If Beane is loading up on guys like Hollins, Morrow, and Cam Lewis, please bring back Ty Johnson a dude who actually helped us win games at the end of the year.

This is exactly the type of guy who might come here on a 1 year incentive laden deal.

That’s awesome for him. Life changing money.

Is this a Russell Wilson type situation where the old team is still responsible for done if the salary?
No. None of remaining money owed was guaranteed.

As long as he’s competing with Shorter for the 5th WR spot and only sees time on offense if there are injuries, I’m fine with it. If this is Gabe’s replacement, not fine with.

Why is that even necessary? Why spend money on a retread WR when you can draft as good and possibly better player with your 28th pick in a deep WR draft for 1/3rd the price. The goal this off-season is to get younger and cheaper, but at WR it's also a goal to upgrade the talent. Adding an injury prone 600 yard receiver for $10 mill is a huge waste of resources, especially when that 2nd boundary position could be Josh's 6th most popular target behind Diggs, Kincaid, Shakir, Knox and Cook. Sorry, I just don't see the need for big $ FA help at WR.
Let’s stop surrounding Josh with the Trent Sherfield’s, Deonte Hardy’s of the world. 30 year old Diggs, Shakir, and a rookie WR ain’t enough and if anybody gets injured, it will be criminal spending another year with Josh throwing the ball to Sherfield level dudes trying to beat Mahomes in the playoffs. Brown and Samuel were both 1st round talents, are still in their primes, and have put up decent numbers with QB’s half as good as Josh.

Don't expect any major money invested here. When guys like Mooney are getting $10+ a year, Beane is going to stay far far away.
No, but I think we are now in a position to go up to $10m on a 1 year deal for a marquise brown or curtis samuel if the market isn’t what they want.

With the signing of Morrow, the team breakdown now looks as follows (not including futures/reserve players
Total current players =
Offense 17 of 23 players (roster allocation to the position from 2023 in (x)).
QB (2) - current 2: Allen & Trubisky
RB/FB (4) - current 2: Cook & Gilliam
TE (3) - current 3: Kincaid, Knox, Morris
WR (5) - current 3: Diggs, Shakir, & Shorter
Oline (9) - current 7: Brown, Dawkins, McGovern, Torrence, Edwards, Anderson & Van Denmark (Doyle still in the mix)
Defense 18 of 25 players
Dline (10) - Current 6 - Jones, Oliver, Rousseau, Miller, Jonathan, & Epenesa (Cline and Ankou also in the mix)
LBs (5) - current 5 - Milano, Benard, Williams, Morrow, & Spector
CB (6) - current 4 - Johnson, Douglas, Benford, & Elam
S (4) - Current 3 - Rapp, Hamlin, & Lewis (CB)
Specialists 4 of 3 slots - Bass (PK), Ferguson (LS), Martin (P) & Haack (P) - one of Haack or Martin aren't going to make the team.
Looks like there are 13 jobs still available - 2 RB, 2 WR, 2 OL, 4 DL, 2 CB & 1 S. My guess is 6-7 of these jobs will go to draft picks (WR, S, CB, OL, RB, 2DL?). Still hopeful Ty Johnson returns at RB.
Beane has done a crazy amount of work the last 7 days getting the cap in order and filling a lot of roster spots. Phase 1 was getting cap in order. Phase 2 was re-building the roster depth. Phase 3 now dipping tie into free agency and seeing if we can land a WR still available. Same with safety and d-line. Some intriguing options still out there. Will also be interesting what Chargers do to get under the cap. We are in way better shape than I thought we’d be in 7 days ago.

If he’s better than Matekevich and Klein, I’m good. We might’ve actually won the Chiefs game if we weren’t down to Klein.

