You know what, fellow fans?
We've got us a pretty solid GM. Today was a bit of a master class...

I’ve always had a vision of the 90s HOFers all being there when we finally win it all, and celebrating with the current team. Next year in NOLA, party on Bourbon Street?I didn't realize it was in NOLA next year! That's a bucket list city for me. If we make it, I'm goin'.....

Gotta have about 10 million in room for rookies and a few million in season funds for injury. If the Bills want to be able to be players in free agency even at a lower level they have to probably have to go into free agency with 35-40 million in space or at least 30 million in space.There is no doubt they are restructuring Josh but then I am not sure where they can find additional funds. Extending Dawkins seems likely he’s 29 and coming off a great season and at a position that ages well that should free up anywhere from 5-8 million in additional cap space.
They can also restructure Knox for 3 million in space and I think Taron Johnson’s deal can be extended to free up a few million.
If they do all 3 moves (Restructure Knox and extend Dawkins and Johnson) after restructuring Josh they should have anywhere between 30-35 million in space which should give them about 15-20 million to play with.
The only other move is the restructure or rework Diggs deal. A restructure would free up 13 million in space which would catapult the Bills cap space deep into the 40’s but also make Diggs contract harder to get out of in the future and given that he will be 31 this upcoming season and is coming off a slow end to his season the Bills may want to have an out sooner than later.
But if they can get Diggs to do what Von did somehow and get him to free up some 8-10 million in space it would make a huge difference to how they can approach free agency
It might be a little risky w/ Diggs - but man, he started out the season in peak form. I still think he was more hampered by injury then he or anyone let on.
I still think he can play at a high level for 3-4 more years.

We missed him against KC.
He's a solid player, and still pretty young. Good w/ this.

Wasn't he picked ahead of Mahomes?
He's gotta be good...-

This is the opposing fan sentiment.
But we know better here. This team just got younger & faster. If Beane hits on 3-4 picks in this draft, we'll be as good as anyone in the AFC.

Maybe I'm crazy to think this but I don't think these cuts move the needle much for me in the terms of Bills win/loss for 24-25. Maybe you go from 11-6 to 10-7 but even that I think might be a stretch.
Morse is the only impactful one of the bunch.
Just checking around the internet, the general sentiment is that our window is now officially closed.
I agree w/ you. Tre hardly played for us the last couple of years. Hyde & Poyer were kind of starting to hurt us in terms of speed in the secondary.
If Beane nails the draft & we can stay kind of healthy (admittedly, 2 big "ifs), we might even be better heading into '24.

We may be the youngest team in the league come September.
This is a soft rebuild - but I don't think that takes us out of contention this year. Health is going to be even more important than usual if we want to make a run at the end.

We have quite a few late rounders. I'm sure some will be trade fodder, but hopefully we draft a punter too.

It hurts that his last moments on the field for the Bills were getting carted away w/ a towel over his head.
Thank you, Tre. Never gave less than everything he had.

Miller will probably be next year.
Hopefully he can regain some of his form this season. Even a 6-7 sack season would be great.

Anxiously awaiting one of our cap/math wizards to give us a new total w/ the flurry of moves today....

Surprised in light of the Bates trade. O-Line had been playing well--- now two big holes. Have some in-house guys, but seems like a step back on a unit that had looked good.
I'm bummed that we couldn't keep the line together, since it's the best we've had yet.
But if McGovern can be effective at center, we should be solid.

I can't keep up!
This is the only one I actually expected, though...

In one day, we went from an aging team to pretty spritely.

As much as this franchise hates playing young guys, they really have no choice but to start getting younger on the roster.
The coaching staff has to lose that philosophy, now that Allen's contract is kicking in.
This team has to draft well, an play many of those draft picks sooner than they'd like to.
-
When the Bills win a title, there are players I'm going to think about w/ gratitude, and wishing that they could have achieved that goal while they were on the team.
Hyde & Poyer top that list. They helped give the Bills D a fierce identity, and were always a joy to watch. I wish both guys the best.

I think we get a 1st rounder, and either Boyd or Bourne. And that'd be just fine.
I'd rather trade up in the 1st round for a better prospect than trade for one of these guys & their larger contracts.

Seems like a really good dude. Glad he got a ring.
Unpopular opinion, but I like his brother too.

Anyone see that story that Burrow's wrist injury is much worse than they originally thought?
-
The coaching staff is probably best at developing players at CB and Safety. I'm w/ the posters who advocate going w/ more youth on this one.

Lost a bit of my enthusiasm when Beane signalled we're keep an older costly average center in Morse. Likely he'll be extended which is just a miss in my book. All these extensions may put us in dead cap Hell again. Follow KC's lead and move on from older or expensive players. Draft well and play them, not observe them for a few years like McClappy is inclined to do.
Morse is older - but he isn't old in terms of linemen just yet. He played great in '23 and could easily have at least 3 more years at a high level.
I think the team is moving more youthful in quite a few areas, but keeping a few vet leaders around is always a good idea.

Beane has done a great job building the line, both starters & depth.
Really, the most important unit when you have a true franchise QB.

What about Stroud or Herbert. The Texans are an up-and-coming team and Harbaugh will get the Chargers turned around. Took the Niners to the Super Bowl and just won a National Championship. The guy is a winner. As for the Bills we have the McDermott factor. Very good regular season coach but so far has proven he can't get to the Super Bowl much less win one in his 7 years with the Bills.
Good QB's - but neither has proven that they're on par w/ the big 3 in the AFC.
It will help Herbert to have Harbaugh. The Chargers might emerge as a legit contender. But I've really gotta see it. I'm skeptical.
Stroud looked great last year. Let's see how it goes this year. It has happened that a QB can look really good, but then the league kind of catches on to how best to defend him. Lawrence & Jax were the hyped team coming into this past season, and took a step back instead.

Looking different is a big positive, imo.
We need some kind of fresh start.
