On this episode of Talking Buffalo, it's another edition of "The Podbag" as Patrick Moran is responding to questions and takes from listeners on several topics, including a discussion on which of the four big Buffalo Bills extensions can be considered "hometown discounts" after evaluating everything.Khalil Shakir, Terrel Bernard, Greg Rousseau and Christian Benford all signed four-year extensions with the Bills this offseason, a remarkable job by Brandon Beane and his staff anyway you slice it, and that doesn't even count the new Josh Allen contract. Many have called some or even all the deals extremely team friendly and even hometown discounts from the players. Patrick explains that why acknowledging every deal was one he is excited about, he stops short of calling them anything better than fair market deals in three of the four cases. Which is the one true deal Patrick feels falls well below what the player could've gotten a year from now in the open market?Also the never-ending James Cook drama took another twist this week when his house in Orchard Park was listed for sale. It has many fans angry and ready to turn the page on him right now. Patrick explains why he continues to dig his feet into the ground and insists you find a way to get another year of fully motivated James Cook before preparing to lose him in 2026.This week's Podbag also features a handful of draft questions and comments, including reaction to yesterday's first Bills mock draft that featured David Tilton from Cover 1.That plus a handful of Sabres take that show fans, and certainly not Patrick is the least bit sold on their hot streak of late and plenty more.Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBBlue Sky: @PatrickMoranTB.bsky.socialInstagram: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
