Floyd doesn’t count.
Why not? Because of the "void years"?
The first step is to determine if a player who signed with a new team is a CFA. First, they must be an unrestricted free agent and not a street free agent. Second, they could not be a player who potentially had more years under contract with the team. If there was a team option that was not exercised, or at any point in their contract a player renegotiated their deal for fewer years, they are not eligible to be a CFAs. If there are void years in a players contract, these do not preclude the player from being a CFA.

In the shape we're in, I'd hope they aren't letting possible picks next year stop them from making acquisitions that can help the team now. We're not in a position roster wise to be focusing solely on mid round picks in a year.
I'm sure Beane wishes he had $30M in cap to spend, but he doesn't. The comp pick discussion is driven by that fact.
If Beane sees a deal, he will do it.

does that mean full time starter?
He had 36% of the total D snaps last season. I think it will be closer to 50%. Whether that equates to full time starter, we'll have to see.

I don’t know how anyone can hate this deal, he’s paid like a high end situational pass rusher and is young and can exceed the value of his deal. The Bills DE rotation without AJE was Groot and Von. Now adding back AJE the Bills can resign Shaq and draft a developmental player in the draft to round out the rotation.
I like the deal, hoping they can bring back D Jones and a couple of the older back end rotation players (Shaq at DE and then anyone of the following Poona Ford, Tim Settle or Jordan Phillips). That should then put them in a good position to just add 2 defensive linemen in the draft somewhere in rounds 2-5 to pad out the rotation and get younger.
Also, a chance a DL gets signed after June 1st when Tre's $10M cap clears.

For the record, here is the Groot, Floyd and AJE breakdown for the season. The % is their total snaps. Not a lot of tackles but missed out on a bunch of snaps as well.

36%AJE had 6.5 sacks last year. If he can keep his pace up with more snaps they will look to sign him long term IMO.
This is a "prove you can do it" contract. I like it. If he fails, they can drop him next year.

That's a good deal if they think he can get more snaps (which he should) and up his game some.
Fair for both sides.

I'm thinking he comes in cheaper than expected. Spotrac had him $5.6M AAV which seemed really low.
I'm going with 2 years $12M with some sack incentives.

Mack likely gets cut imo. Would be amazing to bring him in but after a 17 sack season someone might offer him big money
No rational GM is trading for Mack, so it's "fate" that he should come back to Buffalo to win a SB.
Mack is 33 and has made over $150M. If I was Mack, I would do it on the cheap.

Agree as far as depth is concerned but if he's our starting safety opening day I'm gonna lose it.
I don't think you need to worry about that.

the one advantage it does bring is it makes existing contracts less expensive v. the cap. So the money given to Allen, or someone else is now less as a cap %. Having players under control is an advantage if you think the cap is going up.
Totally agree. I should have added that. I commented on Cousins signing by saying Josh is now 8th in AVV and that's without the now
nulled Wilson contract. Some fans want Beane to re-do Josh's contract and that seems nuts to me.

No, post-6/1 designations allow the player to sign with another team right away. But Tre probably can't pass a physical right now so I doubt he will sign anywhere for at least a couple months.
Absolutely.
https://www.profootballrumors.com/2020/06/the-nfls-post-june-1-cuts-explained
Free agent opportunities aside, releasing a player in the spring and designating him a post-June 1 cut can be mutually beneficial for a player and his team. It allows the player to hit the market when potential suitors still have cap room and are still looking to add free agents,
-
That puts 8 QBs ahead of Josh in AAV.

Nah, he really doesn’t get beat often. In fact, the style of defense the Bills play lends itself for their defensive backs to rarely get beat. I mean, this is the NFL and QB’s are going to complete passes to receivers. However I can only think of a handful of plays that have left me dissatisfied with our defensive back play the past couple of seasons. Lewis not knocking the ball down and the long pass in Miami last season that Hamlin and Johnson covered come to mind.Last year he had a QBR against him of 87 and a 4.5% missed tackle rating. People act like his Venus de Milo.
I'm waiting to see what the contract actually looks like.

Looks like the cap increase sent a lot of contracts through the roof with inflation
I say it every year. The cap increase does not give teams (our Bills) any kind of an advantage. With the rookie and vet minimums going
up every year and the increases in contract $s, it's a wash.
One of the biggest ways to save on cap is drafting well. It's a big year for Beane and his boys!

Is that up to four million with incentives…,
We have to wait. It's agent numbers. I'm going to say his 2024 cap hit will be $1.6M or so and he won't cost anything much at all to
cut in 2025. I think that's ok for a 75% snap count ST player and a serviceable DB who can play multiple positions and familiar with the D.

Atlanta could be a force in that weak division. They still got some money after the Cozens signing and 5 picks in the Top 79 this draft.
A WR with their 8th is a big possibility now.

Lewis will replace Siran Neal backing up Taron Johnson in the slot... He can also play Safety in a pinch ... He also makes more Special Teams tackles than anyone on the team.
Good re-signing
That's exactly how I see it. He is versatile that way.

Tyler Bass should not be eliminated from this discussion. He is not worth $4.5 Mil this year. Not after his choke job last year. 82.8 FG%.
We could use a new kicker, or someone brought in during training camp to compete with him..
Every $ we free up will help this team this year.
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.

Certainly possible. I don’t think I’d do that if I were Knox though. I’d take my $5M and go play for another team where I’d make a lot more than $2M.
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.

His co tract had a $5M roster bonus that guaranteed last year. I’m sure that got converted to a SB. Not sure what else they did tho. Some of his salary could’ve also been converted. Or maybe a pay cut offset by additional guarantees and/or incentives. Just have to wait and see.
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.

Morris fills the TE3 just fine IMO. He was an ERFA so it's a cheap deal.

The guy is the total package. Size, build, speed, playmaking ability. And in listening to him talk at the Combine and reading about his history - I'd be surprised if he didn't wow them in the Interview process as well.
As I've said to people before, if you're someone who's scared by him being 23 after spending an extra year in College or the one year wonder thing - without those things we wouldn't get a whiff of him. He'd be up there with Nabers and Odunze in the Top 10.
From what I've seen of him on video and how he measured and performed at the Combine, he's the perfect fit for what I feel Beane is looking for. I'll take the age and one year wonder concerns for what he's got.
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.

Does anyone know if their are implications since he is injured? During training camp I often hear about how you cannot waive an injured player. Is that different in the offseason? I have to assume he is not yet cleared.
During the season is one thing for injured players. Tre was fully paid for the year of his injury.

all incentives are either likely or unlikely to be earned for accounting purposesNone 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.
2025 comp picks - good 1st day for that

Late round comp picks are nice, like finding out your AARP card actually gets you a discount.
