Thats after the Saints did a lot of restructuring. Bills haven’t started yet. The key to pushing cap back is doing it with under 30 players that are good. Bills are in good shape moving forward.

He wants to be traded.

They can get any player they want. Just because a player has a $25 million per year average doesn’t mean their cap hit is $25 million. Look at future Bills contracts. They really don’t have any must sign players coming up. No elite players due a contract soon. They have the ability to get out of 3 huge contracts over the next couple years, Miller, Diggs, and White. So they have room for a big contract backloaded. Like last year they were in a similar situation but still gave Ed Oliver 4 years $68 million. His 1st year cap # was $5 million or so. Von Miller’s $120 million contract was also $5 million in year 1. Deonte Harty’s $10 million deal was $4 million year 1. It’s all about years and structure. Bills can do anything they want, just push big cap to the future.

But they could’ve done this anyway. The biggest thing it changes is future cap management. They likely projected where the cap would be 2-3 years down the road. Now they have a better idea. Still probably doesn’t change much. Josh Allen just became a $60+ million QB with this news.

To me it doesn’t change a whole lot. Most of the moves that got us to $25 under were simple moves that the Bills make no matter what. Also we have to remember that contracts are mostly done by cap %. Meaning every player in the league just got a raise also. Cap going up doesn’t really change plans.

Wait until Von gets suspended and see how the Bills treat him.

That’s basically how it goes. Accused names should always be sealed in any rape investigation. I’m not sure why they aren’t.

There were so many layers to this that I don’t understand why people were shocked the Bills would eliminate the distraction. Also remember they were the Super Bowl favorites, so all eyes on them. And sad to say he was just a rookie punter. The NfL probably should’ve put him on the exempt list until it all concluded.

I’m asking about the pretext call. Did that happen? There were so many levels to this. Remember Brandon Beane said certain things they were told by Araiza weren’t true. I dont think the Bills thought he was guilty. It seems like Araiza left out key details of the investigation and Beane felt lied to.

I have a question as I haven’t followed the case closely for a while. Was the pretext phone call also fake?

Chiefs got rid of their $25+million WR. They got cap space and 5 draft picks to fill their roster. There is zero chance Bills fans would’ve said trade Diggs a couple years ago instead of extending him. Patriots and Chiefs are similar where they never broke the bank for offensive weapons for their all world QB. Only smart team friendly moves. Even Randy Moss was acquired by NE for cheap.

Ugh. Really? It took the entire year for his name to be cleared. What did you want the Bills to do? They definitely couldn’t play him.

They might even win a Super Bowl or something.

Probably saves a few million in cap if Araiza works out for them.

Good thing is we don’t make them punt in the playoffs.

I think they’d be interchangeable. He and Shakir would be similar roles though. Bills might be looking for straight field stretchers. I wouldn’t be shocked if they draft 2 sprinters. Samuel is more of a horizontal WR. Get the ball in his hands. I don’t really know enough about Brady. As OC in Buffalo he was very much horizontal with his play calling. A lot of WR screens. Samuel fits that more than even Diggs does. So does Shakir.

Yeah. That would be a nice group, especially with Kincaid and Cook.

Sherfield? He’d be our Gabe Davis replacement.

He’s been made.

If the Chiefs were forced to choose a combo of Reid and Allen or McDermott and Mahomes which would they choose?

Higgins isn’t the type that gets a ton of separation. He’s open even when covered.

He use to be near the top. He fell. Diggs went from 7th open score to 21st. This is WR/TE. Not too bad of a drop, but a significant drop. Diggs went from 4th overall to 67th. 😬 https://espnanalytics.com/rtm/

It’s a test.
