Yes. If I were a betting man, which I am not, I would have bet that Beane asked Smoke to cut his salary by 2 million (same as Butler and Addison & 1 million less than Morse) and he balked. So they got a receiver they could fit in the 6 million dollar window). However, when you include his dead cap hit between that and the salary for Sanders it is almost dead even. Somewhere John Brown is saying "like a family my backside". In the end it is a business and Beane must think that much of Sanders to basically break even.
For as good as Brown is, I trust Sanders to be healthy and make plays when needed in a big game, more than I do Brown. -
Aside from his ability, I can’t think of anyone who seems to fit this team better, personality wise, than Ertz.

Love this signing. Brown is a nice deep threat, when healthy, but got bottled up in both our playoff losses when we needed him.
Sanders has more dog in him, which was sorely lacking in that KC loss.

He should be restructuring deals if he wants to win this season. Every team.....literally every contending team is doing it. If we don’t, we’re just wasting Josh’s rookie contract advantage. You’re in it to win it.....or you’re not. Restructuring contracts and kicking the cap implications IS part of being a champion. Every team that wins Super Bowls does this. If we don’t, we probably won’t win one
Add in the fact that Hughes, Addison, Butler and Star all potentially come off the books soon.

The fact the Bengals let Lawson walk, and then turned around and signed Hendrickson is still so strange to me.

Try telling this to guys like the Bosa’s and Chase Young.
I guess my point is that unless you have an elite pass rusher, then I somewhat agree with you. I’m not excited at all about taking an edge at 30 anymore, because we would be looking at the fourth or fifth edge off the board at that point. It’s already a fairly weak draft at that position. We could get a better player at that spot than going for a second rate edge prospect.
Yea, I think elite pass rushers are still a problem, but how many of them are there really?
Bosa worked us, but TJ Watt couldn't do anything.
In the playoffs, it was Buckner and Jones wreaking havoc against the interior of our OL.

Have to say, this is a great point.
Chiefs cut their two starting tackles and restructured a bunch of contracts to sign the best interior OL on the market. They saw what happens when Mahomes faces pressure and that's the route they took.

Outside of OL, legit TE play could help a lot.
If we are able to play 11 personnel and always be multiple, with a TE in the formation that can always block or release, that would add another layer to the offense we lacked last year.
This could be done by development in Knox and/or the addition of another TE to the roster.
As for the backs... I like Moss, and him becoming the feature back could help.
This all assuming we don’t upgrade RB, which is the most obvious way to address this.

Some people on here are acting like the Bills have re-signed players from a 6-10 team or something.
You are under the impression that all these pass rushers want to sign with the Bills but we said “F off” we don’t want you.
Nobody is saying that. People are looking at this roster in relation to beating KC/Tampa etc., and staying on top of the AFCE.
The scrutiny is much more pointed when you’re comparing yourself to the best of the best.
Our DL was a massive weakness last year. We also had no running game or TE threat. Those 3 things (along with Frazier’s gameplan) killed us against KC.
So far, we have basically the same DL, with Jefferson/Murphy swapped out for Star (maybe). Addison, Star and Butler are all guys many on the board didn’t want, and two have been relegated to pay cuts, while the other is a mystery right now. All 3 are tying up cap space that could’ve gone to a young pass rusher.
We re-signed our OL - It’s likely set outside of depth. They are great in pass pro, so let’s hope our FO believes scheme, coaching and consistency is needed for the run game.
TE/RB, not fair to really judge them on these spots until after FA/Draft.
Beane isn’t perfect, but he’s dang good. He could easily shut me up, and I low key expect him too - but he’s done things we can at least discuss in non-sunshine/rainbows terms.

no I read quite a bit of posts where majority wanted to keep Milano, I didn’t even think we would be able to keep either of them. Beane found a way to keep all 3. Also you don’t build a team through FA you build through the draft, while yeah it’s boring that we’re not picking Day 1 of FA I’m totally fine with it and signing mid tier FA and building through the draft.
I have a feeling Beane will shut me up before FA is all said and done, but for how great he’s been.. our DL was a travesty this past year relative to the investments. As of now, we’ve simply replaced Jefferson/Murphy with Star - a dude who nobody even knows if he’s in playing shape, let alone going to even play. -

