Good for Damar

Please don’t discuss logic in the face of an emotional knee jerk reaction. After all there is 100% success with WR’s taken in late rd#1.

Ouch …..

It’s hard to understand what you think about Martin from this post. Might you clarify?

Leaking uniforms sounds like a commercial for depends…..

I think Beane is following his tried and true strategy which is to try to enter the draft without a glaring need on the roster. I think the Bills take BPA at #28. My Guess is that it is likely to be one of three positions DT, Edge or WR listed in order of most likely pick. If not WR at #28 I do think they will get one in RD #2.

I would agree that the Bills will pick BPA according to their board. However, I can’t imagine they have a S at #28. I think it is more like to be in this order of importance DT, Edge, WR. I would be shocked if the pick is not one of these three positions. Maybe they go S in round #2 only because they do not have a rd #3 pick. Keep in mind the safety “market” looks to be significantly devaluing across the league.

The common thought is teams need about $12M in space to take care of draft picks and to have some “room” to sign players for in-season needs (injury replacements).

They are the best numbers publicly available. I agree that the Bills are meeting league requirements somehow. The accounting details are critical and I assume the websites tracking the information probably can’t’ have the exact same information the Bills send to the league.

I agree for him but hate it as a Bills fan.

As for the draft I am very gun shy regarding any trade up scenario for a WR. After Sammie Watkins I would prefer to stay put at draft choice.

He has not made big plays in the playoffs.

One of the biggest mysteries to last season was Diggs lack of production in the back half of last season. His production must return in 2024 given his presence, role and cap hit. This is not intended as a bash Diggs thread. Rather, what do you think happened nad how does it play into Buffalo’s draft?

Ditto^^^^^^ Glad to read that you are started on the road to recovery. Prayers for you.

I don’t believe the cap situation is “screwed up.” Josh is a big number that the Bills have to work around. The Bills also got “old” in NFL years and they are having to shed that age and expense. Finally, the Bills put big money on Von and got about a halfish season out of him. The Bills are making moves to get younger. The Chiefs did the same thing.

This was my first thought.

I think that is all the Bills do as they will need not create any down the road headaches. The only exception may be going after someone like Floyd for pass rush. Maybe they do a tiny splash here. Keep in mind they need to be $15-$18MM under the cap soon for rookies and in season signings (injury replacements).

The high salaries commanded by top QB’s are creating these dynamics. I would guess that the WR market is also due for a downstep given more good ones seem to be emerging from college.

This is one reason why I do not support an 18 week season. It drives the playoffs deep into cold weather situations.

I wonder if Von redid his deal in an attempt to help get Floyd back. It’s a long shot but would love it if Beane can work this out along with a solid EDGE pick in round 1 or round 2.

Yeah but we really mean garden hoe. An old, outdated and rarely useful tool.

Thank you for posting as it is a very good summary of multiple moves. Beane is earring his paycheck.

Both sites list him as “active” so he is counting towards the cap projections provided. So if nothing else happens they are cap “compliant” post June 1

I thought I would create one thread and do the following: Merge the current cap projection threads Provide a daily update for 2024 in the first post from sportrac and over the cap as being primary sources While not a reliable # yet, update daily, in the first post, the 2025 projections from the same sources The remainder of the thread will contain “normal” chatter on the topic. 2024 projections: Sportrac $7,462,633 Over Overthecap $9,052,381 Over 2025 projections: Sportrac $38,898,522 Under Over the cap $29,041,425 Under

Maybe JA enjoyed it.
