Yes, it's kinda cold at face value — but he got $20 million guaranteed from his last contract. If that's cold it beats the hell out of the heat I gotta live with.

[In my best Chris Rock voice] "Ok, I'll say it, I'll say it! Ann-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-ny rookie wide receiver we take in the first or second round will be better than GABE *****-IN' DA-VIS. That's right I said it. Gabe is a good guy, I will give you that, and he's made a few highlight plays, I'll give you that, but why do we have to pay him like a star? Is it his birthday or something?"

Excellent. This should take MIami back a couple notches in what they can spend on the rest of the team. I don't fear them anymore. Tyreek is 30 and can't be the same player for much longer.

Exactly. We're football fans. Not godd*** interior decorators.

First, I like any man whose name rhymes with "shindig." Second, I have no idea what "chartreuse" is.

I don't dispute that. But there's a thread for that. This thread is about a very particular theory that is now officially debunked.

He's under contract this 2024 season. Unless a restructure is 100% needed, there's no need for contract talks.

I wouldn't be against it. He turns 30 in late August so next year he would be 31. I wouldn't go beyond that. The only reason for letting him go (and after investing a 3rd round pick) I can think of is a macro D philosophy shift to more man and Douglas doesn't match up well there. In that case, why not try and trade him for a 4th or 5th? He played as well as you could have hoped for last season for the Bills.

OP had an interesting take but was wrong. Case closed.

Harty's deal was 9.5 million but for two years. Floyd's was up to $9 million for one year, based on incentives. Vastly different deals.

People are talking about cutting Douglas? Really? The guy was a turnover machine for us. And he's our most experienced CB. Who do you we sign and for how much after cutting Douglas? I'm not saying keep him for 4 more years, but he's under contract for this year and was our best CB last year.

Too bad for him, honestly, but the team has to look out for the team. I remember a theory floated here that Beane had some agreement with Hines after some restructure or something so that the Bills wouldn't cut him. Do I remember correctly? $5 million for a back-up RB is insane. Beane did what he had to do.

I don't know enough about college prospects but if the brass loves a guy way more than the other options left, say Brian Thomas as an example, I'm good with giving up a fourth and maybe a third to get him. We should have an extra third because of Edmunds, right?

Greg Cosell likes Mitchell a lot. I trust his opinion. I'd be happy with him to add an explosive element to the Offense. Is Legette's 4.39 2nd time official? If so, he just (re)made millions of dollars his first time lost him.

Holy crapy. This is almost as bad as the dating sites where (I'm told, not that there's anything wrong with that) that all the guys lie about their height (every guy claims to be at least 6' even if he's 5'8") and half the women, at least my age, subtract 5 years from their age. Shame, shame, shame...

Question with an example please: If a void year has a $3 million cap hit an the player signs with the same team for $7 million for one year, that player is technically earning $10 million ($3 million void year bonus money plus $7 million new money) for that year, right? But if that player signs with a new team for $10 million, he still gets the $3 million void-year money from his old team plus the new $10 million, right? So he's actually getting $13 million that year instead of just the $10 million. If my understanding is correct, the player is richer if he signs with a new team for the same (or relatively close to the same) money. So I think it's in the player's best financial interest not to "settle" for a new contract with void-year money if another team is going to pay around the same for that new period. Correct?

I guess we know spring has sprung when Tyreek breaks a three-year-old's arm. Who needs a groundhog when we have this fine young man.

This is both hilarious and sad. It's like a young adult saying, "I don't believe in gravity." Also an indictment of the athlete-scholarship system where total idiots not only get into a school but often emerge with a university degree.

Such an open-ended question. If we make a SuperBowl and play superbly but just happen to run into another team that plays at the same level but it's just a question of a bad bounce or something (not bad coaching like 13 Seconds), if would be hard to fault McD.

I hope I'm wrong but I'm thinking (largely due to the Chiefs but for other reasons as well) that the Bills will never be a bona fide dynasty with Allen but will be a very good team consistently with maybe one championship season over his career. I think for the term "dynasty" to apply, that means going to the SuperBowl multiple years in a row, and winning at least one if not more) and I don't see that.

Letting Douglas go makes no sense to me. So you save $10 million. And who's gonna be our number 1 or number 2 corner? And what do you pay him? You think you're gonna get a proven starter at corner for $5 million? No? So we draft that guy? And we pin our hopes on a rookie being a starter? No way.

Thanks, @GunnerBill. So I assume no talk of DE (other than keeping Von) or DT, interesting.

Can you imagine Mitch Morse saying this with a year left? Some guys, most of them younger, need (more) media training. Even if you feel it, you don't say it to the media.
