The cap is real. The bill always comes do. There is no way around it. New Orleans and Cincinnati are two very good examples of how not to manage your cap situation. The key is knowing how many chips you should push in and when to push them.
To use Philly as an example, they have had an AWESOME run, and their cap management will be totally worth it, but once Hurts' contract starts to kick in, I don't think he is a good enough passer to make up for the (lack of) weapons they'll have. I know I know, SB MVP.

yes he did, vs. NYG to spoil the perfect season. NE only put up 14 points after scoring at will all year
That game was nowhere near a worse QB performance.
Mahomes turned the ball over 3 times. Brady lost by 3 and was in the game for all 4 quarters and held the lead twice.
Not scoring enough points is always better than giving away points.

I take away from this game that Mahomes isn’t as good as advertised and I hope the Bills players take that away too. He can be flustered and he can play like dog ***** until garbage time.
To me, this game was far different from his performance in 2020. Mahomes also sucked that game, but it was less of a personal disaster.
Last week, Mahomes was the #1 problem with the Chiefs offense. The Eagles helped him along but Mahomes was the Chief (get it) architect of the beat down.
I am no longer in Buffalo, I am in no-mans-land in the capital region. I have heard a lot of chatter that this game changed a lot of the narrative around Mahomes being the heir apparent to Brady.
But now that that is out there, I am sure that Mahomes will have a phenomenal 2025. -

Mahomes had the chance to catch Brady but blew it in the Tampa SB.
If KC won that won the ring race would be 6-4 in favor of Brady right now, with Mahomes only being 29.
Interestingly, Brady had only won 3 Super Bowls when he was 37.
I heard a crazy stat that Mahomes is 0-3 in the playoffs when Tom Brady is in the building. For that reason alone I am all for the league letting Brady to continue to work as a broadcaster, I hope Fox wins the bid for the next 10 Super Bowls, and they start picking up the AFCCG.

I think Cooks value is/was in the $8-10M range. But Barkley/Henry sort of reset the RB market and I think that will push his value to about $12M. $15M seems steep for a player I am already stretching to $12M for.

He looks disinterested and done here
I can't believe I am going to defend the New England era, but until Mahomes wins more rings, TB never had a SB as bad Mahomes did on Sunday, and performances like these from Kelce are exactly why Gronk is the best TE by quite some margin over Kelce.

I can guarantee you there's a crossover between that crowd and the people complaining.
Very curious of the crossover between the “oh no, boob commercial crowd” and the “I can’t believe we don’t have cheerleaders anymore” crowd.-

They easily could’ve taken away Philly’s second half strip sack with a straight hand to the face of Mahomes. Glad they let it go.
Would that call have reversed the strip sack? It came after Mahomes lost the ball by a different player than the guy who stripped the ball. Feels like that might have just pushed the 15 yards back.-

The Steelers are the perfect place for him right? Rodgers was actually pretty good this year. He’s an idiot but Tomlin has been able to check idiots. He could give them a 1-2 year window to compete.
I agree.
But if I am Pittsburgh I’m letting this roster get one more shot before I gut it for 2026 draft capital so that they can move up and get a QB. If I’m Pittsburgh I’d trade TJ Watt for a million picks to get a QB.

Dawk, he’s 67-98 as a career. Not exactly a HOF career.Hes a losing QB. A great guy, and avg. at best even in Buffalo. I love him too, but Eli Manning was just passed over with two SB wins against TB12. Eli Manning is also 117-117 career wide.
Whether you want or not, he’ll never even be considered for the Bills WOF. It’s just never ever going to happen. He’s a journeyman.
Wins and losses are team stats, not QB stats. So maybe shove that argument right back into your pie hole!Imagine seeing a detailed 20+ point list of a careers worth NFL records and being so immature to just respond with “bUt ThE wInS aNd LoSsEs”.

Jeremy Fowler is predicting that Higgins could be up to $30 million per season, https://www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/football/player-news?playerNewsId=00000194-cd78-da9f-a794-cf7aa9440000
I think TH at $30M is still way better value than $20M for Kupp. -

No freaking way you get Higgins for $20million, he's gonna be close to $30 million per. Trading a 4th or 5th for Kupp and renegotiating his contract to get him in the $10mil range for the next two years with maybe $15mil of the 20 total guaranteed would be a huge win for us. Kupp is only guaranteed $5mil this year and none in 2026 so he may be willing to to do something like that for a contender. Even at 32, would be the best WR on our team by far and is a team first guy, it's a no brainer if compensation is minimal and he's willing to play ball on the contact.
I know the math checks out as $20M < $29M but $29M feels cheaper because $20M for Cooper Kupp isn’t great value.
A bit of a typo from me above, I don’t want multiple dead years of decent money to make Kupp work.
I don’t think a real contender traded for him. -

