Simply they are taking cap from this year and moving it to future years.
You can do this with base salary by turning it into a bonus payment.
Im surprised they didn’t do an extension, but that can still happen.
So is it as much a restructure as it is adding a void year? I guess I am being pedantic. Still seems strange though.

Feels like they could have saved even more with an extension.
This is what I thought would happen. And on top of that I don't get how a restructure changes the cap number for a player in the final year of his contract.

Can somebody explain to me how a restructure works in the last year of a players contract?

You could have just spelled Sean Payton right the first time and your pun would have worked the first time.

I think this is basically Mangas but a different title. My guess is Shula was given a senior title due to age and experience.
I checked the teams coaching page on the wayback machine and Daboll did not have a Senior Offensive Assistant or Offensive Quality Control coach.
Pretty sure these are generic titles to get guys they like in house, working, and developing. The defense has had a few similar roles that have sporadically come and gone as they bring guys in and out of the fold. Similar to Dorsey, Brady is a young dude who will need a good team around him to help shepherd him into the role. -

Splitting hairs but actually $1.433M in space saved because we're doing it before March 15. Also we avoid having to take on a $2.567M dead cap hit in 2025 when we inevitably would have released him next offseason.
Still I don't think this has anything to do with cap space. Ryan Poles just weirdly has a hard on for Ryan Bates so we are happily accepting his overpay.
I’m an idiot and misread it. Thanks for the correction.

Creates 2 things. Cap space (anyone know how much). And the extra pick which tells me they may be more inclined to trade up for one of the WRs. I can hope
$930k in space saved
This means Morse isn’t going anywhere which was speculated either this year or next. Also means his replacement isn’t on the roster.
This has to be for draft currency. Otherwise I don’t love it on its own.

First, I like any man whose name rhymes with "shindig." Second, I have no idea what "chartreuse" is.
I could not get passed that. Why not say "bright green"?

I don't think it dilutes anything. Often times I think players need more time in college to develop and there is no minor league in football. If anything any reason to stay in college a little longer likely helps the NFL in the long run. This should mean that more players are pro ready on draft day.

Per Alaina Getzenberg, one of the complaints from the survey is that staff gets priority in airplane seating, leaving the biggest dudes (players) in coach-size seats. (Which seems like a very legit beef to me.) So I guess McDermott is indeed very comfortable, with his 5'9" self relaxing luxuriously in first class. 😆That is kind of bonkers. Very bonkers.
If I were the org I would likely switch to United just because they have much larger premier seating sections than Delta. United has planes with 60 Polaris seats (like full on lay down) That is enough for the 53 plus, HC, OC, DC, Beane, and Terry. Then business class has enough for everybody on the PS to have 2 seats (36 total seats). Plus enough coach seats for everybody else to get their own row.
You don't need it every game. But anything in CA, WA, AZ, or over seas seems like a super worthy investment at the very least. I honestly have no idea how much more it would cost for them compared to their current cost, but I would imagine it is fairly affordable for a guy in oil and gas with two professional sports franchises. O/G aside, both franchises are estimated to be worth a combined $5B.https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/company/aircraft/boeing-777-300er.html

The Steelers have basically been good for 30 years because top down it's ran well
Every single person who has knowledge of how NFL teams work all say the bills are one of the best run teams in the NFL set up to succeed for a long time
Sure will probably never get Josh Allen again.. the Packers went from favre to Rogers to love
The bills being a good organization could absolutely develop a solid quarterback
It's everybody from the pro personnel department, to the scouts, to the assistance
Everything
I agree with all of that. I credit Brandon Beane not Terry Pegula.
It is rare that NFL executives are given a long enough leash to work through multiple QB era’s. There are certainly examples though. Pittsburgh and Baltimore being two.
I am saying that if the Bills move on in the post Josh Allen era, the team is likely to spiral with Terry Pegula at the helm.

I'm still very curious as to what caused the break up between them. Normally people don’t go that long (10 years) as a couple without getting married, or maybe just staying together forever without marrying. Most couples don’t take 10 years to figure out that they're not right for each other.
This thread and the article are click bait.
The article was such trash that I actually pulled up the podcast and had it on one while I worked. Neither her nor the host of the show mention Josh Allen's name once.
Britt Will doesn't have much of a social media following. At least not enough to be living in a high rise off of 5th ave. like she does. Between her monetized accounts on TikTok, Youtube, and IG she has less than 250k followers. That isn't enough. You can almost guarantee that she has a really large NDA that allows her to live the life she is and why she doesn't even speak JA17's name when being interviewed.
Most easy break ups don't end that tight lipped with such nice apartments. Filling in the empty space between then and now will likely never be able to be verified. -

imagine getting a 10 year loan with interest to buy football tickets
Imagine getting a 10 year loan, with interest, to buy football tickets, to watch a game in a stadium paid for with mostly public money.....
I don't love the public subsidy of billionaires in general. But if you are going to do it it should have more public benefit than it does. Owners shouldn't be able to take public subsidy then profit from PSL's. Build your own stadium and charge whatever you want for tickets, broadcasts, streaming services, etc.6 minutes ago, Process said:Once Allen retires we won't be able to make fun of Jacksonville/LA anymore. Place is going to be half empty in November/December. IMO.
Once Allen retires and their is the inevitable regime change from McBeane there is a real risk of the Bills circling the drain much like the Sabres.
The Buffalo Bills are built in Brandon Beane's and Sean McDermott's image. Full stop. The Buffalo Sabres are, and have been built in Terry Pegula's image.-

