What I'm getting at is Bill's got 18 million right now.

After rookie signing (deferring lower cost players will cost around 5 million) that leaves 13 million.

Beane had said he wants 7 million or so as a buffer.

That leaves 5-6 million.

 

 

Tremendous, got it.  Thank you.

 

knew about the “buffer” but didn’t think they had really defined it.

 

5-6 million.  1 guy, maybe two depending.

 

oline, maybe or a WR.

That's fine, probably a lie, but I assure you they did not have him as their #1 quarterback in the draft like Trappasso. 

Of course not. They said something like they had him right up there with the other 1st rounders.

He talked in generalities about it.

 

Top 51 cap becomes all contracts at beginning of season.

 

53 Roster players

Injured Reserve players

Practice Squad

Extra 2-3 for "in season" injury replacements.

 

Most teams not wanting to cut it too close keep 5-10 million out of the Top 51 Cap Limit for these reasons.

Of course there are 2 June 1st designated contracts that could move some Dead Money to 2018.

He may think he can go a little more than 5-6 million.

they are bringing in a ton of slot types .   This could be a clue of what kind of offense they will run.  Bases on the receivers looks like a pats roster.  Crossing patterns all day and night 

 

With Clay slipping thru the confusion?  I would like to see more of that!

An OT with a track scholarship???

Just looked him up- he was a discus thrower.

"Has good size, but lacks adequate athletic ability and pass protection talent to hold up as an NFL tackle," according to NFL.com draft profile.  But, he didn't come to the U.S. as a football player, and doesn't have a much experience. Maybe this guy has potential? 6'7", but not a lot of numbers on the guy, otherwise.

I think it has more to do with the WR already on roster. Kelvin, Zay, Holmes, Streater, Reilly, Dupre are a lot like each other. They needed more variety hence the picks and UDFA signings, along with Kerley/Clay.

Makes up for my disappointment of missing out on that rugby player...

For 100m, no doubt.  Too early to gloss him "Blood Diamond"?  Great name, Key and Peele All-Star worthy.

...dammit I wet myself with Wahoo!......I held "my water" with Ernie "The Big Cat" Ladd, but couldn't now......BTW, did you see where we lost Bruno Sammartino this week?...remember "Big Chief White Owl" or Billy "Red" Lyons?.....Jesus, I'm OLD.............

Those guys were real wrestlers, and paved the way for Hulk et al.  RIP Bruno.

I don’t know how this guy went undrafted but this could be a huge steal for us. Dabol obviously know this guy very well and has all thi insight. This has Dabol written all over it. I hope this guy get on the roster. 

 

 

Dude looks like an Easley and 'scoe love child, with a bit of Leodis My Man mixed in.  Looks like fastest guy since Boomhauer left.

LB Corey Thompson LSU

 

I feel like Corey has been at LSU since the 90’s, that’s how long he’s been around. He was at LSU 6 years because he has spent a good part of his career injured. One year he tore his ACL, and then he missed all of 2016 with a broken leg.

He came to LSU as a highly recruited safety, but our DC moved him to Linebacker last season and he had his best season with 6 sacks.

He’s a little undersized for an NFL LB, so I think his best shot to make the team is on ST.

On paper.......that list.......I'd say that Jax and Washington raked some physical talent in UDFA.

 

Karl Malone's legitimate son KJ went to Houston........was wondering if the Bills might go back to his bloodline after modest success with his illegit first son Da'Mattress Bell.

I know absolutely nothing about Ryan Zapoticky, three minutes ago was the first time i ever saw his name, and I'm highly confident he's a better NFL prospect than Nathan Peterman. ;)
