    Isn’t there something where they can’t be charged for something they did before being in NFL?

     

    @Doc Brown , are you not aware of Rule 17.5.b-33?:

     

    "If thy team were the Patriots circa 1999 - 2016, or the Chiefs circa 2017 - Present, thou mayest draft players with pasts more sordid than the foulest excrement of The Dark Lord, Himself, and mayest thou do so with impunity, as the blood of the NFL shield hath washed away your sins.

     

    However, if thou art from Upstate New York, or art a good human, or art honest and of an unbesmirched nature, thou shalt NOT draft a player with any shred of iniquity--present, past, or future--or thou shalt be violently and permanently castrated by mercenaries in zebra costumes, be made the laughing stock of the league, and be cast out into the night where there shall be much weeping and gnashing of teeth! 

     

    Thus sayeth The Goddell, in mine mercy!"

    You should hear WGR right now.  They are complaining that he's not holding out because they don't have anything to talk about now.

     

    Classic WGR squawking Dodos: "Wahh.. Wahh... They saw our manufactured crisis:  The Emperor's clothes... Now what do we have to talk about, aside from our 87 fantasy hockey teams?"

    As with anyone looking to play safety in Sean McDermott's defense, his chance at success with the Bills will come down to his football IQ and mental processing. And that's where a year or two on the practice squad can do wonders for players like him.

     

    @Logic Well, considering he went to Yale, then graduated from Harvard with a bachelor's in Computer Science, I'm thinking the dude doesn't have a Commodore 64 upstairs... That's some black-box government clearance level computing power Owens is processing with. 

     

    I think he's going up to the task 😉

    Wasn’t he the one that completely blew by our DB’s as we were in McDermott’s soft overused zone? Only to have his QB not see him. Correct me if I’m wrong . I believe it was the last play of the game. If his qb sees him I believe you think differently. The kid is a stud. 

     

    When your QB is 5 foot nothin', a hundred and nothin', these things do happen.

    It says his 2025 cap hit is $2.5M.  If the incentives are easily attainable, they'd be "likely-to-be-earned (LTBE) and make it a $5M cap hit for the year.

     

    I may be wrong on this, but I was under the impression that "Unlikely to be attained" just means that the levels of those metrics in question (i.e. Number of TD's, receptions, yards, etc...) are higher than the player's previous season. 

     

    For example, Moore has one TD last year. If the incentive was 2 TD's, then it would be considered "Unlikely to be Attained", based on the previous season (even though with Allen tossing the ball, on Brady's offense, one would imagine that they ARE, in fact, likely to be attained).

     

    I believe that's how it works. Only incentive metrics that are at or below the previous season's would count against the cap.

    I did want to take one in this draft just because the value is there. Taking one in the 7th you might have been able to sneak a guy on the PS. Two of my favorites Brashard Smith and LeQuint Allen both went round 7 but I get why they didn’t do it 

     

    Well, Beane had to do SOMEthing to feed the wide receiver train, right? I mean, God knows what would happen if we hadn't taken a wide receiver...

  7. One thing I keep coming back to in my mind is that if you're a team other than the Bills, the Bills are a few selections ahead of you, and Buffalo's already drafted a DT or a CB, you might think to yourself that your guy is going to be safe. 

     

    Nope... Not with B.B.B. calling the shots.

     

    Is it logical to keep hammering positions? Debatable.

     

    Is it logical to suspect another team is going to keep going back to the CB or DT well? Nope... Not really.

     

    That's part of some Beane magic: Making other GM's make mistakes and miss their guys. I like that aspect of what he did.