If we let go of Douglas this staff is outright ridiculous. He was our best defender down the stretch last year. And it wasn’t even close.
This. Assuming they release and not trade him I would mostly be bummed that we would have another top 100-ish draft pick that doesn't get utilized on a cash strapped team that needs to get cheaper.
We could really use that 3rd this year.-

I don't agree on the first point I just don't think that is who Beane is. I think he would be much more careful than that and I remember that press conference well he looked genuinely crestfallen. I suspect what he based that on is a further conversation with Matt where he changed his story somewhat from earlier versions he had told the Bills once the material was in the public domain.
I agree completely on your second point but unfortunately I fear the genie is out of the bottle and won't go back. Social media mob culture is here to stay.
If memory serves correct on this there were a lot of inconsistencies from Araiza to the team. From not telling the team at all, to only giving parts of the story, to lying about sexual contact, etc. until it was found out they did have sex outside the apartment.
I am not sure there was much of any chance that public institution to keep Araiza even if he managed it perfectly. But Araiza made sure that a slim chance was rounded all the way to zero.-

He may not get flack for it from the networks like ESPN but you can sure bet he gets the questions of WTH is your nephew thinking, or when ever he's around friends that know him & his family instead of just normal conversation it will or can gravitate to his nephews stupidity .
Jim's friends aren't asking him too many heavy hitting questions about this assuming that they were around during his tenure as an NFL QB where he was notoriously terrible to women and the people of this town.
His family? I don't know. Say may nephew gets arrested for robbing a convenience store. or fails Spanish, or whatever. Me and my family talk about it. This is life. Not some special Jim Kelly/NFL QB plight.I would posit that if Kelly gets asked about it more than other normies or NFL QB's it is in part due to the fact that they seem to be cut from very very similar cloths

Well as the old southern saying goes - "If your gonna be dum you gotta be tough" This kid is definitely tough !
Will he ever learn that everything he does will be looked at under a microscope, it's really a shame because of the talent that he has . Just sad .
And the worst part of it all is that Jim will get flack or questions just because his nephew is a DA ...
Chad Kelly's issues have absolutely zero to do with notoriety and everything to do with being a grade A ash hole.

They were trying to be competitive in 2023. The Bills had (and still have) a large amount of cap tied up in unproductive defenders. This - and several other contracts - were their work around to mitigate some of that.
In general, it is advantageous to kick the can down the road as long as the cap rises. Every cap dollar kicked into a future year is discounted by the percentage the cap has increased. If a team staggers parting ways with high contract players, then they can structure contracts like this indefinitely. Unfortunately the Bills have a logjam of such players.
It is weird to me that this is even a thread or at least a thread that has gone on for 6 pages.... A lot of teams use dead years. This isn't uncommon, especially for a team that is pressing up against the cap.
Not to mention the question answers itself. The Bills had $2.2M of cap space mid season to navigate any injuries or additional signings. Floyds $4.3M is more than $2.2M. We didn't have the space to eat his contract this year.
However I do believe that if they extend him they can kick that money down the road as part of the new contract but they cannot make it go away. I would have to defer to some of the better capologists on that one.-

I like McD. I think his career will land him in the Hall of Very Good even if he doesn't lift the Lombardi as HC.
That said, if Shanahan becomes available you hand him a blank check.SF moving on would be so dumb. Shanahan has brought that team to the last 4 Conference Championships. His SB loses are to the greatest HC/QB combo's the league has ever seen in Brady/Bill and Mahomes/Reid. He is more or less the 3rd best HC in the league. 2nd now that Bill is gone.

This post is hysterical.
“Tre White is a JAG except for a few above average seasons.”
Well, let’s see:
Tre has only 7 seasons in the NFL.
He has been hurt and missed large portions of 3 of them. And as you said “injuries aside.”
So, looking at the other 4:
Second in DROY voting
Fifth in DPOY voting
First team All Pro
Second team All Pro
2x ProBowl.
A JAG when he wasn’t an All-Pro. Got it.
These troll attempts are so low effort.
So much venom in this thread. It is odd.
I wish some of these guys would stop kicking their dogs and at the very least unleash some of that emotion on the Pegula run Sabres and Kevyn Adams.

They game is so physical I don't need a regular season change. If the league wants to increase the importance of kickers since taking it away they could go to a "kickoff" for the regular season. Start at 35 yards in 5 yard increments until you get to 55, then 2 yards at a time. Again, this is regular season only. I don't love the idea, but it is certainly an option if they don't want tie's and want to limit OT wear and tear.
But for the playoffs the college rules would be my preference. Followed closely by adding another a full quarter rather than possessions.-

It is tough man. He is really really really good. He has certainly blown some moments.
But the only guys to beat Shanahan in the SB are Belichick and Reid. And the only QB's are Brady and Mahomes. That group of 4 guys will go down as the best QB's and HC's in the history of the NFL.
That said, it is easy for me to say that. Shanahan isn't my coach or even a coach in my division. Likely frustrating for the 49'er fans.
At the same time I just don't know who you replace him with who is so much better than Shanny that beating Bill/Brady or Andy/Pat is an absolute slam dunk.
Morse Released
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I’m a bit shocked at this one. I thought releasing Bates meant Morse was a lock.
I am no guru if feels like Bates to center and keeping McGovern at guard may have been the better option over signing Edward’s.
