I was hoping for under 20, but this is fair. It is the guaranteed money that really matters.

Good post. Saves me from doing the leg work. Fans worrying about the cap this year aren't aware of all the levers Beane can pull.

Good for them. Marriage is awesome. Sometimes it breaks down into a fiery hellscape of doom, but it is pretty nice otherwise.

It's getting ridiculous at this point. What is in the water there in KC? My dad just moved there. He'll be assaulting people within a month, I bet.

If not, Sweat in free agency would be pretty good. He is a difference maker. The Bills can free up 40 million in cap space pretty easily with some extensions and restructures and a couple of cuts.

There are virtually no primary man teams anymore. Even the teams that play man the most still play zone coverage more. The league average percentage of man coverage is, like, 30% man, if I remember correctly. A high amount of man coverage is in the 40 to 45% range these days. That's just a load of bologna. You don't know what you are talking about. Benford is a top 5 corner in the league and every statistic backs that up.

Yeah, losing him really screwed up the game plan since they decided to play more man coverage. We went from an elite corner (Benford) and an above average corner (Douglas), to an above average corner and a shaky bust of a corner (Elam). That is a huge difference.

Oh gosh. It's so funny they both have the same name and same position. I forgot there was another one.

He is getting older. Already 32. I'd rather extend him once we see how he continues to play. And it will be one or two year deals from here on out for him. Edit: Wrong Connor McGovern. Ours is 27. My bad.

I'd love to sign him. But also, McDermott has been getting a lot out of lower priced and lower drafted corners for his entire career. Heck, Benford is an example of that himself. If they want to pay him, fine. If they don't, I'm not too concerned.

The 13 sack number states we have an elite impact maker at edge rushers, which is something the team has lacked for a long time. I'd choose that and it isn't close. We already have a player on the team who could conceivably be a 1000 yard, 10TD guy. Khalil Shakir. We don't have anyone on the team who has shown they could be a 13 sack guy.

Epenesa was just signed to a new deal last year. Cutting him would produce 4 million in dead cap and save only 3 million. He is pretty cost effective for what he is. There isn't a reason to cut him.

Retiring usually has negative cap implications for the team. And players almost never want to coach. That is suggested a lot, but never happens.

He needs a few years, but PFR gives his 2024 season an AV of 11, which is higher than any single year that Morse had. If he keeps performing like that, he'll pass up everyone but Kent Hull at the position. But he is already 32, so that is doubtful. Edit: My bad. He is only 27. The other Connor McGovern is 32. Our McGovern has a real chance to go down as one of the best Centers in Bills history if he keeps up his play.

Here's my ranking: 1) Kent Hull 2) Eric Wood 3) Al Bemiller 4) Will Grant 5) Mitch Morse There is a wide gap between Kent Hull and the rest, though. He is a top 10 Bills player of all time regardless of position, in my opinion.

It's a shame he can never stay healthy. He was really good.

He hasn't been an impact player for awhile.

Yes, receivers have been overvalued. It is ridiculous that some of them are getting QB money, practically.

No, the old ways is paying running backs.

The pendulum swings back and forth. It seems we are back in the overvalued territory for RBs. It'll swing back once everyone remembers why you don't pay running backs big money. They have a short shelf life, miss a lot of games, and it is too easy to find good production from young, cheap backs.

That's silly money for a running back. Especially one with such a long injury history who has missed so many games in his career.

Favre didn't really stink with the Jets. Yeah, he threw a lot of INT's, but he always did that. He did go to the Pro Bowl that year. He had a great season with Minnesota the next year, though. That's true.

I totally agree on Byrd, Brown, and Williams. I could see Schobel as well. We'll see where Dawkins slots at the end of his career. I'd also like to see Brian Moorman. He has the accolades. Yeah, he was a punter, but I don't care.

It's probably the individual teams that care because many of them end up going to the opposing team fans instead of home fans. Yeah, they spew garbage about greed and yet still watch the games religiously and buy products and spend their free tike taking about the NFL on message boards. Pretty hypocritical if you ask me.

Nope. Not yet.