I found these graphics to be EXCELLENT when trying to quantify Jones' impact on our defense. It compares the Bills' defensive numbers when Jones was in the lineup vs when he wasn't.
Pretty irrefutable evidence that he had a major positive impact on the Bills defense.
Jones is solid but those numbers could be skewed by how bad his backups were. When Phillips played, he didn’t even try to hold the point of attack. Just tried to get in the backfield without any regard for the run game.
-
So glad Beane spent most of 2023 free agency bringing in the Poona Ford’s of the world to protect what turned out to be a 4th round pick.

Just get rid of comp picks. If NFL can’t even correctly compute their own formulas, it’s beyond time to eliminate it. Same with the minority coach comp picks. It’s a noble intention but find a better way to incentivize it or penalize a lack of diversity.

That's a lot of dough for a career backup coming off an ACL tear
That's not a shot at Hines, just surprised at that deal
‘Up to $3.5m’… I’d guess $2m max in guarantees
-
Not a huge fan, but don’t mind giving Epenesa $7m per year. There’s still some potential upside there. Can do a lot worse with your 3rd Defensive End. Now we need a legit 1 Tech.
-
I’m sure these guys appreciate Harbaugh not cutting them until after a lot of free agency money has already been committed.
-
Giants seem like they’re in complete rebuild mode. Would you trade pick 28 for Dexter Lawrence? I would. Dude is a difference maker.
-
maybe a negotiating ploy. Clearly Beane trying to rework a lot of contracts.
-
I bet Poyer comes back on a 1 year $3m deal. Seems like type of dude who’s too proud to take a paycut and I respect that. Same thing happened last year but he was a free agent. This year Beane did him favor cutting him before free agency so he can shop his services but if he doesn’t retire I bet he ends up back in Buffalo. Could see same for Tre if he doesnt retire.

My guess is Knox reworked deal is very similar to Hunter Henry’s 3 year $27m deal with $15 guaranteed. He’s trading his bigger deal for more guaranteed money. Bills want him on team next couple of years but at a lower number.

Happy to hear. Would’ve been bad for locker room if guys like Poyer and Morse are getting cut and Knox’s horrible contract wasn’t touched because he’s Josh’s buddy.

Kudus to the Steelers. This is a completely one-sided deal. Even if Pickett wins the job, there are always QB injuries and a desperate win now team would probably unload a 2nd rounder for that contract if a Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Purdue, Hurts goes down. Heck they could probably flip him for a 3rd rounder on the 2nd day of the draft once the 1st round QB’s are taken.

This is due to his Denver contract containing offset language. Whatever he gets paid this season by another team gets deducted from what Denver has to pay him.
Also the Steelers play at Denver this year.
I understand that but Pittsburgh has zero skin in the game. What happens if a QB they didn’t think would be there lasts until their pick? Or let’s say Pickett looks decent in training camp. Or Pittsburgh starts 0-2 with Wilson starting. Feels like Wilson is trying too hard to show people he still wants to play. Even $5m from Pittsburgh shows some commitment towards Wilson.

His contract is a dollar for dollar offset, so he doesn’t get a penny more of actual money unless he gets paid more than $39 million. The part that isn’t offset is the salary cap, so “earning” more would only hurt the team’s salary cap.
I get that. I’m just saying the Steelers can move on from him like they’re cutting the 90th man on the roster. A top QB could fall to them in the draft. If Pickett is even close to him in training camp, they’ll go with Pickett since he’s under contract for at least 2 more years. To the Steelers that contract is the equivalent of training camp fodder.
-
Weird. I get that Denver is on the hook for $39m, but if I’m Wilson I’d want the Steelers to commit more to me than the vet minimum. Steelers can move on or cut him if he struggles at all without thinking twice.

Josh Allen is our QB. Stop rolling with the Harty’s, Sherfield’s, Mick Collins’s, and Shorter’s of the world as your 4th and 5th Wide outs. A more talented guy who hasn’t gotten deal he wants in free agency will take a 1 year incentive laden deal to be WR 3 or 4 for a shot to play with Allen. To heck with playing the comp pick game. How’d that turn out this year? Beane did everything to protect that 3rd rounder and we’re stuck with Sherfield dropping passes in playoff games.
