    and why is this opinion any more valid than others.....or obvious

     

    clearly dhop is available in a trade

    clearly the bills have a need

    beane admitted they made a call and anything beyond that he is not allowed to talk about a player under contract with another team

    arizona has set a value on dhop, nobody has yet been willing to meet it

    there is no immediate deadline.....so the negotiation dance continues

     

    now, where were we.....oh yea, on the way to 200

    Now do rounds 2-7

     

    i avoided those....they didnt help my arguement.....lol

     

    2017 - dawkins & milano

    2018 - taron johnson & wyatt teller (yea i know)

    2019 - singletary & knox

    2020- davis, bass, hodgins (yea i know)

     

    and i'm sure you can name alot of misses

     

    seriously tho, there is not a direct coorelation between rookies playing and team success.....of the final 4 conference championship teams, only 1 (cincy) made that top 10 list

    When you have a good team. Your rookies ain’t gonna see much time. 

     

    there are so many other ways to acquire and retain  talent that hinder rookie playing time that skew the OP metric

     

    trades, free agent, extending your own players

     

    as far as drafting goes, here's a recap of recent first round picks (not to shabby)

     

    2017 - tre white

    2018 - josh allen

    2018 - tremaine edmunds

    2019 - ed oliver

    2021 - greg rousseau

    2022 - kaiir elam

    Not as bad as you think.  Cap it supposed to go up another 30M next year. With that kind of cap growth - this becomes much less of an issue.  Those players will continue to restructure (unless age gets in the way - Von) - and lower the current cap hit - and push it forward into 2025+ where the cap is even BIGGER.  

     

    Pushing forward cap hits is a terrible idea when the cap is static.  But when it's going up 10-15%/year - this is the game you play.

     

    everything you're saying is true....let me try to make my point a different way

     

    the salary cap is going up $30 mil for all teams.....but the bills have already pushed more dollars into the future than our main opponents. they will be in much better position to improve their roster.

     

    spotrac estimated cap space for 2024:

     

    Bills     minus $17 mil (thats over the the cap already)

    KC      plus $62 (under)

    Cincy  plus $109 (under)

     

    this is just a generalization....we can quibble about who is or isnt in those cap totals

  7. Allen / diggs / von combined cap hit for 2023 is $40 mil

    Allen / diggs / von combined cap hit for 2024 is $100 mil

     

    this is pretty strong evidence that beane is going for it now

     

    bills are currently right up against the salary cap and have already mortgaged part of our future years

     

    we currently have somewhere in the range of  $5-10 mil in avail cap space 

     

    that forces beane to make several small incremental upgrades with proven veterans on short term (1 yr) low salary ($2mil) deals

     

    when a superstar high cap player like hopkins is added....it likely means something might need to exit...like say an ed oliver

     

    so i reject the notion the bills aren't going for it.....any more going for it would be reckless

     

    would i take the rams model of winning the super bowl then totally blowing it up a couple years later....hell yea, but there is no guarantee..... how painful is it now to be a rams fan in 2023

  8. the ball hit gabe davis right in his extended  left hand and deflected straight down thru his bread basket and to the ground. id call it a drop. 

     

    sauce gardner coverage was so tight that gabes right hand/arm was hindered trying to raise it up and never got it on the ball.

     

    with all the hand checking, gabe never jumped up to high point the ball.

     

    gabe had a mediocre season but supposedly played thru a high ankle sprain most of year.

     

    hope he takes advantage of his opputunities....i feel like one of the new WR's or shakir will outplay him

  9. dhop has 2 years left on his deal but NONE of it is guaranteed. all his guaranteed money has been paid. his salary in 2023 is $19.45 and $14.915 in 2024.

     

    Arizona is on the hook for a 2023 cap hit of $30.7 mil. if they cut him now his dead money is $22.6 for a savings of $8.1 or they could designate post june 1 and push some into 2024. if they keep him in 2023 his cap hit for 2024 is $26.2 with $11.3 in dead money.

     

    dhop "had" a no trade clause. it was terminated with his PED suspension.

     

    if traded, the new team is on the hook for $19.45 in 2023 and $14.915 in 2024 none of it guaranteed.
