First, we have no real idea where the cap sits other than we are most likely under. Need money for the draft class and in season moves for injury, etc. We were way up against the cap a few seasons ago and had trouble with signing late season injury players. He won’t do that again.

If the pass rush is upgraded and produces, that helps the dbacks do their job. Hopefully that’s what happened with the dline additions. Still would like to see quality safety depth.

Probably low cost. They will certainly upgrade at safety beyond him. If he sticks with good competition at the position, good for him. I just don’t expect it to be as a starter.

Why should we? Is he the best back available? Is his cap number affordable? It’s all about the $$$. A player like Saquon or Henry would be a centerpiece for us. That’s not how our offense works. I’d say Ty and Davis could provide enough at the RB position.

I’d pay an elite pass rusher 30 million and an elite RB 12 million. It’s all about market. Sorry, but Cook is a very good back…not great. Great backs last season were Saquon and Henry. Stats and game impact.

Von had some flashes for sure! Great player!

I don’t recall his play…went to many games back then and in my advanced age…forgot a lot. Other than he was an animal in stats. Thing is, how long ago was that? Maybe Mario was one of the last player with true pass rush skills since him?

I’m not. Not at all.

I agree. Dude has elite skills.

This is a Bosa to Niners breakdown. Dude does a decent job showing his skills. From this and others I’ve seen: Dude has fast hands Good feet Speed Recognition Pursuit Dictates players decision on where to go with the ball Aggressive Smooth Nose…for the ball People mover Line wrecker Continues with the play to the end These are traits this team has not seen for some time. Full package. Couple his talent with what we have? This could be a rarity of a truly great offense and great defense playing together. I am pumped for this season!!!

Loaded dline makes the linebackers better. loaded dline and better linebackers makes better defensive backs. It all adds up to a great offense and a defense that needs to be reckoned with.

Yes!! Watch old Bruce film. Dang if he doesn’t look similar. Obviously it just a small sampling, but tell me when you’ve seen any of our guys just wreck the line like that?? A few times a game and it makes a difference!

Looking at this film, we have not had a guy who can wreck a line like this since Bruce. Impose his will. He’s not Bruce, but looks petty good here. Will need to look at more game film. Defense needs to allow him to be him. Love the signing. Love BBB after dark!

I feel that is a low number for sure. Hometown discount?

I love Cook and how he hits the hole, disappears and somehow ends up gaining another 3-4 yards. Can’t say I’m stoked about his pass catching, but he’s decent. Ty, Ray and Gore Jr. certainly would make me feel pretty good if the bills decide to not break the bank for cook. Ty is a huge piece to bring back. Super stable backup for sure.

I absolutely agree. Dude is in a lot on 3rd downs for sure. Heck of a blocker. Rips off some nice runs. Had a nice game against the Broncos in the playoffs.

Excellent! Love the guy and how well he plays! Blocks, catches and runs. Feel better now if there is unrest with Cook this season.

Dang.

🤨

Gonna miss Mack, but feel Ty Johnson is very important to bring back. Especially if there is unrest with Cook.

Wanted him back. Dude was a baller. Solid blocker. Good WR. Wonder if Beane wishes he signed him to a 2 year deal last year?

If there is doubt, build the contract to reflect that. And add insurance - if a player is out, insurance can provide salary cap relief. Insurance relief If he holds out for significant time, his contract won’t “toll” and he ends up with the same contract length. I believe the player has to play 50% of the year to have the year count.

I only go to Lake St. have not had a bad pie. That’s a potential problem with multi location local restaurants, they don’t always have the ability or time to make sure the food is the same across the board. Quality can suffer when stretched.

FYI, Metcalf was traded. (says the old man yelling at kids on his lawn)

Not a great list. Free agent receivers
