The Bills have been awarded two compensatory 2025 draft picks, both in the fifth round. Picks No. 169 and No. 173.
Nice. The Draftek site I was using had #171 and #175 so a little better!

So all the sarcasm in the Darrynton thread was premature?

if we don't re-sign Johnson and/or extend Cook, RB vaults up the draft needs. I also think a blocking TE maybe a need as well with Morris non-tendered. Come to think of it a developmental QB could be in the cards.
Yes.

That's good to know. Do we have hard numbers yet on how much the extensions for Rousseau, Bernard, and Shakir freed up?
Just on Shakir and estimates on Spotrac for Groot.

Nope, get younger. Take some chances in draft. Enough of these old dudes on the edge.
Need the DT with the 1st pick. Also need secondary. They are not going to get a premier DE in the draft anyway.
At least that's how it's starting to look to me.

I would consider Floyd WAY BEFORE thinking of a Von return.
1 year fully guaranteed $8M?

Agreed! I'm dying to know how much cap space this freed up.
We won't see this until tomorrow evening or Thursday morning unfortunately.

It really has been dead. You know some players are blowing up their agent's phones, going, "WTH??"
It is my hope. Then they say, "If I can't get the money, get me to Buffalo with Josh Allen!".

Well hopefully this swiss army knife element of Hoecht's game translates to more stunts and line movement. I've never been a fan of the incessant DL rotations. So maybe we'll see him line up as a 3T, DE or OLB? Hopefully we get the 2023 version? Unfortunately it looks like we're not getting a splash pass rusher in FA?
I haven't given up hope on that but with limits.
Maybe, just maybe, Beane can get one of these older guys to come over for 1-2 years for some fun and a decent ring chance.

you push all this money "down field" eventually your going to eventually be put right back into the worst team in cap hell down the road.. naw.. We have to stomach some of this.. this year..
Agree you can't push every player out.
The biggest question I have is how Josh's new contract will be handled.
So many (most) new QB contracts for franchise guys have a ton of money pushed out to the end and even past the contract years.
That opens up a lot of money.
I have typically been conservative with the cap (kind of like Beane) BUT I think it's time to do it.
Worry about the consequences when Josh is on the downside of his 30s.

There is, but nobody wants to discuss it or admit it exists. Too many lifer McD supporters here.
I'm a McD fan but I also believe that the DL is too straight forward. Need a lot more movement in the pass rush.
It's one thing that's intriguing about the Hoecht signing. I want to see more stunts.

The Jags are paying their (not a franchise) QB as much as the Bills are paying Allen though
They had a lot of cap rollover ($16M) but the big move they have made is massively backloading Trevor's contract.
His cap hit is only $17M this year and $24M next year.

I don't care about other teams. The Bills made moves to free up cap space and for what? None of them move the needle.
Some of us do. My point is only 1 day has gone by.

I probably should have posted this here.
Let's see what some of the other true AFC competition has done.
Ravens: Have not signed a FA. They did lose a number of players to FA.
Chiefs: Jaylon Moore and Elijah Mitchell.
Bengals: Tedarrell Slayton, Oren Burkes, Semaje Perine.
Let's give all this a little more time.

Imagine that! LOL. Panthers/Jags Super Bowl this year!

Cook is under a rookie contract to play this year.
I don't think he will "hold out". It hurts him way more than it would the Bills.
Beane and his boys have to have a clue as to what Cook and his agent are thinking.
They could also let him know they want a new contract, but they won't tag him next year.
If they have any real concerns that he would hold out, draft another RB and re-sign Johnson for what he wants.

It won't be that much once we see the actual numbers. That 12 is with all the incentives. I think you know that, but wanted to vent anyway.
It seems to me that there are fans who just won't accept the fact that Beane is not signing a Metcalf type at $33M AAV.
Instead, it's $13M for Shakir, $8M for Samuel and $12M for Palmer (or a little less).
Which happens to come to $33M, same as Metcalf.

Use Knox more as a fullback while having Gilliam for more traditional uses and special teams. No need to overpay a full back.
I do think the is a good chance they re-sign Gilliam. But I guess there is a chance they let that position go for an extra TE/WR.
I wouldn't mind that is they use TEs as FBs.

Hollins snap counts were influenced by the fact that he was the only WR that played in all 17 games. Shakir missed 2 games, Keon missed 4 games, Samuel was dinged up and missed 3 games. Of course Cooper was traded mid-season and got banged up. Also Hollins was the teams best run blocking WR, so I would imagine that given how run heavy the Bills were he was likely on the field often in running situations. He didn't get many targets so his added pop was noticeable.
If Hollins was younger I would have strongly liked the Bills to have made a competitive offer but at age 32 and given where the Bills are at they just weren't in position to pay a premium on what is a high end role player.
Good points on the injuries of the WRs. Even so, it seems to me you want your skill players to have a better numbers than what his were.
He was good at blocking (also good to hear that Palmer is a decent down field blocker). I just see Coleman, Samuel, Palmer and I suspect
a speedy rookie getting more of the snaps.
I have nothing bad to say about Hollins, just think he is not needed anymore.

He was an ST Ace that added some punch as a WR4/5. He had 5 TD's and just under 400 yards on limited targets. I wouldn't classify him as a JAG but he was a high end role player. But the Bills simply couldn't justify paying a contract worth up to 5+ million for a high end role player. If this was 2019 and Josh was on a rookie deal yeah over pay for the margins of the roster. But the Bills simply can't overpay a role player even if he's a really fun personality.
But he took more offensive snaps than any other WR/TE/RB. With that many opportunities he had some plays.
Bills need other guys to take over those snaps. I don't think the Bills were considering bringing him back.
I wish him luck and enjoyed him on the team but it's time for something different this year IMO.

49ers cutting Kyle Juszcyk. Not sure what they’re up to this offseason
He's like 34. If the Bills still want a FB they should look to get a lot younger than that.

Agree. But he isn't worth $4m plus per year.
Mack led the Bills for offensive playmaker snaps.
He did some good stuff, but those snaps will be going to other guys this year.
That's OK with me.

I hope you’re right but paying $24 mil for a poor man’s Van Ginkel doesn’t sound prudent. Pretty sure the actual Van Ginkel got about the same kind of money
He won't be making $24M. Let's wait for the contract. Not an agent saying up to.

Use those 2 to move up and get WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. To me it would be worth the toss of the dice.
