Looking at it a lot of our top salaries have to go. We have talked about Knox obviously. I expect him to take a big pay cut but how much can we honestly ask him to take is the question. Even average Tight Ends now are making 8-9 million dollars a season now. We do have leverage with how Jackson Hawes has looked but I think its reasonable to ask him to take about an 8-9 million dollar straight pay cut. That way the Bills save 9 million dollars either way with him taking a pay cut or release. Curtis Samuel (6.3) Taylor Rapp(3.3) are definitely gone, and I think its likely that Tyler Bass(2.9) will be gone as well. Thats about 12.5 million right there. Add in Knox 9 million and we're talking 21 million dollars freed with just those 4. The real question is how far do you want to take the remake of the team. We could let Taron Johnson go and I think I'd put it as unlikely as of right now but I think we all agree his play has significantly dropped and a post June 1st cut would save this team another 8.7 million dollars. I think they will keep him for next year though. Beyond that we are getting whatever the cap jumps to this year. The projections show between 20-25 million That is projected to be Add 21 million and the salary cap is supposed. So we should be looking at give or take 40 million dollars since we are slightly over the salary cap right now.

He was not that good in college and he was even worse in the pros: yes it was a wasted pick but at least the Bills got something for him. So far the trade is: Cowboys receive: Kaiir Elam CB Ajani Cornelius OT Bills receive: Jordan Hancock DB 2026 7th rounder TBD

ACL/MCL last year

This is why I’m like let’s do this. He would instantly be our best guy either the end of this year or next. Add a high round draft pick and a vet and all of a sudden the WR corps with Kincaid and Shakir becomes pretty decent

Well if your Beane after watching this and seeing Allen you almost have to make this move. He’d be a difference maker here and immediately your # 1 WR. When healthy he’s close to being a Jaylen Waddle type who we almost gave up a 1st rounder for. He’ll clear waivers because of his contract , injury recovery but yes please

I just think that Beane needs to shift his philosophy. Start going with size and speed. I can live with that. They are not going to give up on the character aspect. I’d just tell McDermott that it’s not working with the 220 LBs and the 190 pound Nickel that have average athleticism. He needs to start focusing on skill players. If you truly believe Kromer is the guy you believe he is, and he is damn good, then he should be able to develop a couple of cheap offensive lineman and reallocate those resources to getting a WR or two that can actually make a difference in this offense for Allen

I’m not going to get on Brady a ton for last night. Guys didn’t get open and his offensive line was abused all night. I don’t care who is calling plays or who the QB is . The Texans performance against us was very similar to what the Eagles did to Mahomes last year in the SB. The fact we were inside the 20 with a shot to win was remarkable

Maybe I’m an optimist but I see them going 5-1 to close out the season. Only loss to Philly but even at home they’re not unbeatable. To me could go 3-3 at worst 6-0 at best

He was badly lunging a lot last night . Head and shoulders way over the toes a lot last night. The rest of the offensive line also got completely dominated with maybe McGovern being the best out of the 5 but that’s not saying a lot

They’re trying to rebuild it on the fly right now to be honest. That’s why they have had so many draft picks the last two years. Unfortunately he didn’t hit on enough 2024 picks it appears. I want 2 LBs or 1 LB and a Nickel in this years draft. The LB has to be 230 plus who can run and the Nickel has to be 205 and can run. I think they realize after 8 years their small slower players aren’t working. Problem is it’s too late in Allen’s career to just now realize that should have happened years ago

He's had a bad stretch of games for sure and tonight wasn't good. It kind of irritated me that he was laughing and smiling after the game with a Texans player especially when he had a huge penalty that put the Bills in a much tougher situation. I get it its a job for them compared to us but still I just shake my head seeing that.

Just in general I enjoy watching but I don't really get too invested in the regular season. I know the Bills are good enough to get to the playoffs and yes I believe they will be in the playoffs and thats when it truly matters. If we continue to play like we have on the road though we wont be there very long. I'm frustrated a bit tonight for the obvious reasons but I refuse to let this football team ruin my next 48-72 hours. I have more important things to worry about then something I can't control.

My thoughts are that Beane has failed to get Allen the proper weapons and Allen is being forced into making bad decisions. Yes the offensive line was bad tonight but there is probably a time or 6 tonight that if anyone was open, Allen could have gotten it off without getting killed. It would also help if Allen from time to time just decides to throw the ball out of bounds. I get it most of the time it works but when the attack is coming that quick the clock has to tell you to play it smart until you can't anymore. Brady made some bone headed calls tonight for sure but I don't care who is calling this offense. We don't have adequate enough weapons and the offensive line was a joke tonight. On defense, this coaching staff refuses to get bigger and faster in the past and its catching up to them. They seem like they are finally learning their lesson by adding guys who can run in the secondary (Hairston, Bishop, Hancock) but they are still way too small at the 2nd level. Johnson is toast, Bernard hasn't been good before the injury and Milano is a shell of himself. I'm sure they were hoping for Dorian Williams to be that guy for Milano's spot but its looking like he'll be a solid backup only. There were also times that the entire defensive line in the first half was getting blown off the ball 2-3 yards by arguably one of the worst offensive lines in football but the Texans line looked like what the Bills line should be tonight. If this team is going to continue to run nickle, which they will as long as McDermott is here, Milanos and Johnson's spot needs to be upgraded as soon as possible.

Yea I said that before the replay then saw Davis wiped out the man covering him so it would have came back regardless

If the Bills pulled that out they would have absolutely stolen that game. The Bills had zero business being in this football game tonight. Better team tonight won.
