    We did it for 20 years with nothing to show for it. Now, we're in a pretty good spot with our franchise QB, with still nothing to show for it.


    Even though we haven’t won the SB yet, I’ve enjoyed four consecutive division titles.  Better than being mediocre every year, at least for me.

    Yes but to be a player in FA, isn’t this pretty much still a foregone conclusion it needs to be done?


    Probably.  Maybe Beane wants to see what FA commitments he can land in next couple of days, to know how much money he needs to move around with Josh.  More efficient to just do that on Wed, than do it now and move more or less around than he needs to.

    You mean the D that managed to lose to both Mac Jones and Zach Wilson in the same season?

     


    You might want to check again, we didn’t lose to Zach Wilson this past season bc of McDs D, it was Josh’s boneheaded second half that gave the game away.  But that aside, as long as the Bills keep winning the division, these teams are going to be second guessing their QB situations and shuffling through one guy after another.  Much like we had to do for almost 20 years.

    I don’t know that Diggs has ever been the “take over a game” type WR1.  


    Maybe a Steelers game a few years back?

     

    But I do think he’s still a WR1.. and a good one at that.  But with just a slight dip due to age, the lack of WR2 threat opposite him has been far more of an issue.  


    This is where I’m at.  Need to start drafting WRs that can eventually be Josh’s WR1.  That said, I still think Diggs is at a WR1 level, maybe just not a top 5 guy like the last couple of years.  And that could dip to WR2 or less before too long.

    His production with Big Ben was pretty good but if the Steelers want out there's a reason. Outside of Pickens and Freiermuth, I don't think the Steelers are committed to any of their skill position players. 


    They prob want to beef up their draft capital and land one of the cheaper, younger WRs in this draft.  Essentially like when the Vikes traded up Diggs, and ended up with Justin Jefferson.

    THIS IS BS!!!!  We were supposed to be pick 99 and instead the Niners who get AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF COMP PICKS take our spot 

     

     


    Yep, and then when the 49ers are good again next year, Brock Purdy will continue to get talked about as league MVP, when he’ll have a stacked roster around himself.

    When the Bills win a title, there are players I'm going to think about w/ gratitude, and wishing that they could have achieved that goal while they were on the team.

     

    Hyde & Poyer top that list.  They helped give the Bills D a fierce identity, and were always a joy to watch.  I wish both guys the best.

     


    I’ve always had a vision of the 90s HOFers all being there when we finally win it all, and celebrating with the current team.  Next year in NOLA, party on Bourbon Street?

    Jerry sullivan tried to do what the coach did on the newspaper. Dickerson was lovable somehow. 


    To me the difference is Dickerson had the advantage of having actually coached the game, AND the chance to be verbally heard.  Hence, a lot more credibility than Sullivan and a chance to connect more directly with his audience.    Plus, it always felt like the Coach at least wanted to see the team win, whereas with Sullivan, felt like he enjoyed when the team was losing.

    Not to be picky, but to clarify: salary money, as far as I understand it, is only charged to the cap during the year that the salary is earned (ie, when the player plays). Salary is basically for playing time; bonuses are extra and don’t have to be counted in the year the player plays—they are spread out over the life of the contract.

     

    So you don’t put salary money into void years, because the player is not playing during the void years. Void years are only for bonus money, and for the purpose of spreading out the bonus money over more years, lessening each year’s cap hit but extending the cap hit over more years.

     

    This is one reason you often hear salary money being converted into bonus money—it lowers the salary cap hit for that year, so that more of the player’s earnings is bonus money, which can then be spread out over more years. Adding void years allows you to then spread it out over even more years.

     


    No worries here, appreciate the clarification on salary money v bonus money and the latter being what you can spread out.
