I just found this latest Cap # according to overthecap.com the Bills have close to $12 million for their 2024 estimated drafted rookie contracts. I did not know we had that amount determined for this year. So at least that number means we will be spending at least 5 to 6 million on rookie contracts. So much for having all those picks. A lot of them are going to be traded away to move up in the draft.

Not buying into anything. The fact is this team has zero cash on hand to bring in any elite WR talent that has prior NFL vet experience. Hell Gabe left for $13 Mil per year to Jacksonville. You are not signing any top WR in FA without forking over at least $10 Mil a year for a WR with actual NFL experience and a top 30 talent if there is even one available which right now there isn't, and for under $10 mil per yr. It's not going to happen this year, this team needs to reposition itself as a gunslinger mentality. We have a competent serviceable D that we can subsidize with the addition of players added in the draft. WR & S needs to be the top needs at this time in the top 3 picks.

We need to go #1 WR and #2 S, Rd #3 or #4 WR. Anything else is a wash. We need to shed the 5th and 6th round picks to get back into 3rd round. Until this teams Coach and GM learns that you need to make big plays with your WR corps, when you have to have them consistently, they will never get to a SB with the retread of WR's currently on this team. You don't put on worn out tires on a formula 1 race car and expect to outrun your competition to the finish line for the checkered flag. This is McD and Beane's philosophy and they don't get it. Sad but true for 7 plus years now.

Yeah, unfortunately the consensus is the team needs to get younger and we need new talent, so far this has not happened yet. We needed to shed money to get cap friendly for 2024 & 2025. I am really hoping that we hit the draft with #1 WR, #2 S, and #3 or #4 WR. Then let the rest of the chips fall where they may. We have already been down this road and we lost last year because we could not push the ball down the field when it mattered in the entire game vs KC at home with our current WR corps. If that was not the most damning kryptonite to neutralize Josh then I don't know what else to say. We had no deep passing game at all, our longest pass was just 15 yards, KC had 32, 25, 29 yard completions. No speed at WR to get any separation and that has to be fixed this year. All to often in 2023 Buffalo came up short and did not make enough game changing plays down field, in a lot of games, when it mattered or when we need it to happen. We are one of the worst teams with YAC stats in the league. To take the next step we have to be able to do this on a consistent basis, which right now is the missing component on this offense at WR.

It's going to go #1 WR and then #2 Safety. Or this might flip 180 deg. Depending who is available and if anyone is willing to take a bunch 5 or 6 round picks to move up in the first round. Which is unlikely but possible.

I would not be surprised that Bills will package the 5 and 6 round picks to somehow get back into the 3rd round from some team. It could possibly even be SF or Philly with all the comp picks they received.

It amazes me that teams will spend so much money on a QB and not get anything for the return on their investment. This is just a team with money to lose.....

Christian McCaffrey !!

Best of wishes for him on his new team. But I was never expecting him back this year anyway. We will get someone better in the draft.

Bills win not fork over any more money in the RB position this year for a big name RB in FA, especially on Henry. It's just not going to happen. The money needs to be spent on bigger needs "Holes" in this teams roster this year.

I just don't see anything big from us on this page at all today, still some other issues that need to addressed salary wise with this team this week.

Tyler Bass should not be eliminated from this discussion. He is not worth $4.5 Mil this year. Not after his choke job last year. 82.8 FG%. We could use a new kicker, or someone brought in during training camp to compete with him.. Every $ we free up will help this team this year.

Yes

It's amazing how cut throat it gets when you are in the bottom of the league with positive cap space. And you had such a bad group of contract signings of just of a few players. Von Miller's contract is really coming to fruition on its detriment and negative effect on this team. I still think this VM contract was the worst FA signing in Bills history.

There is not much more they can do, unless the converted or reduced his contract $ and then added a load of additional incentives for this year.

It's all a pre FA posture move for Higgin's, we have to keep the money we have and hit on the WR position in the Draft. Save the money.

He needs to be pushed as the featured #1 WR on this team. The only way that happens is if you draft a stud WR in the draft or even maybe a two WR's. Then you force him to fight to maintain that #1 WR designation. Competition in training camp is what it's all about and if he can't beat the new guy out in preseason, then so be it. We will have our new #1.

I think they will do something with Josh's contract, but it won't be as drastic as everyone is looking for. I do think the Milano option trading him and getting more picks and shedding his contract could help. But he has a pretty high Dead Cap hit this year $29 mil. and his salary cap hit this year is about $12.4 mil. The mini rebuild that this team is in can work, but we need to at least get talent on both sides of the ball in the draft to plug obvious holes with rookie contracts. That is the yellow brick road back to a positive cap for 2025.

No, and the draft this year has to be the best draft they have had in the last 7 years. They need to restock the pool with young talent, that can make a difference on the field. We have had very little of this type of talent from the draft in the past 7 years. We have had a good player here and there, but seldomly has it been a home run type of draft with multiple game changing players.

It really doesn't matter, Wilson has baggage accompanying him wherever he goes. Steelers have been non existent on the offensive side of the ball since 2020. It make sense to spend just 1.2 million on a 1 year contract and see what happens. How many other teams were under .500 and have not been to a playoff game in 5 to 10 years passed on this opportunity. The Steelers are willing to push the chips into the middle of the table and see what happens. Good move since they are only committed to 1 yr and $1.2 mil on the books. Hell Wilson beat us at home with a good game and that unreal throw to the endzone. Give Pitt that type of opportunity on the "O side" of the ball and they are a completely different team.

It's the process that McD never utilized. If you can't play up to a certain standard or can't play up to your contract requirements then you're gone. Bring in some new talent, all for it !!!

Very shocking after listening to his Podcast this year, it was all about the money....

It was only a matter of time. You know when it's time to move on and unfortunately Tre was one of the obvious cuts this upcoming season.

House cleaning has begun. Beane's advice to McD today..........Its time to start drinking heavily.

Sean and Russ did not get along at all. It never would have worked between these two. They were worse than oil and water.
