    Very thoughtful very articulated position on a WR who will challenge 1000 yards and a guy who can help in the red zone. Josh is tired of smaller guys and wants some targets who catch in contested situations. You might be right on Coleman (who  knows) but alligator arms had the highest catch rate per target in the NFL last year. 

    Contested catches are no way to make a living in the modern NFL. 
     

    They make fun highlights. They are not among the great WR’s. There hasn’t been a great contested catch WR in the top 15 in like 15 years.

    Nobody in the NFL is running away from people consistently except for guys like Tyreek Hill. Diggs wasn't doing that. A WR's job is to create leverage at the catch point to open up a throwing window, then catch the ball, then make something happen with the ball in their hands if there's an opportunity. Coleman I believe can do all of that. And he's going to really work at his craft.

    His ceiling is a high target volume low efficiency 1k yard season. He’ll average 700-800 yards per year in his career at most.

     

    I am puking.

    I just looked back at Kelvin Benjamin's scouting report. Guess what his 40 time was? 4.61. Guess what the report said? "Plays faster"

    It's a Beane/McD thing. They've been trying to find that big receiver since they came to Buffalo. One epic fail (Benjamin), one moderate success (Gabe). Third time is a Hall of Famer.

    Devin Funchess (bust)

    I'm a tad nervous because I've been pumping up Coleman as a great pick, and now if he sucks I'm gonna look stupid. But man his size and competitiveness and hands just get me really excited. Allen is a gunslinger. He just got his guy he can launch the ball to downfield 1v1.

    He’s Devin Funchess dude. I hope you are right.

    How on Earth is this nonsense 10 pages already?  LMAO

     

    Guess y'all didn't learn your lesson in yesterday's like 80 pager on how we are gonna make a big move up in the draft nonsense lol.  

     

     

     

    Diggs trade only increased his cap hit $3M...thats a BIG difference in the $16M it jumps SF cap hit.  

     

    It doesn’t. It frees up 6M

    The issue isn't the Niners saving cap space, but how would the Bills fit Deebo's 20.9M base salary into a $2M cap

    Riddle me this: How are the 49ers -- themselves just $6million under the salary cap -- going to eat the amount of Deebo or Aiyuk's cap hit it would take to make this trade possible? Please, by all means, explain it to me.



     

     

    Tell that to this dude who thought he checkmated me with this gem lmao

    Awesome!

    For your next trick, please explain how a trade for Deebo Samuel would be possible.

    I beg you. 

    I'm dying to hear your explanation of how to make this work. 

    I don't know how else to explain the difference between "believing it's very unlikely a player will be traded away due to the dead cap hit it would create" and "it's literally not mathematically possible to trade for some of the guys Bills fans seem to want".

    But please, PLEASE....explain to us how they can do it.


    Oh for *****'s sake. 

    Ya know what? Nevermind.

    I've already spent far too much time talking to a wall here.

    Believe what you want. 

    Haha. I know the salary cap terms like dead cap and cap hit get confusing but the 9ers definitely save money trading Deebo. Took a 5 second google search to prove. 
     

    You can just admit you don’t know what you’re talking about lmao

    @Warriorspikes51 @GoBills808 So do we want to keep doing this for a while longer, or?

    And before anyone points out the "nearly" part in that post: It refers to the (incredibly unlikely) possibility of the team we're trading with agreeing to pay the player's salary this year. For various reasons, that's simply not gonna happen.

    “There’s no way we’re paying an extra $3M to have Diggs play elsewhere” energy

    Nope. 

    That was different.

    That instance of saying "can't" was people overstating the unlikelihood of trading Diggs because of the dead cap it would create.

    THIS instance of saying "can't" is because they LITERALLY CAN'T. Teams HAVE to be cap compliant at this point in the year. The Bills, by trading for any of the veteran receivers with high cap hits, would be over the cap. You can't negotiate with a player while he's on another team. A trade submitted to the league where the acquiring team would be put over the salary cap by the acquisition will be declined.


    I'm not saying it's unlikely. I'm saying that NFL rules make it literally impossible. Significant difference.


     


    Or just an understanding of league rules.


     


    NFL rules do NOT allow this.

    Are we allowed to restructure Josh again?
