Could end up being a sneaky good move for the Steelers. Russ is a big upgrade over Pickett, regardless of his last 2 years...threw 26 TDs and only 8 INTs last year and was benched in December.

I’d give up one of those 4th round picks we got instead of taking a 2nd WR in the draft. But that’s about it.
Meh...then you gotta take on that cap hit and/or pay him soon.
It's his final year and his cap hit is $15.8 million this year. Likely will want an extension of $20+ million if he has a good year...
No thanks.

I'm sure they look at it...they are on the cutting edge of sports science in terms of making sure players get rest, treatments, etc...
Issue is with a lot of their injuries they aren't the type of you can prevent.
Broken legs, Achilles tears, a player rolling into the legs of a player, etc...
It's not like they had constant soft tissue injuries like hamstring pulls, etc.

Too bad he plays more like Judge Judy.

Todays cuts had me thinking about the last time we mass released some beloved veteran players. Although I can safely say that I support today's moves and didnt support the cuts in 2000. Todays moves seem professional and done respectfully but I didn't get that feeling about Bruce, Thurman and Andre's release. That smacked of disrespect and cheapness. How do you remember Black Thursday 2000?

It's not even close.
They were good players for us, but those were 3 HOF players, the all-time sack leader and likely greatest Bill to ever play(Josh may take that eventually). How is that even a comparison?

Once Allen's restructure is completed the Bills will have $20-22 million to spend in FA and for the draft pool. Not huge amounts but they can sign a number of budget FAs with that money.
15 minutes ago, 78thealltimegreat said:Is this the current cap with the Tre White release or without? Since the 10 million from Tre roles off after June 1 seems this would make them cap compliant before doing anything further
They don't have until June 1st, they have to be cap compliant by next week or the week after I believe.

Yeah and that is going to drive prices down

Likely a low deal...I think Pit still owes him guaranteed money don't they? Bills probably offsetting some of that.

Are they allowed to release a player that is still injured? I thought you had to do an injury settlement.

First, I like any man whose name rhymes with "shindig." Second, I have no idea what "chartreuse" is.
It's a color!

Didn't he sign a one-year deal?
Void years to spread the cap hit

Good...even more important after Bates was traded.

Title says it all. I think he's a stud that we could get for a fairly reasonable contract and plug an immediate hole.. Thoughts?
No. He is clearly heading downward...no need to add aging expensive players who are over the hill but who still think they are worth big money.

If you get him, our defense is better and New England is worse.
If you dont, great! You forced New England to pay.
I think that's a no brainer, given the need at safety.
Why? The Patriots have 101 million in cap space, they would match whatever the Bills did. The Bills don't even have enough cap space to do it to begin with now and his starting point is $14 million a year.
That's never happening for a safety where the Bills likely feel they can bring in guys in the 5th and 6th rounds. Where do people come up with these nonsense ideas without even knowing how much it would cost and the team cap space?

He had his best season last year. I'm not in the business of trading quality LTs in their prime to create another hole on the OLine after we just got it set up nicely last year finally.

Beane loading up on draft capital to move around as needed.

Recruiters for big time collegiate sports programs don't give a real picture of what's really expected of college athletes. They sell them on an idealized picture of getting a free education plus perks doing something they love to do anyway. What they don't tell them is the cost that they'll be expected to pay. Student-athletes are always under pressure to perform at the highest level no matter the sacrifice but somehow that doesn't find its way into recruiters' spiel.
It was that way in the 1970s, and it's still that way in the 2020s.
It helps when they had people doing their homework for them and taking their tests for them, which was likely far more prevalent back then than it is now since everyone is watching these days. Or simply taking the easiest classes they could enroll for.

I don't care about speed, I care about him getting it right to the greatest degree possible.
As all-time great college basketball coach John Wooden who won multiple National Championships used to say "Be quick, but don't hurry."

Tua has been best QB in the league for the past two years (weeks 1-4).
Yes, the easiest time before teams get a bead on your gameplans and DC's are playing catchup. But he didn't look so great against the Bills during that time.

Sounds like Lamar in playoffs other than he can run as well.
Lamar just plays his worst when the stakes are the highest, he has the talent to play great, but he just doesn't. Tua simply can't.

Incredibly bad decision. If I was Pittman, the starting point for any negotiations for a long terms deal are now $22 million a year minus a small amount for security. I don't see where he would have gotten that contract in UFA. He is a good receiver, but nowhere near a top 5 one

Jones was not underperforming at all...he was on pace to be an all-Pro before he got injured...dude was not blockable on the DL the first 4 games.
