Bleeding Bills Blue

Wonder if we can rent mario's as an Airbnb...

If i'm a STer roster bubble kind of guy. i sign as early as possible. Only so many jobs to go around, and a cheaper pay check is a lot better than no paycheck. Also being at OTAs/mini camps will help you learn a new scheme and make a roster.

I say sign a RT who was cut recently, and focus on cap casualties. Would liek to see some solid 2018 comp picks for losing gilmore, brown, woods, and lorax.

This and everyone's assuming we draft someone at 10 if taylor walks. Possibly a smokescreen....

It wasn't just "letting go of Hogan" though... It was not replacing him. We had a particularly bad rash of injuries at the position (salas, watkins, harvin, listenbee)- but the difference in the 2nd round tender was about a million. We gave a million to harvin who barely played, and another 1.5 to bush who never should have played. When woods was injured, we were left with Hunter who didn't know the playbook. And were using bush in the slot a few times a game. When we could have used that money to just... keep our slot receiver. They also re-signed their other QB... and a veteran backup. So by their method... they'd keep tyrod and still draft someone in the first.

Oh come on - i typed it on mobile!

1.6 vs. 2.5 million on the 2nd round tender... we were tight at the cap, but Goodwin sucked, and so does dez Lewis apparently We also jumped the gun a year... reached for losman instead of ya know... drafting Rodgers a year later.

His replacement had 29... and is a track star/football player We gave harvin and bush 3 million, and skimped out on a 2nd round tender for hogan. He walked and we had no viable replacement. Can that even be argued?

Tyrod was what... our #2 playmaker last year? If you want to upgrade, I'm all for it. But don't tell me starting cardale or some spread offense rookie is going to make the team better. It's fairly unlikely to happen... and you do risk losing a locker room when u cut a team leader over money.

we paid Percy Harding how much?! We signed two street free agents in hunter and Tate, and gave valuable snaps to some guy named Walt Powell... oh, and Goodwin still sucks... our hogan replacement was hurt all year in salas But yeah, we don't need hogan... and Whaley deserves no blame for 7-9.

Sanu got 6.5 AAV last year. I think woods is better, and by sheer % of cap with a cap increase he should get more than him. I'd try to keep him at 6.5, but not at 8. I feel like Tavon Austin's contract throws off the market a bit too, so he might grab a few extra mil right off of that.

Amendola could be a nice addition if he's released. Whaley seems to covet size, so britt or quick could be in the mix. I always like terrance williams in Dallas. Garcon's always been a solid secondary piece who blocks well. Smaller guys? Ginn or Wright could be interesting. On the cheaper end - maybe brice butler? Bring back Hunter and tate? Depends what you're looking for in a receiver.

That's the rumor thats floating around now. That we'll take someone in the first 2 rounds. If we don't add a FA or Romo... it's even more likely that we're drafting one at 10.

I don't think he's good enough in coverage to hang with a lot of the elite TE's in the league, but I think he has some abilities as an edge rusher that might translate to the sam spot. He's a prototypical mike though, he attacks his gaps and hits hard. Honestly it's not a bad problem to have a guy who might fit both. I think his intangibles will translate to what the coaches want to see out of their mike.

Pretty much - would not trade a starting Mike we just drafted for safety help. Doesn't make sense to me.

I think he can probably play Mike, but i'd agree he's better suited to the SAM. He has some edge rushing ability, and would fit nicely next to Shaq lawson. But part of me thinks Ragland making checks and calls would be better than brown, as he was a starting Mike on the best defense in college. So part of me would rather sacrifice some speed/pass rush ability for stronger communication. Ragland also attacks his gaps well and thumps people. New coach/new slate though - so i trust them to find a good spot for him.

He's a UFA after this year - so i'd think if you project a large unaffordable raise you can justify it. IE what the patriots did with chandler jones and jamie collins. But when you see what they acquired for pro bowlers, you realize you might not get much in a trade for a preston brown so it's pointless

Lets get rid of a projected STARTER, at a position with like no depth, who's under a cheap contract for 3 more years, who we traded assets to acquire... for someone who runs a faster 40 or something...

That and he has a hitch in his delivery (like bortles)... Oh and you guys complain about TT missing open receivers. Put on a wentz tape and tell me what you see.... but ooooh hes a rookie! so its ok!

We'd be on the hook for the option bonus but it'd accelerate to this years cap. We would not be responsible for the 2017 base salary guarantee however.

I dunno - why should he? If he walks he'll still get paid pretty handsomely. He'd be the top option on the open market, and is still young. Cousins probably isn't available. Romo requires a trade - so pieces have to move. Brees/Rivers aren't likely to happen. And there are many teams looking for upgrades. SF BUF LAR JAX HOU NYJ DEN CLE ZONA CHI

Great job - now do all the other teams in the league and give me a "real PPG value" so we can compare. Until then this means absolutely nothing.

I feel like we should actually score more in garbage time - but we had playcalls that prohibited us from doing so.

is 25.9 good though?

They're losing fewer players than us... but they have to pay some impact guys. Hightower, sheard, long, Bennett, Branch, blount, and ryan are all UFA. Vollmer is probably gone too. Thats 7 starters... I know they like to plug and play --- see trading collins and chandler jones. But I think they'll hang on to at least a few of them. Butler is also a RFA - so not sure how they'll handle that situation.
