Sorry, I'm not reading this properly and a bit confused... (it doesn't take much)
No big thing. More me just seeing how the dead cap gets spaced out.
The thing is, I agree that Beane should get the WR early in the draft because Diggs won't be on the team for much longer IMO.

Stef might be gone in 2025, and if he isn't there's no way he's still a number one for two more seasons. We need cheap but highly skilled labour at the position and as much as I like the Samuel signing he won't be the number 1 in two years.
I'm of the opinion that Stef and Von are both gone next season. One will be a June 1st cut to spread out some of the dead money.
Von has zero trade value but Stef's $17M cap hit ($0 dead money) for a team trading for him is a possibility. Possibly a 4th or 5th.
If he can't get a trade, he could reverse who is the June 1st cut.
Diggs cap savings if PRE-June 1st is $5M. That pays a lot of Samuel's cap hit and with a cost-controlled rookie WR (1st or 2nd) the WR
room is set for 2025 and 2026.
No way Beane is paying $50M for Diggs and Miller to play in 2025.
Beane has to see it this way and that's why he won't wait until the 4th round for a WR IMO.
These 2 moves get him out of the cap problems he faced this March. He already got 1/3 of the way there with White and Morse.
The 2 options are (cap $ rounded)
Diggs traded and Miller (June 1st):
2025 Dead: $29M
2026 Dead: $9M
Miller cut and Diggs (June 1st):
2025 Dead: $24M
2026 Dead: $13.4M

He’s 31, and am I correct his cap hit in 2024 is $34M?https://overthecap.com/player/keenan-allen/2227
Chargers will seemingly be in the WR market in the upcoming draft.
No. After the Chargers eat dead cap, Bears cap hit is $23.1M with no guaranteed money.

I think you won't be shocked.

Looks like a legitimate WR screen threat
He also ran for 200 yards (2 TDs) with Brady as OC in Carolina.

Lots off boo boo foot warnings last year.
He had a lot of nagging injuries last year but played through them and still caught 17 more balls than Gabe.
I take it you don't like the signing?

His best year per Thomas DeLaus with Cover 1 was with Brady as his OC…and I’d wager his QB was less than stellar lol 👍
Teddy Bridgewater.

In today's NFL, I don't know that big receivers on the outside is still a necessity. With that being said, if we do draft a receiver in the first round, I do worry about their being too many mouths to feed.
As it stands right now, Diggs, Knox, Kincaid, Samuel, and Shakir. Add in a 1st round pick, while you may want him to develop and learn, that's still a probably 2 of those guys on the bench at any given time. QB, 5 Lineman, Cook = 7/11
The rookie will not be anywhere near fulltime to start. They will get through it. It gives Brady all kinds of packages to use.

Over the cap today? Didn’t they need to be compliant yesterday? And how did they give Samuel 3 year $30 million deal.
Spotrac and OTC do not have accurate numbers from Dawkins and Knox and any other stuff we don't know about.
I will bet that Sameul's 2024 cap hit will be around $6M. Beane has that.

Yes. But he isn't a vertial receiver really. He is an intermediate guy who offers YAC possibility and makes guys miss.
If Beane goes with an early outside WR (who won't be getting 80% of snaps to start) how do you see using Diggs/Samuel and Shakir together?
I'm not saying full time, just in packages. I think Shakir and Samuel on one side with Diggs on the other could be a threat.

We currently don't even have a 3rd. Waiting until the 4th round in this exceptional WR draft is just an awful idea.
Could not agree with you more!!!

I think a lot of ppl seem to overlook this fact. I fully expect Kincaid to get a lions share of the targets next season.
Kincaid
Diggs
Samuel
sprinkle in Shakir and Knox.
id take a flyer on a rookie WR with insane physical skills but some red flags in the 3rd or 4th rd.
Unless something changes Beane has to think that Diggs is not long for the team.
A June 1 cut or trade has to be a possibility next year.
I'd still look to go with a 1st (2nd at the latest) WR this draft.

