And now they are stuck with butt hurt baker

I can understand that as well.

Glad they have 2 highly paid TEs that they have no idea how to use though. And their Pass rusher who was invisible at the back half of the year seems to be as affective at recruiting as tackling Allen in the open field.

Going to be hard to know true space until Howard, Jones, Miller and Saffold contracts are accounted for (which they are not yet). Even with Milano recent restructure probably need one more 5M savings restructure or Cut to even fit those 4 outstanding contracts still.

I understand all that, but at this point I think it is clear we have a GM that knows how to smartly manipulate it. So If I was fans I would stop worrying about it as a driver for their planning when they look at players. And I will be taking my own advice on this as well. I did not think we would clear space for a premier pass rusher. We did. So know I know Beane WILL in all future as well if he sees a player he wants. And in the typical Beane fashion is will be a Just in time clearance, leaving things alone UNTIL he needs it

Looks like Watson Drama just about done. Going to NFC it looks like

Agree but that is the reality as reported. Money was the same the term wasnt

Milano Restructure finally official @YoloinOhio

And the Reason???? Milano Restructure Official

And had 17M to give to him. So again the money was there, it wasnt like they were trying to do it on the cheap. They just didnt want to do the team. I am guessing Rams was 1 year 17.5M, Miller wanted some term

I will use Daryl Williams as an Example. Signed a New Deal at start of 2021 season. The Structure allowed to Cut this year (pay the Credit card debt (Dead Money)) and still provide Savings. Structuring of contracts also minimize that future credit debt that will come due eventually.

If anything what it SHOULD show to fans. STOP worrying about the Salary Cap. We have a GM that knows how to manage it and manipulate it. An owner that will lay the cash out. ID your players get your player manipulate the cap to fit your players. Stop worrying about the "cap" as fans. Bills just showed, and have shown with Beane it is something they look at but also will not stop them from getting the players they want.

Yeah and not smart for them. New Coach no Viable QB. Why are they kicking cans, this should have been the year to fix their cap. As long as your QB is in place you can keep kicking that can. You lose that QB a smart team resets and settles their debt. Example on a small Scale Bills are tight with STAR but even the structure allows savings even when the Bills comes due on cutting. What also helps limit those future Bills due is as long as WHO you signed to that contract remains productive until minimum the "out year" it remains manageable. Where those future Bills really hurt when they come due is if the player isnt performing and needs to be moved on.

This is such a sneaky good signing. 2020 season popped his Achilles (that is something takes awhile to come back from specially for an athletic guy) 2022 should be back healthy, so lets see if he can find himself again like he was in 2020 before the injury

It is Real. But it very pliable and easily manipulated when you have an owner with CASH. But eventually Bills will come due, the proper management is making sure those Bills come due in years that it is manageable. And Beane has SHOWN that he understands that.

At the end of the Day. This is the Bills Saying We are going to go all in to get that Lombardi. When Trade Deadline comes up Sell off 2023 picks as well to reinforce that goal. WIN the First Lombardi for this Franchise this year. Then look at the team and re-tool as needed for multiple runs and trophies. But GET ONE first that should be the focus this year and do everything to get that FIRST. Watch what it does to the fanbase before your new stadium that will be funded by taxpayers, then adjust focus to get multiple. BUT GET ONE is the goal.

At end of the Day. The SB Trophy is the Goal. And Bills need to get at least one.... Start going all in. I am happy with it. Trade Deadline make trades that help that GOAL to win one (Like Rams) get us one, and wait and see what happens to this Fan Base. Then re-adjust to gain mulitple.

Some of these Levers May have already been pulled and just not made official yet. But here are areas still that could work to free up space. 1. Tremaine Edmunds - Extension can save roughly 3-5M this year. Trade or Cut saves 12.7M 2. Stefon Diggs - Extension can save up to 9M this year 3. Tre White - base to bonus can save up to 6M likely 4. Dion Dawkins - save likely about 6M in a base to bonus restructure 5. Matt Milano - Can save 4M roughly base to bonus. 6. Star Lotulelei - Can save 4.1M in a post June 1 designation (relief doesnt happen to June 1 though) 7. Jordan Poyer Extension - Can save roughly 4M on an extension 8. Cole Beasley - Saves roughly 3M on a pay cut, 6.1M on trade or release So that is roughly 35M still in easy cap space to get back

He knows he logged his best football in this defense. It is a good team to come to reset your career and maybe get your ring before hitting the market again for another payday.

Beasley has 3 days to take the pay cut, find a trade partner or be cut. That is the reality with him.
