Great news for all. Hines can focus on his passion for jet skiing now too.

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. -
If I’m thinking about it right, if you put too much of your players’ salaries into Void years, you effectively could put your team into cap hell in the future. Having to account for the cap hit on players that may not even be on your team anymore.

Kind of just creates another need for them, too. They're already short good WR's.
MVS kind of sucks though, in my opinion. If I have $12M to spend or a few more bucks, I’d spend it on a guy like Gabe Davis before MVS.-

The comparison here is Trey Lance because of the draft position and cap hit and the 49ers were able to get a 4th round pick. There are a few teams out there with a ton of cap room who want to add a qb to the competition. I think the Commanders, Bears, Patriots, and Raiders could deal a late round pick for him.
I don’t know, with Lance there’s still an element of unknown and upside. Wilson’s shown enough to me that he just sucks.-

Lots of back and forth about who is lying here, but still no one asking why she was playing football with Hill.Is this a euphemism for rough sex?
Lol the story explains that her 10 year old son had signed up for one of his camps, which in some way led to him inviting her to his place and having all 6’1” of her line up as a D lineman then O lineman in his backyard. Both of them seem to be extremely special. -
RIP Coach

Interesting. Well, we will likely need to find a new FS for ourselves. If Benford and Elam (or Tre) can serve as the starting outside CBs, and Douglas take over FS, helps fill some holes on the D.

Defense is going to get annihilated by good offenses regardless of who you sign or draft. I’d go all offense in FA and Draft, only add defense vis UDFA’s and bargain bin FA’s excepting vet minimum. Way too much money invested in this defense that folds every post season.
What offensive positions or players do you have in mind as FA targets? -
Sign Daquan and then add to the DL and S rooms in free agency. Address remaining needs in the draft.

Draft young, faster and cheaper WRs. 29 this year will be 30 by next, and isn’t that part of the concern with Diggs? I don’t like the idea of wasting money on any FA WRs this offseason. Shore up other positions as much as possible before the draft, otherwise round out the squad during the draft.

Super interested to see what he'll get in the open market. Good blocker and vertical field stretcher that pairs best with a QB who can extend plays. A low end WR2 at best though. I wish him luck and let's hope he qualifies for a comp pick.
I’d be surprised if he gets less than $12M/year, when guys like Christian Kirk get paid and even someone like Harty gets $6M/year.-

What exactly are the “cap is not real” people mean when they say that constantly?
There are always real consequences for cap maneuvering, some just come sooner then later.
It’s a similar principle as losing non-conference games helps your playoff odds 😇-

I like this format. It doesn't paint a pretty picture of us having a reliable foundation of elite talent.
Looks like they've only done the AFC East so far, the Pats are predictably weak but here's the Fins and Jets for comparison:
I don’t get why some players are grouped together, some aren’t. For instance, maybe Achane is fair being listed as good (although he had his share of injuries in year one, too). But I would NOT list Mostert as green too, yellow at best. He’s aging just as much as a guy like Diggs and is a RB, and is frequently banged up. Interesting way to look at where each team stands, but I question whatever the underlying approach is.-

They split the $7m over two years instead of paying it all in one season. Might have been because they believed he was going to hit the contact incentives built in? I don’t know why they chose to do it that way. Pretty rough either way though as that $4.3m is a decent chunk of change.
Kicked the can down the road is how I see it…-

Q: What is your level of patience on not advancing to the Super Bowl?
A: No patience, I would already have made a change.
And yet, even moving the comma, (it should actually be a period) it still doesn't make sense in the context of the question. The first part and second part seem to contradict each other.
Excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall.
Just embrace the chaos, man! -

I keep seeing "pay cut" or restructure for Tre White.
Do you have any idea the kind of pay cut he would have to take for keeping him to be even a remote possibility? It would be an insulting amount.
We're talking about a guy that if he were on the market now would have to take an incentive laden prove it deal. He never returned to consistent form from his ACL and then tore an Achilles.
His role would be a guy coming off the bench and mixing in, hoping he can get back up to speed. He's on a 16.44m cap hit this season and a 16.67m cap hit next season for that role. And unlike some other players that we can't get out from under right now, Tre White's out in that massive contract is THIS offseason.
When we gave up a 3rd for Douglas, it was pretty clear to me then that he wasn't only the Tre White replacement for just last year. In Douglas, Benford, Johnson, and Elam - we have our 3 starters and a 1st Round Pick coming off the bench in relief.
Douglas and Johnson will be extended and Benford has been getting better and better. He's the present and the future of the CB position and you don't want to mess with that development.
I just don't see a restructure or pay cut that makes sense for both sides. Save for White being okay with going from one of the top paid CB's in Football to being paid reserve money. We're not going to extend Douglas to put him on the bench and we're not going to stunt Benford's development by sticking him on the bench either. And we don't want that much money tied up into the CB position, especially for the role he'd have and being at best, a MASSIVE question mark.
In the position we're in, we have to come up with cap space anywhere we can. There's only a handful of players who have outs in their deals this offseason. Tre is the easiest decision amongst them, if you remove emotion from the equation.
We're set at CB without him. His replacement is already in house. The only reason to not move on is it would be sad to and fans are in their feels about it. And that's simply not a valid reason when it comes to Business.
If they cut White, how much do the Bills still owe him for this year and next? For instance, current deal, he’ll make around $16M in 2024, right? Cut him, do they still owe him $10M for 2024?

Aside from what LA did, most obvious examples were Manning and Brady going elsewhere in the twilight of their careers. Which further points to this being a QB driven league. I’d say point is don’t break the bank during FA, which the Bills can’t really do this year anyway.
