  1. Contract details are on Sportrac. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/taron-johnson-25222/ Extension saved about $4M cap space this year, next year's cap hit only $8M.
  2. Appreciate effort put into this mock. Also would be very pleased with the outcome for the Bills. One question though - why would Vikings do this trade? Bears are not taking 2nd QB and Jets won't draft one this year. Do you think someone could jump them for McCarthy?
  3. I am really confused what position this guy plays. In OP Schefter says he's a DE, you say he is a run stuffing DT. So what is he in our scheme? Oliver backup or Jones backup?
  4. Kirby, could you please elaborate on this? Because right now, I see more than enough space for 10 rookies. By my count there are 42 NFL players on our roster, who were there last year or who we signed this year and we can reasonably predict they end up on 53. This group includes Justin Shorter, Mack Hollins, Kingsley Jonathan, Nicholas Morrow and Damar Hamlin, and I really don't think these are locks to make the roster (and I think we could even include in this group guys like Quintin Morris and maybe Ty Johnson depending on his contract). So right now, there are at least 11 spots totally open right now, possibly up to 16-17. Then there is group of players like Eli Ankou, Tommy Doyle, K.J. Hamler or Andy Isabella who are fringe NFL players, but I really don't think these guys prevent us from keeping any promising 6th round draft pick. I think this is actually a great year to draft 10 rookies and hope that we hit on 8+ enough that they are worth a roster spot. There is enough room. I really hope that Beane resists temptation to fill roster spots with washed vets before the draft and give them some guaranteed money, so they will be harder to cut and will block roster spots for some young talent. Add a starting safety and then wait for the draft (or don't give any guaranteed money at least).
  5. Slightly OT, but if anyone here played football - if you are running at full speed, do you have time to notice who is the defender? I've only played basketball and I always knew who is who, but I guess it is slightly different in football...
  6. We need WR2 who becomes WR1 very quickly, not WR4. 😉
  7. Lol at this price I'd take him for the Bills as Josh's backup.
  8. Sportrac is updated and has the same numbers right now. It includes Knox's cap hit lowered from $14.3M to $7.7M, and also (surprisingly) Douglas' cap hit lowered to $3.3M - it seems that they agreed to different restructure than reported before, now he has more dead cap in void years too. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/ It obviously doesn't include Morrow, Hollins, Jones, Samuel and Johnson. My guess is that they will combine for ~$15M minus $4M they will replace. So if everything is correct, we should have about $6M cap space right now. However, Sportrac has something obviously wrong imo, since it shows current contracts as total of $218M but if you count them its only $215M.
  9. It's on Spotrac now. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/dawson-knox-29132/ His cap hit is lower both this year and next, but dead cap after this season went from $7,8M to $17M.
  10. I did. If Jerry (or anyone else) is willing to give us first round pick we just draft his replacement and it will cost us $6M more this year and will bring brutal ($20M+) cap savings next year. Again, I am not saying someone is actually offering 1st round pick or that rookie will be as good as Diggs but doing this is definitely an option.
  11. Why almost everybody keeps saying he is not tradeable? I am not saying it is a good idea but we can definitely trade him. He has cap hit of $27,854,000, if we trade him by tomorrow he'll have dead cap of $31,096,000. That's like $3M more. If we somehow trade him for let's say Cowboys pick no. 24, we can draft new WR with cap hit $3M and voila - we have new WR for $6M higher cap hit this year and like $25M lower cap next year. So again, why it is so impossible to trade him? Now if you say that it will make us weaker because Thomas is not Diggs then fine, but it is a different conversation. To be clear, I am not saying (i) we should trade him, (ii) we wants out of (iii) we can get round 1 pick for him, I just say that Bills can easily trade him. Especially if someone is ready to give us R1 pick. In fact, if Jerry wants to do that, and there are any indications that we wants out, I'd seriously consider that. Draft Thomas and one of Legette/Mitchell and start a new era. If we draft two, the chances that one of them will pan out as WR1 are considerably higher. And we would have much better situation cap wise going forward.
  12. Dion Dawkins extension details: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/dion-dawkins-21805/ Saves about §6M this year. Cap hits: 2024 - $11.5M 2025 - $20M 2026 - $23M 2027 - $23M + 2 void years with total dead cap of $4.6M
  13. Breaking we have Dion Dawkins extension details: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/dion-dawkins-21805/ Saves about §6M this year. Cap hits: 2024 - $11.5M 2025 - $20M 2026 - $23M 2027 - $23M + 2 void years with total dead cap of $4.6M
  14. I wanted to post this as soon as I saw the title. Brandon Beane QB drafting school.
  15. People keep saying this but I don't see it. John Brown has career YPC 14.9 and had similar number while in Buffalo. Samuel has 10.7 and it was even less last two years. I am not an expert but it clearly seems that he won't play John Brown's role unless we use him differently than he was used before.
  16. Could you please link contract details? I am not able to find them.
  17. Yolo in his prime wouldn't use all CAPS in the title You'll make me happy if you edit it.
  18. I don't watch Commanders like at all but judging from his stats (10 YPC), does he play strictly slot?
  19. Now you are being completely ridiculous. Moves like this make it even more likely we are drafting WR round 1.
  20. Happy I agreed with this post but now when the contract details are out there it looks much better. He is really cheap.
  21. It's on Sportrac now. Much cheaper than advertised. Only $3,1M over two years instead of $4M. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cam-lewis-29585/ @Process tagging you if you wish to edit title
  22. I really hope Beane comments on this somehow soon.
  23. Interesting. Does this mean that they are off WR market at pick 8? They already have London, Mooney, Pitts + Robinson.
  24. Agree with everything, just minor correction - there are 2 void years, both have dead cap od $1M, so total of $2M accounted for in 2026. Deal is really good value for the Bills imo.
