Does anyone know of a site that complies "Team Receiving Statistics by Position"? Broken down for each team by WRs, TEs, RBs and other. Stat Muse has it broken down by position for the entire NFL but NOT by individual teams. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/team-recieving-yards-by-position

Bass could get his consistency back. That being said, there should be competition on the roster now. Currently there are 13 WRs and 10 DTs. You tell me that you can't live without one of those in camp for a PK.

It has to be a factor in the negotiations.

If I was a GM it would be a factor in regard to contract guaranteed money.

So, you never heard of his concussion history?

There is also a good chance that they play to the same level or even better than last year. First, the returning 3 positions. Dawkins, Torrence and Brown are all back and healthy. Torrence and Brown will have another year of experience playing next to each other. I don't believe that Torrence has been "figured out". He was a rookie playing every down. He's an above average RG and I only expect improvement in his 2nd year. Spencer Brown's continued improvement is key to the OL IMO. His improvement can let Knox line up on either side of the OL, depending on the opponents and game situations. Instead of Knox primarily helping out Brown, he can become a defensive problem depending on where he does line-up. The question is C/LG changes. Morse was a good center, but it was time to move on from him. I believe they were planning on McGovern to take over, but the availability of VPG in the draft may change the final line-up. Morse was declining in the strength department so if VPG can take the center duties it could be a wash. That leaves McGovern to stay at LG. If VPG is not in the equation it comes down to which ultimately ends up being better. Morse/McGovern or McGovern/Edwards. I don't think anyone can know that as of now. Any initial regression from the C/LG combo will be made up with the other improvements. Ultimately, the OL with Knox and the possibility of Davis being a 3rd down back with good pass blocking ability makes Josh Allen's protection possibly being the best he has ever had as a pro. I for one will be following this closely during the summer.

Exactly. Miami can give him a good AAV but the guaranteed exposure can't be too big or too lengthy. I get the feeling that this is the reason(s) they haven't agreed yet.

With Tua's medical history there is a good chance no one is giving him a $275M with a $200M guaranteed contract like Trevor. I can see him holding out of camp and preseason to get a fair contract, but he shouldn't be too demanding. He stands to lose $23.2M if he doesn't play this year. $42M if he's tagged next year. The Cousin's route isn't a bad option.

Those 6 drops would have put him at 92%. He would have been 50 of 54. Sounds like you are not a fan. I think he's pretty good.

It seems to me that the AAV for Tua is not the biggest issue. It would be the contract length and guaranteed money.

Not sure what you mean. Once the final cutdown to 53 happens the PS is established and the $4M hit is on the books. Typically, Beane keeps another $3-$4M on top of that for the season. Currently the cap is for the Top 51. Once it gets to the season the cap has to cover the 53 roster, PS, IR and any other "designations". On the plus side. Not all of the current Top 51 will make the roster, a good number will be cut, and a lower salaried player will take their place. Beane has a lot of options, but I don't see any bigger signings coming unless it's too good to pass on.

I agree. The thing about Knox is intriguing for this season. He is going to stay in and help block for sure. With Spencer Brown improving, Knox can rotate between helping Brown or Dawkins. Defenses will need to worry about him staying in to block or going into a pass pattern. My real hope is if he can really get good and chip blocking and then slipping out for a pass. Knox also has a nose for the endzone. If Kincaid takes a deeper route, Knox can follow him up with a shorter one. Good things could happen with that.

Exactly! Also, every time a couple of PS players get "elevated" for the week, they get a one-week bump in pay. I was being generous only quoting $4M for the year. Beane also knows that for every player that ends up on IR, he needs to replace that guy on the 53 roster. Let's all hope that doesn't cost too much this year! Thanks for replying. I get tired of doing the math for board members multiple time per year!

The practice squad alone will cost $4M.

I corrected my post to LG.

Bills are already over the cap by $17M (as of now) for 2025. Diggs dead money this year has no bearing whatsoever on what money is on the books for next season. I responded to a question about where the Bills will be at the end of this season, and it won't be anywhere near the claim. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/_/year/2025/sort/cap_total

It may very well come down to which combination is looking better in camp and preseason: McGovern (C) - Edwards (LG) vs VPG (C) - McGovern (LG)

No way that is even close to being accurate. Maybe whoever claimed that have included all the possible options that could increase the cap space. Moves such as cutting Von Miller and restructuring every dollar from current contracts. Also, at the end of the season the Bills will have way less than 51 players signed so that always throws off the cap $ amount. Bills then have to think about re-signing/extending UFAs such as Spencer Brown. Beane is in way better shape next season than he was this spring. How much better, we will have to wait to see.

It might be advantageous to have line drive kicks into the landing zone that bounce into the endzone. No return likely and ball placed on the 20.

The NFLPA Cap numbers are always higher for every team compared to Spotrac and OTC. Not sure what they leave out compared to the others. Spotrac has the Bills at $8.09M and OTC has them at $10.1M. The big difference between Spotrac and OTC is that Spotrac counts all of this year's prorated signing bonus against the cap for all players over the Top 51 and OTC does not. Spotrac also counts all of Travis Claytons "Exempt/Commissioner’s Permission List Cap" against the cap and OTC does not. FWIW.

Thank you for stating what this thread SHOULD be about. This board has got to the point where everything is about THIS or THAT as the only choices. Cook, Davis and Johnson are going to be doing some great things behind this year's OL IMO.

Isn't it funny that Josh Allens 3 most "efficient" pass catchers are still on the team (Shakir, Kincaid and Cook). Beane got rid of the WRs that did not help the team and we all know the Diggs situation. Through all of that Josh Allen had his career 2nd best completion % which would have been better is Davis and Sherfield weren't in the 50's. Redzone TDs will be the key this year. No one (even you) knows how this offense will be in relation to that. We have to wait and see. Like I posted in another thread. Knox has triple the playoff TD receptions that Diggs had in the same number of games. That's the key to success.

Agree on CB depth BUT for me it's the O-Line. I believe that the O-Line has the potential to be the best in front of Josh so far in his career. If these guy gel together and the depth can hold up (if needed), it's the key to the season IMO. The "who ends up playing Center?" is something to watch. Brown and Torrence both improving? All this worry about WRs won't matter if Josh has time in the pocket. He will tear up defenses!
