No, if they are restructured. The savings is how much lower their cap hit would be this year than if we left the deal as is (restructuring is just kicking the money down the timeline, it'll be accounted for eventually). You are correct in your belief.
Bills 10th overall pick is worth 1,300
Oaklands R1:24, R2:24, R3:24, and R4:23 are worth a combined 1,272 (740+340+150+42).
I say we eat the 28 points and take their first 4 picks
Casserly Mock 2.0 is out post-combine.
Bills take Mike Williams at 10 and Trade up to 31 to take Deshone Kizer
No QBs in the top 10 (SF Trades #2 for Cousins)
He also has us keeping Tyrod in this scenario, so Kizer wouldn't have to start immediately if he needed time.
I think ZBrown will be about $1M more than that, but I also think you went conservative on the draft pick allotment unless we trade back. I suspect the draft picks that effect the cap will total $4.75-5M (rounds 1-3).
It's the 11th. If I understand it all correctly, the 9th is the start of the league year and Tyrod's bonus hits on the 3rd day (12th), so we need to know what we're doing with him by the 11th.
It's not a leap. Everyone knows if Tyrod's on your roster at his current deal that it's against league rules to even scout, let alone draft, another QB. I'm pretty sure I've deduced that from this board, anyway.
