If he wants to make the team, he's going to also have to be a good gunner and beat out Taiwan Jones. Don't see them using 2 RB spots for strictly Special Teamers.

Talked to one of my friends who's a Dolphin fan and asked him what went wrong in Miami:
QuoteI’m not sure why it didn’t work out. I know he lost a couple fumbles but I don’t think that was so bad as to consign him to the doghouse as long as he was. Miami needed a home run threat yet refused to use him most of the year. My guess is attitude/practice but that’s a guess informed only by knowing what a premium Coach Flo puts on that.

Would it be completely out of the conversation that Breida becomes our #1 back by opening day?
No, I don't think it's completely out of the realm of possibility. Just like it's not completely out the realm of possibility that he is part of a competition in a crowded backfield, finds himself the odd man out, and doesn't even make the team.
It all comes down to whether or not we draft another RB (and how high he's picked), how Breida performs in Training Camp and the Pre-Season. And similarly, how the rest of the RB's perform.
I could be way off. But my gut says we draft another RB and then it's a 4 man competition for 3 spots. In the end, either Singletary gets traded, Breida gets cut, or it's a late round RB that ends up on our Practice Squad.

You sayThat now because you remember his time in Miami if you went back to his time in San Francisco you would say we are getting a feature back who can break a touchdown every time he touch the ball
He averaged a little over 600 yards a season in his 3 years in San Francisco and was such a "feature back" that they traded him. Not saying he's trash - but "feature back" is really overselling the move. Especially after last season.

I like Breida. But I see this more as a replacement for Yeldon and insurance more than anything else. Could easily see Singletary, Moss, Breida, and a Draft Pick battling it out for 3 positions with the odd man out being traded (if it's Singletary) or released (if it's Breida).

Looks like he lied to you...
Never spoke in absolutes. You'll also notice on the first page I said we might do a restructure and maybe make a small move or two (like Obada). But that the idea of being able to get whomever we want regardless of price (like Kyle Fuller or Jadeveon Clowney) bc he can easily find it is ridiculous.
-
Just now, JohnBonhamRocks said:
Does this move seem just enough to fit Obada or is there more activity on the horizon?
I think there's still some space after Obada. But we were reportedly over the cap by a little more than a few million as of yesterday, so a chunk goes towards first getting us out of the red.

With Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison, and A.J. Epenesa going nowhere, as well as them really liking Daryl Johnson - I don't expect anymore additions to Defensive End in FA or with a Day 1 or 2 Pick.

I don't know if it was you with whom I was talking, but the thread that I got into a debate, the other person was saying they could not possibly sign any of the three positions in the original location and that there were ways to free up money without bankrupting them for the future. I'm pretty sure I said almost exactly what he said: that he would target players who were willing to take a lower contract when the money dried up in the strange off-season. If you asked me if they were likely to sign Adoree Jackson to the contract he signed for the Giants, I would say an emphatic no. Making space to sign huge contracts is indeed how you get into cap hell.
It wasn't me. And I think we could make a small move or two with, say, a Hughes extension/re-structure. But this whole "go get em - we can find the space" mentality when a guy like Kyle Fuller or Adoree Jackson comes available is just ridiculous.

I predict he will end up doing it
I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm simply saying this rampant "he can make money" like it's a thing he'll definitively do - his words and actions (not doing it while the market dries up) speaks otherwise.

One thing I keep seeing over and over is fans saying that Brandon Beane can "easily" create more cap space without detriment. Every time someone becomes available - it's the same thing.
But I think you all should listen to Brandon's words. Just because you feel he "can" doesn't mean he will or he wants to.
Below, you'll find his latest press conference. From 37:15 - 38:47 he discusses this thought process. I've also transcribed it if you can't watch the video atm:
QuoteJoe B: This is for Brandon - when a team is so tight to the cap, like as you guys have referenced you are so often, a popular thing is people just going "okay, well, just convert this base salary into a signing bonus". But I'm just wondering what the level of caution you need to have when you actually decide to do those things? And in terms of long term ramifications - when you still have to get your franchise Quarterback under contract for the long term?
Brandon: Yeah, you know that's the big thing for us is, ya know - we haven't finalized the deal with Josh. And that's the biggest piece. Not only this year, but for years to come. And working every other deal around that. Ya know and obviously the uncertainty of the cap changed things for us. But you know, you can fit as much as you want, as you well know with converting and restructuring and all these things. But the more you do that, the more you kick it down the road. And so - not that we won't use it - but this year, we had to already be a little more creative than I had planned a year ago, Joe. But it's not something I want to make a habit of. I like to be able to not have an albatross staring at me, ya know, the next two years down the road. So we'll try and keep deals so that we can get in and get out of them and not, ya know, all of a sudden you get right to the threshold and you gotta every year release 4, 5, or 6 players just to get under the Cap. It's just - I've been a part of that before and it's not something I enjoy doing.

Pegs has his name on the PSU hockey arena, I’m sure they can vet him to the greatest extent in the event that he could fall
He's not the only one who will be vetting him. If he checks out okay, no way he makes it to the 30. If he doesn't and falls ALL the way to 30 - that means he's untouchable to The Process. Just not gonna happen any way you slice it. This is not the regime to take a chance a guy with issues.
-
If character concerns have him dropping that badly - then he'll drop past us as well. If almost every team in the league isn't interested bc of his character - you better believe Beane and McDermott won't be as well.

If we would have done more (/had more money to spend) in Free Agency - I probably wouldn't be opposed. But since we were basically only able to bring back our own - that 30th pick is necessary.
Also, from the other team's perspective - unless they are in the Super Bowl - they'd end up giving up more than a 30th the following year. And if it's a Houston Texans situation - they'd be giving up a *lot* more. Don't think many teams would be interested in that trade.

only bills fans would say he’s a 5th WR and not part of the 2-4 rotation thoughEither way - it's about playing time and opportunities. And there's no arguing with the type of WR core we already have that he'd get anywhere close to the amount of balls here that he would get almost anywhere else if everyone stayed healthy.

Where are the broncos finding this money?
Why don't they waive Von Miller?!
Come on? We need him to win a Super Bowl!
There was some speculation that he might be released if he didn't restructure because the option was quite pricey. Tho he didn't re-structure - they bit the bullet and picked up the option to retain him. He's not going anywhere.

I know the patient Beane crowd will disagree, but a few nice 8-10 M deals we should of moved some money and took a shot at. Also no, we would not have had to "mortgage the future" to do so either. Fuller and Peterson both would have been awesome upgrades, even for a year.
It doesn't really matter what you, me, or anyone thinks. What matters is how Beane thinks and operates. And he pretty much said yesterday he's done all the re-structures he was interested in doing with Mitch Morse, Vernon Butler, Mario Addison, and Tyler Matakevitch (on top of the releases of John Brown and Quinton Jefferson and the trade of Lee Smith). He has already done a bunch.
Could he possibly do more? Yes. But maybe the player isn't interested. Maybe it's not as simple to kick certain ones down the road with his plan for future seasons. If his words aren't enough, his not doing more while the market is dwindling should tell you all you need to know.

Beane works under the radar...
He does. But the only way it made any sense he was coming here to be the 5th WR was if he had absolutely no market. It appears he does.

Somebody check on the "we're trading for Mack/Fuller!" crowd. Hope they're okay.

That's what I mean though. Last season, we carried Singletary, Moss, Yeldon, and Jones. If you're of the mind that Jones is staying, unless we're going to carry 5 RB's (and as such, taking away from a different position) - I can't see us keeping 2 RB's who provide nothing in the Running game and are strictly Special Teamers.
