    Please tell me how this trade works on the chart... extra credit if you can identify trading team and who they are moving up for..

    NYG is possible, our first is 620 pts, they could give 42 and 76 for it which would be 690 so a slight overpay. We have 2 5ths so we could add one of those to sweeten the deal(those are about 23 pts)

    As I read through the free agent threads here....a whole lot of talk about steep prices for guys (always that way this time of year) but what I notice is that the Bills fan base seems overly cap conscience.  

     

    I am not very familiar with Bills spending history or how they work with the Cap....and I certainly don't know the Pegulas ideas on this or Beanes.....

     

    My questions to you are:

     

    1.  Is everything ALWAYS about the future?  Is there ever a thought about "now"?

    2.  Do you see a team that has had the cap kill them and you don't want to do the same?  ...was that team the Bills at some point?

    3.  Do you think the cap can be manipulated or do you believe that the piper that needs paid, is always right around the corner?

     

    There are no wrong answers to these questions....everyone kind of has different ideas on how this should work or how things ought to go with spending and contracts.....just wondering what the community here has to say about it since you all, IN GENERAL....seem kind of skittish about spending money (having the Bills sign folks..I know it's not your money)  

    No we are not "scared of the cap" we are currently in a position where we could win the Super Bowl next year and will continue to be in that window if we are smart about the cap unlike the Saints with their current situation and even Eagles who won it and then immediately fizzled. We don't need to go all out to win the super bowl, with just some moves that we have already made we are now in a great position to win the Super Bowl next year and t what McBeane has always preached is winning now and in the future. The way we are acting now in FA is exactly that, very smart about the cap and future while also improving. Next year Allen will be better as he is still learning, his connection with Diggs will be better as they get more reps, the run game will be better with Moss gaining experience and the starting OL actually getting to play together, not just 3 snaps together like all of last year. Additionally Milano and Edmunds played a lot of the season hurt and should be better on D and Star returning will help too. So no we aren't afraid, we're putting ourselves in the best possible position to win now and in the future. As a matter of fact your Chiefs will likely be in a bad cap situation pretty soon.

    No.  It’s a good 2nd rd

     

    That’s said, he’s better than this board thinks imo. Dude didn’t drop a pass last season and is a good run blocker. He’s a perfect fit for out offense.  

    He instantly gives us a great red zone threat lol and dramatically improves the TE room. I was saying 5-6 because I think less than that is definitely getting matched by GB. 2nd round is a good pick but one, Friermuth will not be there and probably not Brevin Jordan either, and even if we got either, them becoming as good as Tonyan is not all that likely

    Teams can keep kicking the cap further and further down the road.  Eventually, there will be one season in which we are screwed.  I’d much rather we have multiple years of restructuring (while having one season of getting screwed by the cap) and going for it rather than playing it safe.  
     

    we don’t have to restructure everyone this year....but I feel we should restructure a couple contracts to get us some more space.  If we don’t.....we’re basically stuck with what we have plus our picks.  There’s not much money left this offseason

    Yeah I feel that. I think there is a desire though to be the new patriots dynasty as we've been so much in their shadow and they always talk about them being the class team. Restructuring is not good for a dynasty team but definitely good for going hard for a year or 2 for the superbowl.

    He should be restructuring deals if he wants to win this season. Every team.....literally every contending team is doing it.  If we don’t, we’re just wasting Josh’s rookie contract advantage.  You’re in it to win it.....or you’re not.  Restructuring contracts and kicking the cap implications IS part of being a champion.  Every team that wins Super Bowls does this.  If we don’t, we probably won’t win one

    I dont exactly agree but I 100% see your point. Yes the chiefs did this and now got Thuney but they overpaid. Hes a one time pro bowler. Im all with it if Beane doesn't want to restructure a bunch of guys and possibly risk our future in doing so. If he does it im on board but hes not gonna go all out this year and mortgage the future if thats what he thinks restructuring could do. This is the saints strategy and they have been in terrible cap shape for years, Beane definitely doesnt want that.

  6. Im really high on curtis samuel, I think he could do great with us. Id cut brown, and let little dirty(mckenzie) walk to make space, with this id want to draft or get a udfa who can return kicks or bring back roberts for cheap. I like henry a lot but prefer samuel because hes younger and doesnt have all the injury history. With this id also try to target Pat Friermuth in the 2nd or Brevin Jordan in the 2nd or 3rd and a LB or OG in the first
