    This is an interesting question. In college football, it’s been known for years that players were getting money under the table, by “bagmen”.  Is there any evidence that nfl players get money off the books to dodge the cap?

    IDK if there is, but it would not surprise me in the slightest to find out that it is a common ploy, after all, we are talking about 32 franchises that are worth billions each, owned by people who are multi billionaires…, it’s a different world that those folk live in,

    I don’t really understand Von and Knox taking pay cuts. What leverage do the Bills have in this scenarios? They can’t really cut these guys due to the dead cap. Why do the players say yes?

    They say yes the day after they found the keys to a safe deposit box with a bag full of money in it…,

    Jags got better we got worse with thus move

    You seem to be able to see into the future.., or you just had a knee jerk reaction, remember Edmunds? And the hole 🕳 he supposedly would leave in our defense? In actuality it never happened …, and we got better because of him being let go…,

    Yes, there's a rotation. But there's a big difference between being the starter and coming off the bench in terms of reps.

     

    Khalil Mack would unequivocally move Von to rotational. AJ Epenesa got the highest number of snaps last season outside of Groot and Floyd, our starters. He saw the field 36% of the time.

     

    This would be Von's ceiling with a Mack signing. No way he agreed to hand over that money and turn it all incentives on the pretense that he would use that money to completely replace him without even a chance to show last season was a mirage and make it so that he only has 36% or less of the snaps to earn the incentives.

     

    AJ Epenesa - I can see that. A guy who can step in and take on more reps if Miller doesn't work out without completely closing the door on him Starting like a Mack would.

    So in other words AJE got the third highest snap count…,

     

    On top of that Beane’s commitment is to the overall betterment of the organization first, and player satisfaction second, it is always a business decision first and foremost. Does that potentially suck for Von? Maybe, maybe not…,

    But could you have reupped?  
     

    An HR director a few years ago asked if I might be back, when I was leaving for a new civil construction project.  "I think I have had enough of you, and I am sure you have had enough of me" was my answer.

    I could have re-upped, it was quite the experience being in the Marines, but it was time for me to look to other life options for the long term.

    I love how people think the things they don't understand aren't real. Especially when some guy who used to do the job tells you. (Cap management skills might be a reason why.)

    Humans have a real problem historically with thinking things they don’t understand are not real, it is a window into the overall level of cognitive prowess of the species…, conversely just look at the manure pile of things humans think are real…, damn frightening frankly…,

  7. I’m no doctor but I suspect that there’s not much one can do about a broken leg, (Milano) but older guys bodies are older, and likely more prone to muscle ,tendon and acl /mcl injuries, with age comes less elasticity the human body is what it is.  It’s not that these injuries can’t Happen to a 23 / 24 year old but I think you all get what I’m saying.

    And while were at it — a reminder that In the U.S.A, it's offense and defense, not offence and defence! Unless you live in Canada or Europe, in which case, cary on with your weird spellings. 

    Weird pronunciations as well, spell the word Aluminum, then listen to a Brit say it, 😂

    It's that time of year again.

     

    Everyone is excited about Free Agency.

    The league calendar is about to begin.

    The draft isn't too far away.

    The future is bright.

     

    Just as we take our first breath of spring air, we log into TBD and we see:

     

    "We need to resign DaQuan Jones."

    "I can't believe we resigned Taylor Rapp."

     

    No.

     

    "Re-sign" means to sign again.

    "Resign" means to voluntarily leave a job. It means the opposite of re-sign.

     

    Cheers, Bills Fans, to re-signing our best players and winning the Super Bowl. 🍻

    Yes, and thank you, 

     

    I’ll add, Then vs Than

    are vs our

    there vs their vs they’re

    espresso vs expreso  😂

     

    I could go on, but y’all will want to pummel me if I do, 😁🍸🚬
