News for Buffalo Sabres fans: G Devon Levi signs his 3-year ELC deal today. One Buffalo!

Beane said yesterday that they were working a straight deal instead of the tender. I'm assuming it's that.

It's $30k per game in Spotrac for a total of $510k.

Well, I think he's worth bringing in for a workout and talks. All this, he only runs for 3 yards, may be what turns people off. I like him for the fact that in 3 years with TB he scored 32 TDs and has the opposite style of Cook and Hines.

Agree, Beane also said cap casualties (McKenzie) and going to rework Dane Jackson's tender. Spotrac just moved Dane off the tender, so I think that is happening. Spotrac with $16.8M less Kyle Allen and the new lower Jackson contract. He's got enough space to make a couple of mid-level moves without any big restructures.

I think he needs a workout at OBD. Seems to me he can complement Cook and Hines.

Spotrac has his 2023 cap hit of $3.6M. 2024 of $6.25M. Way better than I hoped for. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/jordan-poyer-12500/

Yes, but he's not a breakaway RB whose average is lifted by long runs.

Buc line was a disaster last year. He got 4.5 the previous year.

Bucs line was a disaster last year. Tommy was throwing fits with them.

73 catches on 83 targets last year. He's over 80% catch rate for his career. Seems pretty good to me. Bills only need him to spell Cook and use him in some 3rd down situations. I think he is a fit IF he can stay healthy. I sure hope Beane is going to bring him in quick for a workout.

Done? He scored 16 TDs the last 2 seasons with the Bucs.

Anyone can say what they will about him, but he has a nose of the endzone.

Seems to me that Fournette for around $3M is the answer to the RB question. I wanted him BEFORE he went to Tampa. Just turned 28 but his snap count won't be crazy. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/16/buccaneers-make-release-of-leonard-fournette-official/

It's going to be all on Dorsey this year. I see them wanting to have most of the WR able to play everywhere. It's a unique and maybe a risky scheme, but one I can see working great if it's executed right. The slot guy will be constantly changing I believe. Harty, Diggs and Shakir (and even Hines occasionally) should all get snaps there. Lots of fans want a true slot, but I think this is the plan. I will be watching to see if I am right or way off.

It's a good mix of styles. Give Josh a moment more before he has to move with a better OL and give Knox more true routes, they could tear it up. I know everyone has their own opinions, but this is what I hoped for.

Odds are he will get signed a vet minimum (or close to that) to compete on another team. If he gets cut, he will be back on the Bills PS.

I see the rookie WR being an outside guy who will replace Davis next year. As the primary outside depth guy, he can get a lot of snaps. Spelling Diggs and Davis alone probably gives him 30%.

Depends on Shakir and Harty's play. McDermott has to let some of these rookies play more if the others don't produce as needed.

"The blessing!"

Beane said yesterday about the cap space that there could be some "cap casualties". McKenzie is the first and I don't see Siran Neal making the 53. Siran with a post June 1st cut saves $2.8M. That almost pays for the Practice Squad where he might be in September!

McKenzie had to go IF that means a high round WR pick. Add that to your list and a battle for WR6 in camp. Now I see the draft as WR, LB/OL, OL/LB if Beane can't trade back.

That would be great. Let's hope that the Eagles and Lions want to trade UP.

I commented on that in my post above yours. Beane can't force a trade down. He will probably need to draft a LB but just because some think it's Campbell and he takes him at #27 is huge speculation to me. If Beane doesn't get a MLB in the FA he has to have multiple LBs targeted in different rounds of the draft and with only 6 picks he can't have the luxury to move up in any of the rounds to take one.

I can see your point, but the 5th year option had to be decided the previous year and they used it exactly the way it was designed for. None of us are privy to what Edmunds and his agent thought his worth was back in year 4. My hindsight comment was more about that. Beane might have known Edmunds wanted too much back then.
