I hear you. I think Evans is a pedigree player and a good locker room fit. Won a championship. This would be Hop's third team in 4 years. He has a volatile reputation, something I wouldn't want to introduce with Diggs and co. I actually think I overrated Evans' price. I think a third gets it done.

Ed is a disaster because the Bills needed a superstar in that spot. Bengals drafted Burrow, Higgins, Chase, Carman in their two crappy seasons in the first and second. The Bills drafted Allen, Edmunds, Oliver, Ford in their two crappy seasons in the first and second. They hit on 3 stars. We hit on 1. That's why Beane's presser was so embarrassing lol.

spotrac.com That's never been how it works. Trades accelerate the guarantees of the team trading the player AWAY. It's why Diggs is now untradeable for the next few years. It's why CMC had a cap hit of 600k for the 49ers last season, but is costing the Panther 26M in dead money. BB sucked at drafting.

Lol I didn't want to belabor the point, but that's how the agents will sell it. Let's pay Mike Evans instead. We can sign Deion Jones to $8-9M x 3 years with a teeny tiny cap hit and swing for the fences.

He doesn't have a $23M cap hit if traded.

This is the part that is not true. Smith MAKES $27M next season. He only costs $9M against the cap.

You said "pay him." Not cap hit. Their cap hit is spread over 4 years regardless. But he is paid for 3 years at 20M.

The Bucs are tanking. They are taking a $35M cap hit on the chin for Brady next season. Mike Evans will be 30 next year. Last year of his contract. A pre 6/1 trade costs them a massive cap penalty, 21M, with only 2M in savings. Post 6/1, they save $14M and spread it over two seasons. What does a 30 year old WR without a contract go for on a team that is about to have 2-3 years of pain? A second and a fourth?

That's not what you said. Either way, Roquan Smith IS making $20M per for 3 years. It's front-loaded, like most big contracts are, to reduce early cap hits. These contracts are pretty common in the NFL. I don't want to pay Tremaine a cap hit of $9M next year to take a $15M cap hit to cut him 2 years later.

But he's not playing for them year 4. So he plays for them for 3 years for $60M total.

No you're wrong. After year 3, if they cut him, they have a hit of $15M. Which makes it 3 years, $60M. You don't get to cut a guy and let him keep playing for you.

We just did it last year with Saffold. Paid him 6.5M, only was 4 against the cap. The thing about Roquan's contract is their "out" is really 15M of dead cap. A not so insignificant number.

So why would a guard's cap hit be on $4M next year? Only doing cap wizardry for some players?

Huh? We were #2 in points allowed. We lost to the Bengals because our offense (which averaged 28) scored 10.

My head agrees. but with how important S play has been to the Frazier D, I don’t see how Jordan walking makes us better next year. Because, IMO, Jordan walking means we need to either sign a reasonable FA or draft a DB HIGH. Neither of which are ideal. IMO, ideal off-season is reach a 2 year deal with Poyer, Edmunds walk, trade or extend Oliver to reduce his hit, and sign a middling MLB. Then you have flexibility in the draft to focus outside of S/DB (although with Hyde and Poyer old as hell, JJ sucking and Hamlin TBD, S will still need to be addressed.)

They need to draft a WR so they don’t have to pay Gabe and they have someone to take over when Diggs is old.

I love how the topic is “Eric Bieniemy isn’t a good person” and you make it about the poster. EB thanks you for your service! We’ve all choked a couple of parking lot attendants in our day. Boys will be boys!

Jeudy’s value has to be inflated by the “win now” circumstances around Wilson and Payton. I don’t think Payton is there for a 2-3 development period. I know they traded Chubb under similar circumstances, but how many trades like that do the Broncos care to make?

I got trolled and ate the trash. *****.

I'm out here posting facts baby. Don't let me get hot. You can't even dispute it. Imagine thinking that Rex is great and Leslie Frazier sucks. You know Rex got canned in like 2 years and was the biggest blunder the Pegulas ever made as Bills owners, right? Lmao.

THE REXIT. 16th in points 19 in yards last time he coached. 22nd in points per drive. He BENT and BROKE. A true defensive savant. Allowed 30+ points SIX times in 2016. Frazier has allowed 30+ points FIVE times in the last two seasons and playoffs COMBINED. Get lawst.

What in the actual *****? Rex's "pulse" is a disaster. There's no excuse for this ignorant of a comment from a Bills fan, unless you were born in 2017 Talk about asinine comments. It doesn't matter how you felt. We were top 2.

Okay? I don't really care. Andy Reid's rep was a PLAYOFF CHOKER FOR YEARS. Period Again, above.

This white washing of Andy Reid is so embarrassing. This guy was always thought of as “good coach, but a choker who can’t win a Super Bowl.”

Josh Allen can’t be mildly criticized because he’s a good player? Because you don’t want him traded for AR15? Because he’s under contract? I got nothing
