    Knox "Reworks" Deal Frees Cap

    I don’t really understand Von and Knox taking pay cuts. What leverage do the Bills have in this scenarios? They can’t really cut these guys due to the dead cap. Why do the players say yes?

    I think we all focus on cap figures because we care about team composition, but a lot of that money is already paid out up front to these players.

     

    The players are interested in receiving as much cash earnings going forward as possible, whether by a new increase in bonus/upfront cash to be amortized down the road, or just remaining on the team to collect base salary amounts. Their ability to receive new guaranteed money from other teams influences their leverage. When play has declined, they become more amicable to altering the terms 

     

    Their dead cap number doesn't mean all that much to them is my understanding. That's all old news (old money) to them

    Like it or not Jackson has 2 MVPs, which should put him at the top of the group. Now, I still don't think he's an elite passer, which keeps him in line with those that are, but there's no credible argument to put Allen above hima t this point. The only limited argument you'd have for Burrow is 1 Sb appearance, and I'm not sure that does it either.

    I think having eyes would be the main justification

    I contend that this team's problem isn't coaching, it's talent.

    The Ravens will never win a SB with Lamar Jackson. He is not a high end enough passer to win a title 

    Would have been competitive a decade or so ago. I'm not sure it's possible to just ride a defense to a Superbowl any more unless there is a large regression in the passing game. Even undead 70 year old Tom Brady offered more than Lamar is here

    The Chiefs have 17 at halftime against the best defense in the league.  This is starting to look like a beat down. Ravens should fire Harbaugh, I guess. He has thrown away two MVP Lamar seasons in the last five years. 

    The Ravens can't possess the ball against a good defense like the Chiefs have. Lamar's track record is pretty much the QB edition of the McDermott show in the playoffs.

     

    The Bills offense dominated time of possession and the defense couldn't even slow down the next Chiefs touchdown to the point where it would take more than 3 minutes. How many times did they even get to 3rd down? It's not comparable

    I don’t know… watching this Ravens/Chiefs game. We were an even somewhat healthy defense away from being the AFC champs. The Ravens look like inferior team here, at home, and it’s not really close. 

    I have no confidence in the McDermott playoff defense against a good coach & QB even if everybody was healthy. I sympathize this year with the depletion and in isolation I think it would be perfectly acceptable to have a bad defensive performance, but they've been gutted with little resistance every time they've played Mahomes/Burrow in January for nearly half a decade now

    The Hydes appear to be saying goodbye

    Not For Long League is always difficult. Have to enjoy the elite positional groups while it lasts. I still miss that line with Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, rookie contract Dareus and Jerry Hughes. 

     

    Going to be really difficult when it's time for Josh to cross the bridge.

    I am not happy with this regime and obviously this move did not work out, but the process made sense. They came to the conclusion that the only way to beat Mahomes is to sack him…play coverage and rush 4…that was the plan and it failed because Von got hurt. So here we are. That is still likely the way to beat him. 
     

    That off season the best offensive free agents on the market were Christian Kirk, Allen Robinson and Evan Engram. 
    Kirk has been really good when healthy and Engram has been excellent. Allegedly we were in on those guys and they went to Jacksonville. Robinson was a big bust who got cut after one year. 
     

    So again, signing an elite pass rusher coming off a Super Bowl win made a ton of sense at the time, it just hasn’t worked out because of the injury. 

    May have gotten hurt, in part, because he's 100 years old
