As long as you don’t push too much into the future, it’s smart cap management that every team does. You get to push current liabilities at today’s prices onto future cap years that are growing 7-10% every year. It’s borrowing at 0% when you know your salary goes up every year.

Post June 1 trade seems unrealistic. Teams make their big moves before the draft. And I’m not sure how a 2025 draft pick helps the Bills very much. The options are to cut him before his 2024 salary becomes guaranteed on march 14th or keep him. I suppose a 3rd option is somebody gives Bills enough trade compensation that they eat the full $31m in dead cap this year, but can’t see that happening. Diggs seems like he’s being a good soldier so far this off-season so Id be inclined to keep him.

Can we plant some PED’s on Von?

There is so much dead weight on the 2024 cap and almost zero free agents that are ‘must sign’ guys. We won 6 games in a row and took KC to the wire with a patchwork D and paying Diggs and Knox like they’re top players at their position. I really hope McBeane takes the opportunity clear a whole lot of non-performing and under performing contracts off the books.

Whatever he had Bosa doing a majority of the game just chasing Pacheco across the field and giving Mahomes huge running lanes was idiotic. Might’ve worked in 1st half but backfired in the 2nd half effectively taking away bosa’s pass rush ability.

Completely agree with this. Kickers are so important in the playoffs. You cannot win a Super Bowl with a shaky kicker. The margin is so close in these playoff games and most of the good teams have kickers who are automatic out to 55 yards.

Let’s do both and make Chiefs weaker in the process.

we gotta stop kicking the can for guys that aren’t difference makers especially on defense. I’m cutting any guy on defense except Oliver to sign Jones.

This is why the Bills gotta consider going after Chris Jones. Gotta make Chiefs weaker to beat them. And if nothing else you make him more expensive for Chiefs to sign. Jones ain’t going to a non-contender. He’ll never get his due in KC. It’s all Mahomes Kelce and the coaching. He comes to Buffalo and we win super bowl, he’ll be in reggie White territory.

I’d rather spend money on a shaky kicker, scrub special teams only guys and undersized aging defenders who get pushed around come January.

Hate on him all you want but dude backs it up.

what a moron

great play call

butker wide right? karma

Talking about this drive.

If SF kicker doesn’t choke, they’re winning

Mcduffie is such a good CB. Depressing that KC jumped us to get him.

Sounds like he knows he’s gone. Trying to leave on good terms.

Honestly if we could sign Mike Evans, I’d cut Diggs. Designate him as a post June 1 cut. Draft a WR in first 2 rounds and roll with Evans, Shakir, and rookie as your top 3. Evans would be an upgrade to Diggs on the field and would come with a lot less drama.

I’d do that trade in a heartbeat, but not sure Carolina is desperate enough for a WR to trade Burns straight up for Diggs. Seems like wishful thinking.

Yep. Maybe Carolina is desperate enough to salvage Bryce Young. They’re not getting any decent free agent to go there without over/bidding everybody by 50% and they don’t have a 1st round pick. Maybe you’d get a 3rd rounder from them or a 2nd round trade up. Can’t see anybody else desperate enough.

I don’t have a problem with Diggs, but I think it’s time for both sides to move on.

I think mcdermott showed the last 2 months he’s capable of evolving. But let’s see what he does this off-season. The Epenesa’s and light in the ass Defensive Ends are useless come playoff football. Hyde’s replacement needs to be a physical safety. I’d like to see a 1 tech upgrade to a guy like Reader. I like Douglas, Benford, Taron, and Poyer. Bernard and Milano are playmakers but undersized. Oliver is good but undersized too. All the defensive additions the off-season need to be stout, violent dudes. The defense needs to get bigger and more physical.

I’d sign a guy like Mike Williams to a 1 year deal and draft a WR in the early rounds.

We need a more violent downhill defense. Those are the defenses that perform in the playoffs. Players are banged up and the film is out there after 18 or 19 games. Undersized defenses that rely on confusing guys like Mahomes or even Burrow don’t hold up.
