Rc2catch Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think tricky Beane likes to troll the fans at times. Everyone watching the magic trick of Ertz and boom he pulls the rabbit out of the hat and acquires OJ Howard or Rock Ya-Sin or something out of left field we are not expecting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a good player who's coming off an average year. Not saying he would have fit here but not gonna pretend he sucks. His two seasons before last years were top 10 in the league imo. QB rating 2019 65.8 2018 72.6 with low comp% and yards/tgt. I'm not lamenting the Bills not signing him but I think he 'll probably work out just fine for the Eagles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergie's ire Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 2 hours ago, Ethan in Portland said: Josh will sign an extension. It has no impact on the cap this year and very little next For those who know more about cap numbers than I do, when would we have to start paying on a signing bonus? I know they spread them out over the length of the contract, but does it spread over the last years of the current contract as well? In other words, if Josh signs tomorrow and gets an 8 year extension with an 80 million signing bonus (a crazy number, I know...Mahomes only got 10 million...but I am using a number that makes the math easy) would they pay 10 million a year starting in two years when the extension starts or 8 million a year starting this year and spread out over 10 years.

Apparently he bought a box of 1000 face masks 3 months before Covid was a thing. Guy's a genius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you get the space, you might easily never use it, and it gets rolled over to next year. Either way, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Signing bonus: Money earned by a player for signing his contract. Typically paid out within the first 12-18 months. Prorated against the salary cap for the life of the contract (five-season maximum). This is how the Cowboys could afford to give Dak Prescott a $66 million signing bonus this offseason. For cap purposes, Prescott's signing bonus counts for $13.2 million against the Cowboys' salary cap for each of the next five seasons (four-year contract plus 2025, a void year)." https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-nfl-free-agency-glossary-all-the-terms-you-need-to-know It can't be counted against the cap till it's actually paid out, but can then be prorated for five years after that.

That would be the bomb!!! **** Ertz at this point. Take your stupid yellow hair and your broke ass body and rot in the city of the ***** brotherly dogcrap. Howard or RYS would both be way better options!!! Edited August 5, 2021 by TheBeaneBandit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the obvious choice is never really a choice at all. I like to pride myself as someone who thinks outside the box, and I do enjoy browsing other teams and where their depth is. I don’t think RYS is a real option but Indy has some really decent corners and they could use offensive linemen and a defensive end wouldn’t hurt them either and we can afford to part with a guy or two.

Got it, I think. So, if Allen signs tomorrow, it sounds like part of that cap room could go toward the first year of the signing bonus, right? They could do something similar to what Dallas did with Dak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 19 hours ago, HOUSE said: Prior to training camp, general manager Brandon Beane spoke to media to address many of the most pressing topics for the Buffalo Bills. The Bills’ current cap space was brought up, but primarily in the context of the general consensus that Buffalo may want to add to the tight end group. Specifically, Beane was asked: “With the salary cap space that you do have available, do you foresee potentially something happening with a veteran player, perhaps adding to that position [tight end] before the start of the regular season?” https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2021/8/4/22608637/brandon-beane-wants-cap-space-ready-to-go-in-case-veteran-they-like-becomes-available-bills Beane always has cap space late into the summer but he’s pretty judicious with it because I can’t remember the Bills making a big addition to the roster right before Week 1. It seems to me that he tends to re-sign players late in August like White and Dawkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