He was catching passes from:
Semi-Broken Cam Newton
Very Broken Cam Newton
Kyle Allen
Taylor Heinicke
Will Grier
Teddy Bridgewater
PJ Walker
Garrett Gilbert
Carson Wentz
Sam Howell
I think this will be an upgrade.
LOL. You beat me to the punch. I used "corpse" for Newton, "broken" works too!

Since Curtis Samuel has come into the league, he has had these QBs throwing footballs to him.
Corpse of Cam Newton
Kyle Allen
Will Grier
Teddy Bridgewater
PJ Walker
Garrett Gilbert
Ryan Fitzpatrick (Had 3 completions for his Commanders career)
Carson Wentz
Taylor Heinicke
Sam Howell
Just a "reality check" for any stat hunters.

He is a middle wr. Solid signing for a guy that will likely start but not a bargain or anything.
I was strictly talking about his cost. He will come in this year with a $6M-ish cap hit if the $24M (up to $30 with incentives) is accurate.
With Beane's cap situations it's about the highest he can go this year.

It's a solid #3 contract. High end #2's are making twice as much.
Pretty much agree. After you consider the WRs under rookie contracts I got him closer to bottom #2 pay.

Suddenly Hollins is fighting for one of the last WR slots. After a drafted WR and assuming the Bills keep 6.

what exactly would you call this?Have you seen what top WR are getting the last couple of years? Heck, Samuel is getting what Zay Jones and JuJu are signed for.
It's a middle cost WR contract to me.

I was hoping for a middle cost WR. Hope him and Josh meld quickly.

That was almost all in 1 game. otherwise it was 3 games with 2, 4 and 9 yards.
I will agree that he did "ok" in cleanup. But there was little to see as far as vision and burst go. Done a lot worse at RB#? Not recently. Moss as #3 last year before he was traded 5 games in was averaging more YPC. In 2021, Breida had better numbers in 9 games than Johnson did in 10. In 2019 Yeldon had more yards from scrimmage in 6 games than Ty just had. Marcus Murphy in 2018........
I guess. I think he is ok for #3. Another "stat" could be his 5.2 yards per touch was 2nd best for all RBs except Cook (5.6).
I don't mind him coming to camp at all, but I can see others don't agree.

I'm gonna love it when we win the division again. They feel like a house of cards this year waiting to fall over, and after that things get very dicey.
Their biggest concerns moving forward:
Tyreek Hill has a 56M cap hit in 2026 when he will be 32. They also have a huge dead hit in 2026 on ramseys deal for the void years to lower his cap hit.
Holland is a free agent in 2025, and Waddle will need an extension next season or he's playing on a 16M cap hit team option, or holding out. Feel like you almost have to try and trade him.
Their offensive line is currently worse than it was a year ago, and it wasn't good.
Their defensive line is currently worse than it was a year ago. They lost wilkins and while Sieler is a good player, its a big drop off losing wilkins. 0 depth.
Chubb blew out his knee, phillips his achilles, van ginkel is gone. Added Barrett. Lot of money tied up between chubb and barrett this year.
Secondary should be solid. Ramsey and holland are great. Poyer is still a solid safety. Fuller fills and probably upgrades howards spot. But man the depth is... not great.
Tua doesn't have a future contract at the moment.
They seem to constantly role in and out of high-priced guys. I don't understand their plan.
They will live and die with Tua getting rid of the ball quickly. If he signs for $50M AAV it will be a big risk.

This is how I feel about almost all our signings so far. Epenesa is the only one where I feel we got good value and couldn't have easily replaced his role with a late round or UDFA rookie.
Ty Johnson had a $626k cap hit with the Bills last year. Van Demark had a bigger hit.
Beane is just signing some guys he wants to bring to camp.
He may be able to do something after the draft, but the draft is where any real help is coming from.
Beane could be waiting to sign 1 middle of the road UFA. He seems to have enough cap room to do that. I don't expect more than that.

When you cut a player like White who has multiple years left on his contract..........
Cutting before June 1st means all the dead cap from all the remaining years is applied to this season.
Cutting after June 1st means only this year's dead cap is applied, and the rest goes on to next year's dead cap.
Boils down to Beane having some more money for this year.
