Sorry to be that person, I just dont see how it can be anything big with the cap space we have. I think shes was misinformed and will later state that her info was wrong It's been pointed out in several threads that if Beane feels it would benefit the team, he can clear a buttload of cap space in a hurry by renegotiating Dawkins and White's contracts to convert salary to signing bonus. So I don't see cap space as too much of a hindrance if there's a move Beane truly sees as a potential game-changer for the franchise. But I think he would have to view it as game-changer, not as an incremental improvement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuller could be a game changer though, he is nearly a lock down corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo03 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm starting at this point to think this is a BIG player. Ertz couldn't possibly be this long could it? I like Ertz, I think he is a great player and will make our offense even better but i feel this is going the direction of a huge trade.

TheJauronClap Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Who ever says the cap doesn’t make sense stop. Last year people said chiefs can’t sign mahomes hill Kelce Jones they did. were over the cap to start then got thuney were in talks with Trent Williams and are one of the teams in on ertz.

Which makes me believe its either Ertz, Fuller, or Mack we are targeting. I really don't believe the Pegula jet means anything. Pretty sure nothing's changed on COVID protocols and everything needs to be done virtually. Could be Sabres related. Or business related. Or personal. Either way, the jet meant nothing last season and I don't think it does this year either. I'm pretty convinced it's signing Ertz after the Eagles release him bc no one's willing to trade for a guy they know is going to get cut anyways. This falls in line with: - Emmanuel Sanders is Part 1: Part 1 as in Ertz will be acquired the same way. We have a deal in place but are waiting on the release at 4 PM. - 4 PM is not the deadline: Because 4 PM is the deadline for the Eagles. Our move will come after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a superstar, more reporters than just Cynthia Frelund would be on this. That's my thing.
