Yeah do OTs not protect the QB against these high priced DEs???!

Still a BU and won’t see the 12.5

Back up Money in normal years.

Comp Pick

Seems KC doesn’t care do they cutting BOTH their DEs and paying mega money to a OG.

Hope they like catching one hoppers from Cam

Except at DE. They typically have re-signed there in years past Suggs to name one. That is one team though. To be honest edge sucks in this draft. IDL is even worse.

It kind of confirms to me what I have been thinking for the last couple years. DEs are becoming less and less vital in the pass rush and interior pass rush is Uber important anymore. I have felt watching games over the past couple years these quick strike offenses have effectively schemed the High Paid DE out of making major impacts. I mean heck even the likes of Big Ben who used to hold the ball forever is getting it out in 2.5 seconds or less. makes me wonder if this is the trend and I think Ravens, the most analytical team in NFL, is seeing it as well. I think anymore with the way offenses are pressure is going to come from scheme more than that top end 20M AAV DE.

Draft one. Notice Ravens are one of the most if not the most Analytical Football team in the NFL and they would not pay either of their pass rushers. offenses today make paying Huge money to DEs the wrong move.

Comp Pick

The same article says based on revenue the true cap should be 160M. Anything over that is borrowing against future caps. others have said it should be as low as 150M based on the actual revenue this year.

This is why it will still go up. But don’t expect a significant jump as they borrowed around 27.5M per team from future Cap “Multiple agents told Packer Central that they expect the owners and players union to agree to borrow against future caps to “smooth over” the difference between the potential for a dramatically decreased cap in 2021 and dramatically increased caps in the future.” so look for it to go on its normal 10M jump per year until that borrower cap is paid back. https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/ny-nfl-salary-cap-20210220-vzny3dynmnd3nkafna5diavvfy-story.html Plus, as ESPN reported, the decreased 2020 revenue numbers in a normal year would have set the 2021 cap at around $160 million. So any difference between that number and the 2021 cap will have to be borrowed against the 2022 and 2023 cap limits in a “2021 COVID True-Up,” per the terms of the NFL’s side-letter agreement with the players’ union. So any cap number higher than that $180 million floor will require more money sliced off the cap in upcoming years.

Nope

Good now I can’t stop reading about people wanting to overpay a RB.

Ummm again I bet it isn’t. Players owe between 25-30M per team back to NFL. You really think the Owners won’t get that money back lol.

Not really Players Still have to give the money back that was “borrowed” to set the floor of 182.5M. Well over what the cap should be. so let’s say the new number next year calls for a 30M increase. That would be an increase to 150M where it should be set now. Meaning a 2.5M increase in 2022 only. Still not accounting for the players Borrower Money of 27M per team. So a 30M spike only would move the cap 3M is the owners said well we are taking that payback in full in 2022. Likely won’t. I suspect a 5-10m reduction of where the cap should be every year until that 27M is paid back.

Cap isn’t going up that much. Players have to still give back roughly 27.5M per team. The Cap this year based on Revenue should be 150 - 155M per team. They set the floor where they set it. Now part of that will be getting that player money back in the next couple years. 3 years IMO before you see the cap back to growing majorly.

No UFA is setting up as no major holes going into the draft. Drafting the best football player available in each round. Draft - Develop - Re-Sign or take the Comp Pick. Rinse and repeat. Once Josh get his deal that is how the Bills are going forward.

Pretty close to his value as well. I said a 8M AVV is what he is worth and was laughed at by many saying if I didn’t come with 12 he walks.

I am ok with those contract numbers.

I like taking WRs in every draft as well. Even deeper in the draft Elite WRs can be found late proven over and over again. Heck even someone like a Stevie Johnson was tremendous value for a 7th. Colston etc etc. I think with our current WR group I dont see a 1st or 2nd used in the position this year, but some late round steals I am good with. I am one that thinks you should take a WR and a CB in every draft

Agree his INJ have concerned me, but last year there was no lingering effects for the most part. Those injuries though are the reason I almost went with Everett or Smith instead and why I mentioned it might be better signing one of them while letting everyone else battle over the big fish (Henry)

I get it in terms of one persons valuation. I am fine letting him walk then his play isnt over 10M a year play. Just my feeling I have been pretty good at gauging the OL market since Incognito was here. IF I am getting into the Double Digits with Williams I am going to sign Moton or get one of the premier LTs and move Dawkins at that point. But I also know I dont run the Bills and they tend to not do what I call for in some of these, but I try to see how they built a specific Position Group and stay with that philosophy for the most part and add my flair. I just dont think the OL is as good (specially on the Right) as Josh made them seem.
