  1. That's exactly how I see it. He is versatile that way.
  2. Kickers are a strange group. He definitely had the yips last year but deserves a chance to show he can get it together this year. Definitely needs camp competition (same with punters). I never liked the "no competition" these guys have in camp. He must know he needs to improve, or he will be looking for a job next season. His cap hit next year isn't large.
  3. He could do that but I'm betting he knows in the long run he makes more staying in Buffalo and taking small salary cuts each year. He likes Buffalo (remember how happy he was when he bought his home) and HAS to know he signed an overpaid contract. His contract is through the 2026 season and if I was him, I would take the small pay cut. If he goes to a new team and has a bad year or gets injured again he could end up playing for less than $5M every year going forward.
  4. I think he will keep the guaranteed roster and option bonus this year and take a salary cut. He's scheduled to make $4.9M in salary. I'm guessing that will get cut to $2M or so and "maybe" some NLTBE incentives in return.
  5. Morris fills the TE3 just fine IMO. He was an ERFA so it's a cheap deal.
  6. The age thing is not as big as some make it out to be IMO. A 1st rounder has a 5-year rookie deal and then typically another 4-year deal. After 9 years in the NFL, it's a crap shoot as to what a player's worth is going forward. He would be 32 and the young guys are 30ish.
  7. During the season is one thing for injured players. Tre was fully paid for the year of his injury.
  8. None of his incentives are on the books for the 2024 season. He converted $8.645M into this incentive. So, if you want to go with what you are saying, they are all NLTBE.
  9. People are getting this all confused. Von redid this part of his contract along with the base pay cut. Spotrac has it all defined. There are no LTBE/NLTBE incentives. It's plain and simple. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/von-miller-7717/ 2024 Sack Incentives (non-cumulative) 2: $1M 4: $2.5M 6: $4M 8: $6M 10.5: $8.645M 15: $9.645M $1.5M for an AFC Championship Win + 30%+ snaps + 12 regular season snaps
  10. I don't hate the move. I will wait to see what the contract actually looks like.
  11. Agree. I said so in the post above yours. I'd add a 6th rounder QB with some potential (and some Josh type traits) for the PS too.
  12. It's fair for both sides. I like the idea that he will be the backup for 2 years running. Backup QBs do more than thrown the ball when the starter is out. I think what he brings to the table there is worth the little extra $s. Wouldn't mind a rookie to go to the PS if Beane has any leftover 6th rounders. Get the QB room stable with 3 QBs for the next few years.
  13. The contract is going to be re-wrote for these incentives. I'm POSITIVE it won't be the standard LTBE/NLTBE incentives.
  14. Come on, the incentive won't be on last year's production.
  15. Haack has a $988k cap hit with no dead money. I don't expect him to be the regular season punter.
  16. Spotrac is keeping up pretty well. It's -$16M with $10M added to the cap June 1st. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/
  17. In Bates 5 seasons in Buffalo, he has had 203 snaps at Center. That's a little over 3 games. I think us fans penciled him in as "heir apparent" Center too quickly. They know what they had with Baters at Center.
  18. If you take Tre's $10M post June savings and throw that on Von Miller's Dead cap, Von's outright cut saves about $1.5M this year and it's over. It's a possibility.
  19. Bates, in his 5 years in Buffalo had 1436 snaps and only 203 at Center. I personally never understood how fans had him as a Mitch Morse replacement level player at the Center position. He performed decently but the coaches know more about what his effectiveness would be at Center better than me. Beane hopefully takes a couple of these Day 3 picks and get a true college center that can take over when Morse hangs them up.
  20. In what world is it a good idea for a guy like Tyreek Hill to even agree to participate in a thing like this? He is not a smart man.
  21. Best explanation of the Douglas situation that I have read so far. Thank you. I would add that if anything, Beane probably had a long term $ number in mind for the extension BUT after Douglas's play that number may have gone up significantly. If it has it means his trade value (3rd and 5th) has gone up or at least remains the same. This talk of Beane cutting him is insane. If Beane thinks he may have to deal off Douglas, he may have multiple teams interested. It didn't take me long to look at this year's 3rd round early picks to see a team like the Cardinals needing a vet CB. Dealing pick #91 and getting back an early 3rd round pick is a net plus. It will be interesting to see what ultimately happens.
  22. Spotrac has them at -$37.5M after the McGovern restructure and the increase in cap space.
  23. Knox cost $2.6M in 2022 and $6.3M in 2023 in cap hits. This season his $14.3M is more than his worth BUT if Beane wants to move on from him next year he has a $7.8M dead cap hit. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. I don't see him on the team after 2024 unless he really tears it up.
  24. The Bills were way over $51M after they made the void year moves going to Dead Cap. Those players had to be replaced with others to get back to the 51 players. That is where the discrepancy comes from.
