Rew

One of our captains isn't currently on the roster.

Pretty sure that most people who grew up throwing a football could throw at least a handful of catchable balls (under ideal conditions). I think the real problem is pretty much everyone would have a 50+% INT rate and likely a bunch of fumbled snaps. I'd like to think I complete more than 5 passes if it wasn't for every series ending in a turnover. Probably 1-2 at the end of this disaster of a hypothetical game... Maybe more than 2 if they go an ultra soft zone with 3rd stringers while up by 40.

It looks like McDermott refuses to play anyone until they've been in the league for 5 years bc... reasons...

Apologies, I see it on the team page. Still don't see where they list it on player page. But that is the "near 100M you mentioned. Add in the 6M and subtract out the duplicate 3.76M and it's 100 exact

Looks mostly right to me. Nits would be that he's had $80M paid out already. This year (2024) the 23.7M cap is $20M of "new money" and $3.76M from 2022 signing bonus. Like you said, if they cut they owe cap for this year's 3.76 + the next 2 years. The item that doesn't seem to show up is what happened to the $6M of signing bonus that the boys paid but is never shown on public sites ($2M x 3 years). They incurred this as deadcap in 2022 after trading Amari, but it disappears for some reason. Sportac also is confusing that is shows the cap hit of 7.55 in 2025 as well as 3.76 in 2026. This is wrong. It's technically what you stated, 3.76 in each year. However, if he is not extended but finishes his contract it would all be incurred in 2025 (7.55). Edit - To be more complete, after restructure it looks like this: Cash: - 2020 $20M - 2021 $20M - 2022 $20M - 2023 $20M - 2024 $20M Cap (Boys): - 2020 $12M - 2021 $22M - 2022 $6M Cap (Browns): - 2022 $4.9 - 2023 $23.76 - 2024 $23.76 - 2025 $3.76 - 2026 $3.76 If the browns trade or release him in the 2024 league year they take the '25 and '26 hits in 2024. If they allow contract to lapse after 2024, they take both '25 and '26 hits in 2025. If they extend him, they take $3.76 in 2025 and $3.76 in 2026 plus whatever the new contract has. None of the 3.76M in 24-26 (11.3) is tradable.

Void year money is already paid (as a singing bonus). It stays with current team and probably accelerates. There are variations on signing bonus handling in contracts, but I believe this would be the typical outcome.

If I understand the argument correctly, comp picks are based on what you lost. The playing time would be based on their contributions to the team prior to them moving on, 2022 in this case. Edmunds played 72% of the defensive snaps in '22, which would (by some people's theories) reduce by some factor what he was signed for. It is possible that playing time in both seasons matters too. However it is calculated, there is no reason for this information to be so secret. I could have lived with a 4th if Beane knew it at the beginning of the season or throughout the season what the likely outcomes were.

They have to feel pretty good about McGovern at C. I didn't think they would move on Morse till next season after this year's day 2 center draft pick has some reps, but if Connor has demonstrated he can do it the cap savings are great. Dawkins has looked good with multiple guards next to him, not too concerned about them filling that gap.

Mcbeane has helped provide talent for the best offense (or 2nd best depending on your measuring stick) in the NFL over the last 5 years. It's okay to say it's not perfect or that we need to make moves to prevent to offense from regressing, but pretending that we haven't put a lot into the offense and gotten a lot of results out of it is asinine. On topic, with Kincaid here I think Shakir can be our #2 WR next year and for several years from now. I think we add a WR in the first 2 days and the draftee ends 4th in targets, maybe 3rd if he is able to pull ahead of Shakir by mid season. Diggs>Kincaid>Shakir>Knox/Cook/Future#1 is general target distribution throughout season. By '25 Diggs would ideally be replaced as lead receiver and move to a roll where he and Shakir fight for WR reps, with either of them ending as #3 in targets.

At least we can be dramatic about teams other than the Bills too

I think it was a reference to "seeing it live it looked like a serious lower leg injury. Came back as an Achilles. Not surprised to hear it confirmed after what we saw on tape". However, it came out really... Crass? Offensive? I think it was a reference to "seeing it live it looked like a serious lower leg injury. Came back as an Achilles.

Agreed. It was a nostalgia type show for the 35-45 crowd. More notable for the collection of memories than being a great performance.

Everything occured behind the LOS. It was basically a delayed screen.

There were 2 chiefs and 4 blockers. It was great play design. Of course somebody could have made a ridiculous play on the low velocity throw, but disingenuous to call it luck.

He was pretty broadly perceived as a good defensive mind in his time before the bills and even with the bills. I think he can be an effective coordinator still, but needs to be paired with the right HC to maintain team culture and discipline when in the presence of a very casual, player friendly coach.
