They were probably good with keeping Smiley but changed course because someone they covet became available.

Never take Dennis Gilbert out of this lineup again.

The man was an MVP and is still underrated. Thurman Thomas changed the RB position and offensive schemes permanently.

@AllbrightNFL Very cool of you to respond. Thanks again!

@AllbrightNFL The day of the draft, someone leaked a bunch of his tweets from high school I think to damage his stock? But that’s interesting that he wasn’t in play any higher regardless. Thanks Ben! This stuff fascinates me.

@JeffGH_D We call that a convergence of good circumstances, Jeff.

You’re all nuts.

@ajlfd 🤣

Would you rather go to the Super Bowl and lose but no awards for Allen, or lose the AFCCG but Allen gets MVP?

@ajlfd I’m a homer but I think even as a passer, Allen did more with less.

@WNYHobbyClub Actually an Allen restructure alone makes it possible. And they could do more. It’s really just about giving up those assets. I’m not sure there’s anyone on defense outside of Benford who I wouldn’t be willing to part with.

@CShanz27 If it were MLS, sure. This is nonsense.

@WHENESOTA Same.

@WHENESOTA Did you know when Buffalo lost their expansion bid, they made an attempt to lure the Expos to WNY?
