    Allen vs Poyer

    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...

    $17.2 million cap space. Probably doesn’t include recent deals. 

     

    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.

    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.

    Diggs cryptic comments - 2024 edition

    You didn't answer my question:
    "Therefore, if the Bills trade Diggs and incur $3M more than the $27.8M cap hit he currently carries for being ON our roster as a very good WR available to play for the Bills, the best on the team last 4 years - we need to replace him.  How, and with whom, when we take our limited cap space and turn it into $3M less cap space?"

     

    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.

    Diggs cryptic comments - 2024 edition

    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.

    They start their move to a QB.

     

    In Context March 12th 2018 Buffalo Bills Trade 21 and Cordy Glen to Cincy for No 12.  That 12 combined with a couple 2ns turned into 7, which well turned into the Alien.  

    I wanted to post this as soon as I saw the title.

    Dude is a speed demon...4.31 40 time...fills the John Brown role for us we have sorely missed 

    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.

    Again if you’re not clear of the contract details you should find out. It’s interesting that you’re adamant about your stance without being sure of all the details. 
     

    15m guaranteed for 2 years is 7.5m per year. That is similar to 7m per year in my book. Yes obviously more years to a contract will have more guaranteed money. But what if a player thinks he can get a much better offer if he has a big year. Brown accepted a 1 year deal that’s similar (per year basis) to what he probably would get if he accepted a 2-3 year deal. He probably thinks he’s worth double that and don’t want to be restricted to a low multi year deal. Players do this when they feel it’s a better path for them to the contract they want.

     

    The franchise tag situation is different. Tagged players are in demand in the open market. That’s why tagged players gets paid the average of the top 5 salaries of their position in the tagged year. They would have no problem fetching a lucrative long term deal so of course they wouldn’t want a 1 year deal in their situation. That’s not where Brown is at. 
     

    You think that if the Panthers had offered Brown 15m guaranteed for a 3yr deal he would take that over the 1yr 7m he got? His agent would be sued for malpractice if he let his client take a deal like that. 

     

    Could you please link contract details? I am not able to find them.

    Keep hearing that. and then see moves like this and it makes me think they draft 1 guy in rd 3 or 4 and call it a day. Sad but I fear may be true 

    Now you are being completely ridiculous. Moves like this make it even more likely we are drafting WR round 1.

    Bills re-sign Cam Lewis

    Not really a fan of this. Lewis and Rapp are not guys you sign on day zero of FA. If they sign elsewhere so be it, we can find cheaper options on day 3 of the draft or in late stage FA. McDermott is a little too obsessed with continuity at depth positions IMO.

     Happy I agreed with this post but now when the contract details are out there it looks much better. He is really cheap.

    Epenesa re-signing, 2-year deal

    I feel a lot better about the deal after seeing the numbers. $3.9M cap hit this year, and we can cut him next year for $3M in dead cap (or keep him for $6M), then void years of $2M and $1M in 2026 and 2027.

     

    His market must have been much worse than expected. To be honest I never understood the initial contract projections of $10M+ per year. He is best served as a backup/rotational EDGE.

     

    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.
