Oh, jeez. I was looking at 2022, not 2021. Apologies.

The dead cap is $2 million, and the cap hit if he stays is $10 million. The difference is $8 million, with $8 million freed up if he's cut. What am I missing?

It was thrown into triple coverage. It was not an easy catch given the circumstances. Plus KC dropped two fairly easy interceptions. Not a great night for Josh.

Thanks, man, although you appear to have the wrong Addison numbers. The cap savings according to Sportrac is $8 million, not $6.1. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/mario-addison-8871/

I like White a ton, but check out these three videos:

No one on the line was good. Williams had an elite season and guys like that don't grow on trees. He's definitely worth spending some cash on.

By that point in the game, the Bills were clearly going to lose, 2 pt conversion or now. The Bills couldn't stop them at all, and the Chiefs could simply have kept dialing up easy first downs. The point is, don't make too much of that call. The better team won and could have scored 45 if they didn't take their foot off the gas.

I guess what I meant to say is that the Bills might want to view their own guy as a high-upside difference maker in coming years rather than a FA or draft pick. Tight ends take so long to develop and often flame out as pass catchers.

I just felt in retrospect that they were more likely to convert in that situation than if the game had somehow gotten closer and the outcome was in doubt.

I'd much prefer week 13 vs. KC when the Chiefs are down 3-4 key players due to injury.

That's exactly my thinking.

You have to try the two-point conversion at some point, and doing it when the Chiefs D is playing like it was garbage time (which it did on that drive) seemed like the perfect time to do it. They were a lot more lackadaisical and the Bills had a bead on them, largely because it was 38-15. The reason fans don't like the call is because it FAILED and crushed any smidgen of hope no matter how false that hope may have been (i.e., the Bills had zero chance to win the game at that point whether they converted or not). It may well have failed all three times given that the Bills don't run the ball well at all and the most effective 2 pt conversion plays are inside runs.

Knox is actually one of the league's faster tight ends (4.58 40 time).

We are getting zero comp picks. https://overthecap.com/compensatory-draft-picks-cancellation-chart/

I know this sounds crazy but I'd stick with Knox. He definitely has the physical talent and it's a hard position to learn. Next year is year four and hopefully a breakout season. It seems like a better bet than a draft pick or FA pickup.

If you're looking to save some money, Mario Addison seems like a candidate. He has a $10 million cap hit if he stays and a $2 million hit if he's cut. He's just not that good and seems easily replaceable. I mean, he's OK, but he's the ultimate DE JAG. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/mario-addison-8871/

If KC wins, the AFC will be up 28-27 in SBs. My memory is long enough to remember when the Bills were losing SBs and people said they played in the JV conference.

He counts for $10.343 million in 2021, and if they cut him his dead cap number is $5.5 million. So cutting him saves about $4.8 million.

I like Mahomes. Screw Brady.

Yeah, Watkin's Rib elaborated on that above.

He's going to get paid this summer. Just accept it.

He is going to get paid this summer, and it’ll be between $35 million and $40 million per year. Just accept it. He just had the best season ever for a Bills QB, and was good last year too. Exactly. People need to accept that a contract is happening this off-season.

I have issues with Knox, but honestly, he played well last night. Perhaps more importantly, he’s very talented physically. I’m a believer in talent and coaching it up over time. Maybe he advances to the next level given his talent.

Allen is geeting his contract this summer, not next summer. We should all just accept it.
