  1. What # are we thinking? Fornerly 10 (Shakir) as he entered the league, he returned to 4 (Cook) last season, which is what he wore at Ohio State. Any guesses?
  2. I was actually referring to the cap hits over the next three years. Its a big chunk of change, but he is a good player and the anchor on the OL. Let’s hope his health and level of production stay steady. At almost 30 with another 4 years pretty much invested in him, he’s out guy. I think he’s earned it but was just taken aback a bit by the cap hit distribution. actually on further review it looks like they could get out of it after 2026 relatively cheap. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/dion-dawkins-21805/
  3. Anything more than this is an over investment.
  4. So based on these numbers, and dependent on the Morrow and Hollins deals, they could in theory still have room for another semi-costly piece and still have room for rooks. The problem is this can’t happen until post June 1 so barring another release or restructure, I am assuming things have shifted towards the draft at OBD. Maybe Mike Williams hangs out until late summer (a la Hopkins last year) and signs a prove-it deal to try and re-establish himself as potential WR1 demonstrating health and ability. Williams - 1 year, 10 million dollars with two void years. Fully guaranteed. Cap Hits as follows: 2024 - 4 mil 2025 - 3 mil 2026 - 3 mil Passing the money down the line gives them the space they need to bring in a key player now, spreading the money into years they are currently a bit more flexible. Additionally, if it were to work out an extension would essentially tear up those void years.
  5. And the other 8 states? They want; a hippopotamus for Christmas? candy? it that a way? to know what love it? to break free?
  6. Appreciate the write up! Beane isn’t done. They’ll like be adding 2-3 more FA level players to compete IMO. 11 picks could definitely end up being 6-7 guys, possibly more. This year could be a “fish with dynamite” draft. And we may count on (semi) house hold names such as Eli Ankou to make the roster (ala Kingsley Jonathan). The reality is they can no longer fill in the back end of the roster with guys via FA at a few mil a pop (i.e. Matekavich, Neal, etc) and will have to settle with youngins off the street or roll with late picks. it’s the way of the world when you pay elite money to your top players.
  7. Well the way FA has gone has me shifted a bit on my early round expectations. With a lot of decent vets no longer available, I am leaning towards hoping to see two early round WRs
  8. Idk how accurate it is but I get all my content from twobillsdrive.com 🫡
  9. I am okay with this for a few reasons. Everyone is banging the drum for WR1 right now, when in reality, we are desperate for it. Taking a very good talent early in the second that has the potential to be a long term #2 WR (even if it’s a slot type guy) is still a solid addition. If that’s the case, I fully expect WR to be in play in round 1 in 2025. There is no reason the bills can’t approach this with the Higgins/Chase plan the Bengals followed a few years ago. A fair point. I do think a guy like this has the physical traits to dominate in certain circumstances. The lack of production and age has me thinking he’s worth more of a RD2 investment
  10. This is referring to the “top 51” rule. Prior to the Final Cut down day, teams salary cap figures are calculated by the top 51 salaries. Are you mentioned, guys signing for less than a mill, likely aren’t breaking into that top 51. Yea, they still get paid, but at the end of the day, they won’t count against the cap until the regular season starts at which point all 53 must be under the cap. This gives Beane all summer to continue to work and maneuver as needed. Im still expecting 1 or 2 extensions, but bare minimum, they are fine.
  11. Wished they went with rooks but hard to know the specifics of the $$$. Hoping the vet presence is worth the cost and if it isn’t, we can get out from under it easily.
