There is some evidence I have seen when it comes to cap allocation that may indicate Beane does want more mid-level players vs a couple of top end players. This, if true, can be argued both pro and con. Without of bunch of "mid-level" guys that the Bills always seem to have, one cannot say for sure they would have as good of a win/loss record every year. Of course, the con is (and we hear this all the time) without more "elite" players the Bills can't win it all. I tend to believe Beane believes in the mid-level theory a little more than the elite theory although he has steered to that with players like Diggs and Von. Both didn't work out so well. I'm looking forward to seeing what this year's team will ultimately achieve. Go Bills.

That technology is a type of vision sensor (a sophisticated camera). It can be very accurate but must have a clear sight of the line and the ball. In football the players would interfere with its sight. Chips in the footballs sound simple but it's not easy. Passive (non-powered) chips would not be accurate. Powered chips would need a battery and could be used but they need to be triangulated. An array of sensors would need to be around the field and that could be done but these types of systems have to ping the sensors in the balls. Sensors like these that I have used have a response time. Typically, about 100ms (one tenth of a second). The ball could move quite a bit in that time. I'm sure higher speed ones can be found but they wouldn't be cheap. A football field is a big area. We used these sensors in much tighter spaces. If a system like this that would be accurate enough can be found I sure would love to see how it works!

Van Demark? He was an ERFA. His salary is predetermined. He will be an RFA next year.

Taron Johnson. Not Jackson. Bills have 2 of the 3 starters. Need 1 more.

Yeah, I meant under. I corrected it. I also agree with your numbers.

Benford and Johnson. Most GMs do.

Beane doesn't need to pick a CB with #30. He has 3 picks to find one in the first 2 rounds.

Every year during the draft there is talk about good CBs to be drafted. But there are never enough to go around. Good CBs are hard to find. Bills have 2 of the 3 covered already. Find 1 more and things are OK.

What a great contract for both parties. Now I see why Bernard got a little more than expected. He only gets that money if he keeps performs well.

I agree. Kincaid and Bishop need to step up this year and Beane needs to hit on this year's draft. Beane is top shelf in my book.

No doubt someone at OBD seen he was available, and they snatched him up for camp. IMO a vet like this is better than an UDFA. I'm interested how he fits in during the summer.

It would have to be a 6th round sleeper that they can stash on the PS. That's the only way I can see it done. Actually, not a bad idea IF one of those types are around.

Agree that Beane has plenty of moves this year. Spotrac has $10M under the cap but a lot of contracts still need to get on the books. When the dust settles, Dion's and another player or 2 will need to restructure to get under.

Josh's contract is interesting. I have never seen a QB contract quite like it before. I was thinking they were getting big cap relief this year, but they seem to be setting this up for a later extension which will carry all the dead cap when Josh is no longer playing. It's like the cap hits are "pay as you go". Set up for Josh vs the Cap % to stay low. Probably a good idea.

Agree. Vet minimum(ish). LOL. What is it with the Charger connection this year!

The offense is bringing back the vast majority of players from last year. The couple of new WR players will be an overall plus. Coleman and Samuel should increase some in worth. Continuity will help with the OL and run game. Another year under his belt will help Brady in his development. The defense is a work in progress. I am seeing some pluses but still needs more work. If the D can shave some yards and points off from last year it will make a huge difference overall.

That is hard to believe. If true, Beane needs to restructure a bunch of players to get under the cap.

Maybe Kupp can get them to 6 wins this year. They still can sign players, just not with the $52M in dead cap.

Generally soft spoken in his first presser. Not what I would have imagined. I liked it. Welcome to Buffalo Joey! Go Bills.

Not a lot of quality left in the FA market. I'm hoping Beane is looking in the trade route. I would even look to trading a player in a package or player for player deal.

They drafted a S in the 2nd round in 2023 and got Jeremy Chinn in FA in 2024. He was odd man out with the new HC/DC.

Cook can't hold out the entire season. He's still on a rookie contract. It would mean he only would have 3 years accrued. He wouldn't be an UFA next year. He would be an RFA.

I knew I'm "special". No one will believe me.
