Wouldn't it be nice for Shakir to have his "break-out" game! PS guys on the gameday roster get credited as if they are on the main roster. I guess I'm mixing some terms up, but the bottom line is they are on the "main team" for that game.

PS guys elevated are considered on the main roster for that game. I can't find any specifics as to PS playoff call-ups. If Smoke gets called up every game, I still don't know how that works pay wise. The rest of the PS gets their normal weekly pay.

This also may be the game where Shakir gets a lot more snaps than his typical 20-25%. I could see him and Cole splitting time this Sunday.

He will be eligible for 50% of the playoff bonus even if he isn't on the team for the playoffs. @Flipnmiposted some of the criteria and I just found this from CBS (for 2023 playoffs). There is a whole litany of different qualifications for playoff bonuses. A lot more than I would have thought. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2023-nfl-playoff-bracket-projection-bills-top-eagles-in-super-bowl-lvii-as-we-predict-every-postseason-game/

Kyle will represent the drought years and probably go up sometime in the next 2 years.

Like @SectionC3said in the Beasley thread, the Bills are going to need to call up Beasley, Brown and a DT this week. They can only elevate 2 from the PS so someone has to get signed to the 53. The Bills only have 4 WR on their active roster so signing another WR to the 53 is no big deal.

Not really. Players are paid through the league for the playoffs. Beasley stands to make $319k if the Bills win the SB and he is on the active roster. I'm not sure, and can't find anywhere, what PS players get paid during the playoffs. I think their regular weekly salary. Just to add to the conversation, the SB winning team players will make about another $20M in total salary. That does not come out of the salary cap.

Not exactly sure (I'm going to keep an eye on it) but players are paid through the league for the playoffs. They don't count against the cap from everything I have ever seen. https://en.as.com/nfl/how-much-do-nfl-players-get-for-playing-in-the-playoffs-n/ NFL playoffs pay rates Here is how much a player would get in each round of the NFL playoffs in 2023. Division winners participating in the Wild Card round - $46,500 Other Wild Card teams- $41,500 Wild Card first-round byes- $41,500 Divisional playoff game- $46,500 Conference Championship game- $69,000 Super Bowl champion- $157,000 Super Bowl losing team- $82,000

Dane Jackson is a RFA next spring. he will no doubt need a 2nd round tender to keep. Not sure if he will be worth the money. I could see another CB drafted, but in the later rounds.

You would win that bet. I'm sure that is exactly what the plan is. Add that Crowder is in the 21 days window which will be perfect if another slot receiver is injured. If everyone (in the slot) is healthy for the SB then Crowder can just go back to IR. The Bills front office is a lot more forward thinking than some people give them credit for.

Having Tua behind center with the threat of passing affected those numbers. Don't you think?

Lots of Miami OL on the DNP list along with Mostert. Without a huge QB threat, are people still expecting the Dolphins to "pound the rock" and sustain long drives?

My hope for FA is that Beane can secure a couple of good players cheaply who want to come to Buffalo for the chance of the ring. It's a powerful recruiting tool.

You didn't and I'm talking just in general. Just wait until next spring when every FA that people will want to sign will be followed by "the cap is meaningless". I didn't mean to insinuate anything. I posted a reply because your detailed Spotrac link is a great place for fans to understand the system.

I would caution fans who are thinking Beane is going to restructure every possible contract in 2023. Ther odds of that happening are extremely low. Beane will do what he has been doing in the past, he will restructure as he needs it. He is not going to free up every penny and then go on a shopping spree in FA.

Has to be said. Peaches and Herb had some great "make out music" as they used to call it back in the day.

Dorsey aside I'm just going to comment on the rules for acquiring a new HC. An NFL OC is the 2nd highest coaching position in football. A good/smart team develops their own if at all possible. When a team promoted a new OC and after the contract is signed, I think having that coach eligible to get selected by another team is a disservice to the NFL as a whole. These new OCs need to develop just like any other player or coach. Too many of these young guys get these jobs too quick and it's a negative for both teams. The team that spends all that time developing the coaching talent gets the shaft and the acquiring team gets a coach that is not seasoned enough to have a fair chance of actually performing well. There should be a minimum time (at least 2 or 3 years) before that should be allowed. An exception could be made if the team wants to trade for the talent. As to the "only 32 jobs" thing that gets constantly brought up I see no problem, as every season there is a number of HC open positions. Of course, this should apply to the DC too. The current NFL HC carousel is starting to get a little foolish IMO.

The Bills have pretty much known they were going to make the playoffs all year long. If our new OC hasn't kept some stuff up his sleeve, I will be disappointed. Maybe Hines will have a couple of those plays.

Yes, and if he does play, he definitely won't be 100%. Fins Heaven better not B word when he fumbles. As for Tua, if he does play and takes a hard "legal" hit and has to leave with another head ringer............it's all on him and the Dolphins. One way or another this is going to be an interesting week with a lot of rumors. I'm looking forward to all the drama.

Sorry but that is funny.

I like it. Saturday is too soon, the guys need that extra day this week. Monday would be horrible. Sunday Night would be just too long to sit around drinking. LOL. It was Sunday at 1 or 4:30 for me with 1 being my preference.

Yes. Didn't want Saturday or Monday at all.

I was hoping for Sunday at 1:00. Thank you!

I'm thinking they release it now.
