chargers? Edge rusher 'does it all' Working as Justin Herbert's blindside protector, Slater started every game last season and played a valuable role in helping the Chargers set a franchise record for the fewest offensive turnovers (eight) in a season. He finished last season with the second-best overall grade and the third-best pass-blocking grade at offensive tackle, per Pro Football Focus. Slater's tireless efforts certainly won over Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, who has Slater in his exclusive "Elite Nine" club on the team that includes stars Khalil Mack, Derwin James Jr. and Herbert, among others. 'Speaking on behalf of everyone in the organization, fully support Rashawn and what he's trying to accomplish for himself and his family,' said Harbaugh last month about Slater's push for a contract extension. 'We're all in support.' Times staff writers Sam Farmer and Thuc Nhi Nguyen contributed to this report.

Sabres avoid arbitration by signing defenseman Connor Timmins to 2-year, $4.4 million contract

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres avoided a salary arbitration hearing with Conor Timmins by signing the newly acquired defenseman to a two-year, $4.4 million contract on Sunday. The 26-year-old Timmins was a restricted free agent and acquired with defenseman Isaac Beliveau in a trade that sent blue-liner Connor Clifton to the Pittsburgh Penguins on June 28. The Sabres are Timmins' fifth team in six NHL seasons since the 2017 second-round draft pick broke into the league with Colorado in 2019-20. He finished last season with a career-high three goals and 15 points in 68 games split between Pittsburgh and Toronto. Overall, he has six goals and 46 points in 159 games. Timmins' signing leaves the Sabres with goalie Devon Levi as their only unsigned restricted free agent. ___ AP NHL:
