Slow Joe Haden.... I would worry about him and his declining athleticism, Bills have done this aging Vet thing every year and every year they miss. Look Steeler instead of bringing Haden Back signed Wallace.

Is it me or does this UFA period for almost all teams to be extremely slow. I wonder if it has to be that there is a fundamental shift amongst teams on UFA, and coming out of the COVID years CAP, if that has damped this UFA period. Just seems to be moving much slowly in terms of signings like the second phase of UFA started on the league year and the players are just not seeing the market they thought they would see.

Bills now have 4.6M in space (Mancz, Lawson, Lee, Phillips, Johnson, Crowder and Barkely not accounted for) - Keenum is and his new Contract of 3.5M Also Bills currently sitting at 61 players (8 draft picks left) Right now the next contract to fall off the top 51 is Nick McCloud (825K) 8 picks has Brandon Bryant (895K falling off) so a 4th round pick will cost 5K increase on the cap, Third round will count 65K increase, 2nd round pick is about 300K increase. People really need to remember each player added is discounted right now by the contract it pushes off the top 51. Using Keenum for example. 3.5M cap hit. Pushed off Capra's (705K) so Keenum was only a 2.8M INCREASE against the 2022 cap Big Tickets left to open the most cap space Diggs - Extension Poyer - Extension Tre White - Restructure Dion Dawkins - Restructure Edmunds - Trade or Extension Still likely needed Swing OT - I doubt they feel comfortable with Doyle in that role right now UFA Bryan Bulaga (33) Eric Fisher (31) Daryl Williams (29) Zach Banner (28) Germain Ifedi (27) Cornelius Lucas (30) CB (need one, maybe 2. Right now it is Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis starting outside) - Tre likely gone for 6 weeks to start doubt plan is the unknown of what rookie falls to you in the draft. UFA Stephon Gilmore (31) Joe Haden (32) Kyle Fuller (30) Patrick Peterson (31) Tavon Young (28) Kevin King (26) - probably more of a nickel Jimmy Smith (33) AJ Bouye (30) Steven Nelson (29) Mike Hughes (25) Mackensie Alexander (28) Dontae Johnson (30) TRADE Bradberry

Current player breakout is 30 on the Defense 26 on Offense (including Mancz) 3 on Teams. Look for the remaining signings (Moves) going into the draft to be on the offensive side. I am not worried about Injuries anymore with the Bills facilities and player management and sport science department they have been one of the lowest Injured teams since McD has been here.

And with Capra falling off the top 51 (705K) the real increase to the cap is 2.795M

Bills now have 4.6M in space (Mancz, Lawson, Lee, Phillips not accounted for) - Keenum is and his new Contract of 3.5M Still likely needed RB - Based off the McKissic stuff WR3/4 - Depends on how you feel with McKenzie or Stevenson (Hodgins Gentry) in the slot. - I think they will add a vet before the Draft though Swing OT - I doubt they feel comfortable with Doyle in that role right now CB (need one, maybe 2. Right now it is Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis starting outside) - Tre likely gone for 6 weeks to start doubt plan is the unknown of what rookie falls to you in the draft.

If anything it tells me more that Bates will be staying and is being projected as a Starting OG. So that BU Swing Interior is needed.

Just to the smart thing Indy sign Mariotta and Take a Rookie.

First round picks should skip all underwear drills. Only ends up bad. Go for the interviews and medical and nothing more. let your tape do the talking.

Like this better than Barkley and Fitz. Another hole pre draft Filled

He is processing the responses to his water on toothbrush before or after toothpaste question.

Go look at JAX guaranteed Money spent so far it is approaching 200M. (Essentially cash). They will be on the hook for 200M in guaranteed money this year. Plus the salaries. That are coming in the season. So when you add guarantees and the signing bonuses and base salaries they are well well above the CAP this year. But hundreds of Millions. What about Rogers and Packer and Adams. it was never about money. Adams told GB he will never play on the Tag. It was more about the relationship between player and team than it was the cap

Bonuses. So yeah it does happen. Just look how much Guaranteed Money JAX gave out so far in UFA. Then add in their cap. They would have spent roughly 350M on players by the end of this year.

So since McKissic went back to DC. And then Fournette starting to be linked in rumors I started thinking and looking at history. So Bills have made it seem a habit that they will get players they targeted at trade deadlines. Diggs - acquired next offseason Trade Sanders - Signed UFA Miller - Signed UFA lesser Saffold - tried to sign him one UFA period. so I was looking around. There are reports of the Bills tried to Trade for Melvin Gordon in past. Tried to sign him in the past. could that be the RB and not Fournette (as all the rumors have been wrong on player but right on position).

They could have designated him a post June 1. He is free to sign immediately bills would have gotten 4.2 in space June 2. There is something that caused them to do this with normal designation freeing up 1.5M now. but not wanting to carry dead money into 2023 with Allen’s increase makes sense as well.

Then the National guys are wrong. thanks for the info.

Not according to SPOTRAC. Or this write up. Total CAP hit is 2022.

But that is weird because it is still tampering up until the negotiation window. So this is the first time ever I have seen a contract written about this way that doesn’t have a Void Year attached to it.

Lol look at the 23 Trigger weird because there is no void year. So is that the normal day contracts expire?? Or are Bills letting him hit the market early??