Agreed. I think they would need to renegotiate and spread out that hit. But for a 4th or 5th rounder, may be worth it to roll the dice to see if he can stay healthy for a year.
I keep thinking that for $20M the Bills can grab Tee Higgins and keep their 4th.
In my head I would have to get Kupp down to the $5-7M range. I don’t love the cost of paying LAR to do that, and I “think” I hate what that would do to the cap when the bill comes due at the end of his run.
If there’s a world where we can grab him without 3 dead years of $15M and a 5th, I’d take a flyer.
Breaking this down in real time in my head, I think there’s a world where Kupp could be cut and he picks his next spot. He saves them $7M by just releasing him. Otherwise I don’t think a contender is willing to take the cap number/give the Rams a high pick to keep some money.

Kupp is 100% a process guy. Plus, probably a great scheme fit. I actually think the Bills might be the spot.
At $20M in cap dollars he’ll cost at best a 4th or worse. If the Rams keep money they’ll be looking for a top 100 pick maybe even a 2nd. I’m not sure I’d pull the trigger on another inside receiver given our other needs.
But I also agree with you that I think this one could maybe happen.

If the Chiefs win, Kelce will propose to her on the field, after the game.
You heard it here first lol.
I’ve heard that from non football Swifties as well. I hope it happens so that we can end this whole KC era.
Just get it over with.

allen is too nice to do it, but he should walk into the owner's office and say trade me or fire the front office.
he should say he's going to give pegula 24 hours and then he's holding a press conference making it public.
pegula would waffle, and then josh would do the confrence, and then mcd and beane and the ghosts of boogie basham and nate peterman will exit buffalo.
Lol. You just described the Sabres -
Unsure if the NFL is aware of this. But teams are allowed to win the Super Bowl twice.
FWIW Turner Construction who is building the new Bills stadium also built Yankee Stadium and SoFi. Both teams won their a championship in year 1 in their new building.

Beane has to finally get the DL right. I actually trust McD will figure out the secondary. I don't think McD has a clue how to build a pass rush, as evidenced by Epenesa and PED Murphy playing valuable snaps over his tenure. Hopefully Solomon will take a step forward and be a decent situational pass rush guy. I doubt he will ever be a starter.
Best bet is to mortgage the future and go get a proven star edge player. Takes too long to develop DL and picking at 30 the chances of getting a great one is low.
We need a bigger body to put next to Ed. Rousseau is a great complimentary pass rusher but not a great primary edge rusher. Getting somebody opposite him would be huge.
I really liked Rapp this year. A major upgrade from Hamlin would go a long way.
We need a better option on the outside at WR.

I’m still very angry at the league.
I rarely blame a play or a call. I’m a big proponent of their being more opportunities to right wrongs in the game.
But Christ. I feel so robbed still.
And a week after the nation openly criticized the leagues treatment of the Chiefs? Just to do it again the week after?

I was just saying 30 seconds ago that “maybe it was supposed to be this way? Buffalo will stop KC from going to 4 in a row”
But I also think it’s hysterical that people think god cares about sports.
Life is complicated. lol.

He wasn't rushed back since an independent neurologist makes that call.
We’ve had MD’s on this board scratch their head at the NFL clearing athletes to play.
Soccer and hockey have guys miss entire years of games, but there isn’t one player in the NFL who has gotten hit in the head and missed 16+ games. That doesn’t seem strange to you?

I actually hate the bye.
They’ll never cut down to 6 teams so make it 8 teams and zero byes.

Rousseau has 25 sacks in 4 seasons. Much like Ed Oliver, he flashes at times and then disappears for long stretches.Rousseau is pretty good against the run but we need way more out of him and he hasn’t delivered…at least IMO. You don’t build around Greg Rousseau’s. Just like they let Edmunds walk, draft Rousseau’s replacement this spring and let him walk at years end.
He’s Chris Kelsey.-

Josh didn’t get enough push on the short yardage plays? Maybe it’s just the way it was phrased, but that was an offensive line failure, and play caller who didn’t understand what wasn’t working. Josh can’t run through multiple three hundred pound guys.
Also that was a first down. And so was the third down before it.

James Cook on IG Live - "15 mill year" EDIT: Scrubbed his IG and Doubled Down on Twitter
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Bills: "Would you like $11.5M per year?"
Cook: "$20 mil or bust"
Bills: "Enjoy Cleveland"
Don't get me wrong. I prefer Cook stays. But if he is in some hold out stage for $15M+, it would be tough not use him in a trade for somebody like Myles Garret. Would you rather make $30M, play with Josh Allen, and maybe win a SB? Or would you rather make $39M and play for the Cleveland Browns.
