I'm sorry, but if Miami wants to have two high-paid TEs, neither of whom are named "Gronkowski" or "Graham," plus the huge cap numbers for Suh, Wallace, and Tannehil, I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad thing.
-
Reading the tea leaves a bit, Miami is going to be in some trouble cap-wise next year. They've already got $128M committed to 36 players, and that's not counting Jordan Cameron. Now, in order to fit Cameron under this year's cap, his cap number has to be $6M or less (that's without creating room to sign draft picks), which means his cap number next year will be approx. $9M (at least).

That means that they're at $137M for 37 players. Now, they will probably cut Dannell Ellerbe (likely post June 1st designation), which means his dead money will be reduced from $7M down to $3.5Mish, and they can probably restructure Mike Wallace to bring his number down from $13M, but that would kick a very large can into 2017 (cap number would be about $20M and nearly half of it would be bonus money).
So realistically, we're talking about Miami being at $130M+ for 37 players, and still having to address the contracts of Olivier Vernon and Mike Pouncey.
Seeing that $28.5 million cap number for Suh in 2016 is HILARIOUS. I assume that they have a plan to restructure it at some point, but that's probably not something you want hanging out there unresolved.

Wish him all the best. That said, it probably would have been cheaper (and less painful) for them if they had managed their cap better last year and just kept Sproles.

The NFL should just cancel the the season and go with a year-round FA period. This past week has been way more entertaining than 99% of the games last year!
-
Not saying that wasn't a terrible draft (Troup alone ensures that is the case), but I don't think we're the only team saying that five years out. I just took a quick look at that draft and sorted by team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_NFL_draft) and note that there are a bunch of teams without anyone left from 2010 -- e.g., Indy, Detroit (now that Suh is gone).

DeMarco reminds me of a girl made at her boyfriend for not paying attention to her so she runs to another guy to make him jealous and waiting for him to beg her to come back . With this Dallas-Philly thing.
Might want to avoid the relationship analogies when talking about DeMarco.

Kiko comes in and makes this defense better. Right now we have stayed the same from last year...pre draft of course. The jets and phins both improved their defense greatly...I'd say Miami is slightly behind us right now defensively but not by much and the jets I think have the best defense in the league and could get better should they go defense with that number 6 pick. We could have signed Murray and he could have a similar impact as shady. we will see.
Really? In the entire NFL?

You shouldn't be allowed to start a thread again, ever.
This wins the internet for today.

I'm going to miss his 9th inning heroics. Dude was a heck of a closer!
-
This story basically encapsulates the offseason so far. Guy runs as fast as he can away from the sinking ship that is the 49ers, but quickly realizes that the Eagles are also approaching train wreck status and goes somewhere else.
-
Couldn't both of those "nuggets" also be characterized as common sense?
-
Isn't he basically a PED suspension waiting to happen?
Not to brag, but called it: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/06/report-laron-landry-suspended-10-games-for-violating-ped-policy/

Aaron Rodgers - QB
J.J. Watt - DE
Marshall Yanda - OG
Luke Kuechly - MLB
Rob Gronkowski - TE
Anything short of that (although I could probably live with Luck instead of Rodgers), and Doug needs to go!
-
Marshall and Harvin competing for passes from Geno Smith -- what could possibly go wrong with that scenario????
-
He's not going to refuse to be a Bill. I really believe that this entire" he's not happy" thing is nothing more than a calculated attempt to re-work his contract in light of the fact that his 2016 salary isn't guaranteed. I'm not a cap person, but I would think that his contract can be re-done in a way that benefits both sides (i.e., spreading out the cap hit over time, but also guaranteeing more future money). Remember, Drew Rosenhaus is his agent and he is not going to let his client crater a deal simply because of a temper tantrum over having to move 350 miles away (TO notwithstanding). It's all about the money.
-
The Cowboys. A year or two from now, you can add either the Bills or Eagles to that list, but for now the Cowboys are the clear winners of this trade.
-
In light of the McCoy-Kiko trade, I think it's safe to say that this thread might be just a touch off. The trade may turn out horribly for us (although I don't think that will be the case) but this is definitely NOT the same old Bills.
-
It's going to be really interesting to see what the plan is at QB. On the one hand, having a top tier RB means that they can run a low risk passing game with a half decent veteran (or even EJ). On the other hand, this is an "all in" move, so you really can't take any chances.

How is it still snowing on April 1st?!?!

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 1m1 minute ago
Judge Doty has overturned Adrian Peterson decision and Peterson now will be reinstated, per source.
So does that mean that he didn't miss a single paycheck and was essentially on a paid suspension the entire time?
-
Whaley really has a ton of incentive to get this done. If Hughes has a couple more seasons like the last two, the trade with Indy goes down as one of the best in team history, and probably even league wide (at least in recent history). That only happens if he stays in Buffalo.
-
Now I'm done!
Of course he does. Who wouldn't want to get paid millions for something they arent good at and can just wear a visor?
I actually give him some credit here. Long term, the broadcasting gig could be more financially lucrative (he certainly isn't going to be getting a big contract now) and much less work. Fox seemed to be high on him as an analyst, so he really did have options.
Now, would I actually want to see the Bills take a shot with him? That's another story.
-
We've always known that he's a larger-than-life personality, but I really have been impressed by the way he just "gets it." He genuinely seems to know how important the team is to the community and its fans. If he can actually produce on the field (and this is obviously a big IF), he could turn out to be a legendary figure in Bills history when this is all over.

Miss him? Yes
Want him on the team today? Sorry, but no.

In terms of annual salary, isn't that what he supposedly turned down from the Bills? Not sure about guarantees, options, etc.