Again both the draft and FA are not exact science. If we let Milano walk and overspent on a FA DE that didn’t pan out on top of a draft bust at 30. Everyone on this board would be going after Beane with a vengeance, it’s amazing how weeks to months ago you guys were praying that we keep Milano and now you guys are pissed we re signed him I don’t get it
In fairness, the only guy the majority of this board wanted re-signed was Williams.
People were very split on Milano and Feliciano.
Coupled with keeping Addison/Butler, and watching all these young pass rushers fly off the rack today, the angst is justified.
I trust Beane and think we’re lucky to have him, but it doesn’t mean he’s beyond reproach. A lot of people here hated the Carolina-Connection Star/Addison signings and here we are with those two..

The “no stud D-Lineman” isn’t from lack of trying.... they have a ***** ton of money and picks already invested in the defensive line, they just aren’t very good....
I think Oliver and Epenesa have potential.
DE’s, outside the elite prospects, tend to take some time to develop. Oliver was screwed over by Star opting out, which caused a ripple effect on the line.
But yea...Hughes OR Addison are fine opposite a younger pass rusher - instead we have both plus money tied up in Butler because “RoTaTiOn”.

Ugh. So much more than I expected. This DE class is too rich for the Bills cap-thin blood. Scrap for the cap it seems.
Not necessarily directed towards you - just a random vent post..
The Bills are not cash strapped, we just choose to be right now.
Im sorry, but if this team with a rookie contract QB, rookie contract RB’s, rookie contract TE, rookie contract WR2, no stud D-Linemen and no CB2 is “cash strapped”, we have a problem.

I’m a trust the process guy, but Addison on this roster while young pass rushers are available in FA due to wild circumstances is really frustrating right now.

Well, they’re an AFC team so, by law, an NFC team must give them an elite player at little to no cost.

Other than AJ Brown, they have no one to throw the ball to, but yet keep adding to the DL
Maybe they can trade AJ Brown for Danielle Hunter? -

As long a Wilson isn’t going the other way...
Hot take ... I actually don’t think Wilson is that great, but for sure - id rather that not happen.
Would have to be Russ saying no to NY, because if Carroll likes Sam and the Jets have draft capital... why not?

Count me among what appears to be the minority in not being interested in Hunter if it's going to cost our 1st rd pick. 2 or 3? Sure, let's do it, but a 1 is too rich in my book...
What about our 1st for Hunter and a 4th back?
Brings back a pick from the Diggs trade and we now have our one missing piece.. we can afford him - once Hughes, Star and Addison come off the books, we’re not paying anyone on the DL.

Very good ILB. Didn't know he was a free agent. Much better vs the run than Edmunds and isn't weak in pass coverage either.
He’s awful in pass coverage-

I do think we'll make a move or two in FA by restructuring and finagling the cap, but I know we're not going to be major movers and shakers here.... that said, it's kind of interesting to follow the Jets, Fins and Pats to see what they do - knowing that they are all now chasing us.

I think the WR room isn't a priority to Beane this yr given they have Hodgins coming back this yr and he needs to fill the other positions which they lost some good players like their punter and DB is another position so i think he may think about it but has other positions of need that are more pressing right now .
Not sure relying on a redshirt 6th Round Pick is a great strategy.. especially when we are counting on a 2nd year WR to potentially take over the #2 outside spot.
I know there are only so many assets to throw around, but I think we really need to get a legit WR for our 4 wide sets, and then allow Hodgins to be WR5.
-
If we don't address pass rush in FA somehow, and Joseph Ossai is there at 30, I think he's the pick. He has elite pass rush ability, but is super raw. With Hughes. Addison and Epenesa in the fold for this coming year, he could be a pass rush specialist until he fine tunes the rest of his game.
If he's not there, I could certainly see us going CB or Offensive Weapon should someone too good to pass up be there.

Pushing all that money to future years just creates future problems. I don’t see Beane doing a lot of that.
I agree he likely won’t do a ton of this, but creative restructuring to get someone they want makes a lot of sense given the future cap increases and Hughes/Addison/Star contracts all potentially coming off the books after this coming season.
Watson bombshell?
