This is AMERICA and in this country that man is a MEDIUM and we expect him to be treated as such.

Really drives home the point that white collar crime is the way to go. Rob a bank and you’re getting caught and going away for decades. Embezzle from the same bank and they’ll fire you, but otherwise sweep it under the rug to keep it out of the media. Can’t spook customers or, more importantly, investors.

Yeah, in the last CBA the players effectively gave up their ability to hold out. The only times you’ll see something like that now is when a player gets tagged and holds off on signing the contract. Maybe once in a blue moon a player will opt to retire to force a trade, like Carson Palmer had to do to get out of Cincy.

Spotrac has every Bills player listed twice so their cash and cap totals are currently doubled. I’m sure it will get cleaned up soon.

Dawkins first to be sure, but they’ll need more than that. IMO Jones only gets cut if he’s totally cooked. He is a vested vet so if he’s here through week one then his whole season’s salary is guaranteed. It’s a tough cut with the rookies and O-gun on a six week suspension. Not that O was really any better than Jones last season. I think they keep Jones this one last season and hope for the best. That’s certainly not optimal, but I don’t see much in the way of other options at this point either.

Doubling a team’s roster is a mistake that happens regularly on Spotrac. I would guess that it has to do with an automatic update. Guessing Dawkins and Knox restructures are what will happen. That’ll give them enough to get through the season. Also of important note this season the Bills are currently second in cash spending. They had been spending in the too 5 or 10 for a few seasons - certainly a good clip - but dropped way back to the mid 20s last season. Good to see that they ramped it back up.

They probably don’t have info on a restructured contract yet. Sometimes it takes a few days to get out to them. OTC is the most accurate source for cap info by the way. If there’s a discrepancy between them and Spotrac, go with OTC’s info and analysis.

I have always been kind of a numbers guy.

Not all of our draft picks are signed yet.

Reconciliation of bonuses would be included in cap adjustments and be reflected in the team’s adjusted cap number.

I feel like an incentive based contract with the Eagles is forthcoming.

I’m leaving out the RBs, but here are the TEs and WRs that matter listed alphabetically: Coleman Kincaid Knox Moore Palmer Samuel Shakir I’m honestly interested in what people think. I’d put Shakir first, but not by a wide margin. 2-7 could go in almost any order IMO.

Daboll isn’t here anymore so I’d wager his return depends on whether or not Josh goes to bat for him.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/47723/gabriel-davis 2025 Option bonus and salary, which is almost his entire compensation package for 2025, is guaranteed. The Jags paid/are paying $24M for 11 weeks of Gabe Davis. Wow. Wonder if the Jags insured him.

agreed. 5% body fat is unhealthy. Even athletes who get down to that level rarely stay there for long.

Bosa. He’s either going to be almost our entire outside pass rush or injured. 🤞

Guessing it was injury. He is a good receiver, but I just don’t know that he will hold up in the NFL. If he can’t ever be inline - and I don’t think he will - then he is a TE2. Nothing wrong with that except where we drafted him. Maybe not forgive, but he will get shuffled behind a lot of other goats as time passes. Right now it was the last important thing that happened in a Bills game. Give people time. Personally, I think there’s a lot of blame to go around and much of it goes on the coaches. It was a rough play for Kincaid, but wouldn’t single him out as why we lost.

I don’t have anything against Kincaid, I just always saw him effectively as a WR, not a TE. He doesn’t have the build and he is not a good blocker so, yeah, WR. More specifically he is a Slot WR and we seem to have a glut at SWR so I could see him getting moved too. Kinda tough to see the Bills giving him a second contract as it stands so they may as well get something in trade next offseason. That all assumes that he doesn’t light it up this season, but it’s tough to see that happening with so many to spread targets to. We will have to wait and see.

Bills fans have “never forgiven him”? It’s been a little over 3 months.

I always laughed when I saw people get excited about playing more 12 Personnel after Kincaid got drafted. If he’s one of your TEs, then you are still in 11.

Just keep in mind that RAS is calculated using only the data available. Anything missing isn’t factored in. For example, Jackson didn’t do the 3 cone or 20 yard shuttle drills so his agility isn’t part of his RAS score. Obviously agents want players to maximize their players’ scores so they would tell them to avoid any testing that would lower it substantially. The other popular tactic is to split up different measurements. For example, put on some weight for the combine but run the 40 and other agility drills at the pro day (after they shed that extra weight).

That’s true, but his crappy kicking last year made the decision to move on from him easy.

He sucked last season and he’ll be 36 this year.

Didn’t Vrabel manage to coach the Titans to a #1 seed with Ryan Tannehill at QB? His teams were tough, disciplined, played very good defense, ran the ball very well (with Derrick Henry) and made the most of their limited QB. They did extremely well in the regular season, but couldn’t win in the postseason at all. I always wondered how Vrabel would do with a quality QB. I suspect he will do very well, but certainly wanted to see that happen in the NFC, not the AFCE.

They made their decisions on what to spend on
