Nope. Josh could free up a couple of million with a restructure. Some other guys could go with a void year. All that just throws the money immediately into next year's cost. So not sure what Beane will do. Funny you mentioned Edmunds. I tried digging any info up on whether a 5th year option player has ever done a restructure (without an extension) but couldn't find anything. It would be weird, but I don't see any rule saying it can't be done. If Rhodes signed a vet minimum it would cost about $1M. If he wanted more it could have a void year attached. I guess it's an option.

It seems pretty clear to me that the Ravens game this Sunday along with the KC and 2nd Miami game will tell the story.

Drugs are bad, makaay.

While I have not. I still think the Bills have the inside shot at the #1. The injuries will need to stop now but all the top AFC teams will lose multiple games during the season.

The NFL Cap is a hard cap. You can't go over. All players cost in $s count against the cap. 53 Roster IR PUP Reserve/Suspended Practice Squad Dead Money As to your question about guys going on IR there are certain rules as to the "cap cost". If a vet (aka Tre White) goes on IR his entire cost is "charged" to the cap. If a player less than 4 years (aka Marquez Stevenson) only a prorated portion is charged. What the exact formula is I can't remember. Stevenson (as an example) would have had a cap hit of around $800k if he was on the roster healthy. While he is on IR he has a cap hit of $500k. There are also "injury/waived settlements, but that player has to be released and cannot be re-signed by the team. Yes, see above.

I was disappointed after the loss but not upset at all. My concern going forward is the residual aftereffects of the game. The guys need to get as healthy as possible for Sunday. Slipping into Baltimore and coming out with a win (of any kind) would be a huge victory for the team! They get a bit of relief the following week with the Steelers at home.

There may not even be a 1st round ranked Center next draft. They need to draft a C/G and another OL but what rounds cannot be known yet.

I watch the snap of every kick. There has been a number of snaps this year a little high. I've seen a number into the holder's body. Too far to the right if looking from behind. I'm assigning no blame to any of the 3 (snapper/holder/kicker) on the miss, it seems they need to keep working on this. The whole process just doesn't look as smooth as I have seen in the past.

Injured again with a hamstring.

There is a long, long list of teams with bad OLs. Morse needs to get healthy fast. He's the anchor and is needed back.

Well, you can't say Danny 10c didn't do what he was supposed to do.

This game turned into a pretty fun one. Let's see Daboll get that score back.

That's all I'm saying. I'll add that when Crowder was with Washington, he did some sweeps too. Dorsey is new and he has some time to adjust, but he has to do something to get some eyes off of Josh 100% of the time.

Every game the RBs get one or even 2 long runs but that is not the result of a great play. It's just an odds thing with me. What I see happening is defenses are pushing straight into the Bills line every play, whether it's a pass or run. These shotgun handoffs have the RB more or less standing and once they get the handoff the D is already on them. The long runs happen when the RB can somehow get through all those guys and then see daylight. I speculate that not a lot of play designing, and practice is happening in the run game. I don't say they need to start running often, they just need something other than what they have been doing. Some pitches (as I've said) and some jet sweeps to start. McKenzie had a sweep for 6 yards, and they never went back to it.

6-6, the game is heating up!

Thank you. The crazy part is Cook had a couple of pitches during the preseason, so it's in the play book. From what I see Cook can get up to speed pretty quick. I'm waiting patiently to see it.

My 3rd time saying this already. I want to see some pitches to Cook. Stretch the D along the LOS.

I don't think Toney is rotting. He's been battling injuries.

Those were 2 good TE plays designed by Daboll.

I often think fish get tired of seafood.

I'll have to wait to watch the Manning Cast. I can't watch Jimmy.

Half that and half on the NASA Dart mission. It was awesome to watch live. They hit a 500ft asteroid traveling 14,000mph. Great worldwide effort! 40K a week. He gets a minimum of 3 games pay whether he's on the team or not. A bit taken off for him leaving the PS.

No. Think about it this way. Where would the Bills get $16M when Tre comes back? The player goes to IR. All vets get the total cap hit and they need to be replaced. It costs extra money when players get hurt.

Duh. I had money on the brain.
