    All I know is this. Whoever the Bills select early will cause the majority  of this board to meltdown because they wanted someone else on the board. And by day 3 people will be talking about guys selected in the 6th round that they think will legitimately start this year. 

     

    Up next: People thinking every preseason cut we make will be claimed and never make it to the practice squad. 

    Every year! lol

    I bet he is talking to Dalvin and that those conversations are driving James’s words and actions.

    Agreed. Dalvin is the reason.  Unfortunately, he will likely not stop listening to his brother.

    The Salary Cap Issue

    Teams like the Eagles can outspend teams with a more traditional cap structure by 15-18%. That’s a huge advantage. The mechanism is to push out as much cap space as possible by using signing bonuses and void years rather than salary and roster bonuses. I’ll explain how that works in another post. 

    Just remember that the most important factor is cash spending. Teams have cash budgets for each year and the cap structuring follows that. There are some drawbacks and risks with the Eagles approach:

    - It is aggressive and sustainable, but it’s even keeled. There is no room to push “all in” and spike spending for a season or two. 

    - You need an owner willing to spend that much extra. There are actually very few of those. Most would rather pocket the money. Mike Brown has always pocketed what he can.

    - Teams have to bet on the right players because it is difficult to move on from the expensive ones if things sour. Myles Garrett is a good example. The Browns operate with the same cap management style as the Eagles. It’s nearly impossible for them to trade MG this offseason.

    - And the big one. The cap must co time to rise at a fairly predictable rate. If we have another Covid year where the cap falls, then there could be very big negative repercussions. 

     

    So Cincy could keep both Higgins and Chase if they wanted to, but they don’t want to spend that much money. They will be compliant with the spending floor and structure their contracts so that it looks like they don’t have much space. That gives them a story to tell their fans when they let a Tee Higgins leave. Owners like Mike Brown love this structure for that reason and they don’t care if the Eagles outspend them and get a competitive advantage. 

    Yep, they deploy a form of Ralph's cash to cap approach from the early to mid 2000's. Don't miss those days! Brown family is cheap!

    If being a loser was a crime Rodgers would be in for life…,

    4 time MVP, regardless of how he is perceived outside.  That's quite a professional accomplishment.

    Living in that area I know a ton of Ravens fans.  They are confident of course, but nervous having to play at Orchard Park.  Keyshawn Johnson on ESPN hates the Bills.  He hates the city, hates the weather, hates Allen...for whatever he just takes any opportunity to not say anything good about them.

    Can't stand Keyshawn. A complete clown on the air who obviously doesn't study up enough, and a completely overrated player.

    Sorry for that, it seemed like a press conference, and I question the validity of it myself. He seemed agitated about being compared to Josh in the playoffs, which by the numbers of course favor Josh. Not much for posting links, but I'll try and see what I can do if I can find it again

    It's parody. Many of those press conferences from many players floating around. Lamar did NOT say any of that
