I do. The only thing I don't like is the % gets skewed with 90 players vs 53.

When are fans going to realize that when you give more money to EVERY NFL TEAM. All that happens is the cost of every player you want to sign goes up. It does not allow any 1 team to sign more or better players.

I guess it ends up with Edwards' future. I think he is a good LG. The thing is with the current big OT contracts it comes down to whether or not McGovern gets another contract at C. IF that happens, I can't see Edwards getting another at G. Now, if the plan is to move on from McGovern with SVPG then I would think Edwards is still in consideration for another contract.

My hope is they do move on from both, because if forces them to put most of the offseason capital into the DL. With the OL, Beane signed McGovern and Edwards and then went and drafted Torrence and a flyer on Broeker, in a draft of only 6 players. Beane has to sign 2-3 FAs AND draft another 2-3. I could be 100% wrong, but they need to move on from Miller and Jones this year and AJE next year. IMO.

I think it might be that Anderson is a better G than Edwards. If Anderson starts, then Edwards is pretty expensive as a backup. The thing is these "younger" guys are not that young. Anderson is 26 and Van Demark is 27. If McGovern is going to get another contract, then Edwards is 100% gone next year anyways. All this makes me think something is going to happen with the IOLs this spring, especially if the Bills see a couple of IOL prospects in Day 3 of the draft.

Agree on the D but I could see a decent WR costing $10M. That is about where I put my AAV.

I see a very good chance that Miller, Jones and Martin (if the challengers win) are all gone this year. Trubisky is a maybe. He is to the point with his cap hit where it may be worth it IF a younger guy is as good. I put Edwards as a maybe too, only because I get a feeling that 1 move on the IOL will happen. I say this because the Bills are in a very good spot this year with Anderson and Van Demark, but both of them will need to have long-term decisions next season and if SVPG is serviceable then Edwards is expendable and will not get another contract with Buffalo. I think Edwards is tradeable.

I also agree that he is finished. DaQuan Jones' contract goes farther than what most see on the surface. IF the Bills keep Jones the cap hit for 2025 is $9.4M and then $3.7M in dead cap in 2026. That mean to keep him this year costs a total of $13.1M. Cutting him costs $7.6M. His play has gone way downhill. I think Beane will let him go. He may end up being THE Post June designation cut to give Beane the $5.5M he needs to through the season. I would do the June 1st with Jones over Miller. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/14523/daquan-jones

I would think $7M easily gets it done. Maybe even $6M.

Ty has only made $5.5M his whole career. He has a chance for a multi-year contract that should double what he has made so far. If Beane offers that, I think he stays.

Well done.

Ty is going to test the market. He could get a 2-year contract easily.

Right on. Also, if a team has only 1 elite WR who gets the lion's share of targets it could be problematic if he's injured at any time.

Exactly. This is why stats are not cut and dry and never tell the whole story. I see the real question in relation to the $. Is a $30M+ WR worth it when you consider all the other options a team has.

Still a little lower than I would have guessed.

Wow, that's 27%. Way lower than I thought. It does justify the crux of this subject.

Only TBD can have a football reference to the Khmer Rouge. Bravo.

I thought you meant 2/3 of total offensive plays.

Okay, so my point of 40%ish of total plays makes sense.

I find that hard to believe. Between running plays and minus passing plays to TEs and RBs, it seems to me that would be closer to 40%. Do you have numbers for this?

and Russ Brandon.

Cliff Branch was another.

Walt Patulski. Overall #1 pick in the 1972 draft.

If it's a pre-June cut or trade Jets take a $49M dead cap hit. Post June it's $14M in 2025 and $35M in 2026.
