Also, Mathieu released by Chiefs. While OBJ to the Chiefs may happen - he had an ACL late in the SB - he is expected to miss the majority of next year - I don’t see that helping them much for 2022. I would more likely expect to see him resign in LA similar to Ike here to rehab and be a late season plug in if they get healthy. Mathieu was released a while ago and has been on the market since before FA began. Melvin Gordon to the Ravens would fit their run first mentality - seems like another spin you wheel move - assuming any of these actually come to fruition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a risk, but we’d be betting on our top notch facilities/training staff and the fact that his usage rate wouldn’t be remotely close to what it has been. He’s the ultimate answer to the two-high safety looks. Edited April 9, 2022 by SCBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. We obviously can’t take on the entirety of that contract. If the Panthers want a pick (maybe also a player) in return to eat some of that contract… I’d listen. No way I’m offering pick 25 though.. so if that’s what it takes, I’m out. Edited April 9, 2022 by SCBills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjnick Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 CMC, often broken RB, way overpaid... what's not to like here??? We are the one taking all the risk here by trading for CMC. It would have to be like a 4 or 5th round pick for me.

H2o Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 McCaffrey is amazingly still only 25 years old, will be 26 in June. Still, he's been ridden like a broke back mule since his Freshman year at Stanford. A lot of tread on the tires for a 25 year old. But, maybe too, the Carolina training staff sucks? Idk. If we did make this move, which I wouldn't mind really, there would have to be an immediate restructuring of that God awful contract they handed him. And, there is no doubt a healthy Christian McCaffrey would be a massive upgrade to our backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Bills had a price on Nelson and possibly even a standing offer. I believe the Bills have prices on and probably offers out to other free agents CBs. Aside from Stephon Gilmore, Joe Hayden, Trae Waynes, Kyle Fuller, Chris Harris, Janoris Jenkins, Bryce Callahan, Jason Verrett, AJ Bouye, Xavier Rhodes, Greg Mabin and numerous other veteran CBs are still unsigned. While it's a foregone conclusion the Bills will draft a CB they'll also likely sign a veteran free agent. It could happen before the draft or shortly afterwards.

Nelson is a player they’ve been interested in. It’s just surprising to me they wouldn’t sign Nelson or even Wallace at these prices. Im not being critical of them, I just can’t wait to see what they do. I know there is a plan.

After the signing of Bobby Hart and then money we need to sign our Draft Picks, we only have 4-4.5 million in Cap Space. And with the Diggs deal done, we're about out of ways to clear up any more space - until after the Draft or Training Camp where we may make some releases that could free up some space, depending on how things play out. And even if something big became available and we had the money that we don't have - Beane isn't the type to pay what we're paying Tre on one side and give a big ole' bag to another CB on the other side. Which is why I fully expect a top pick so that we can have another solid CB opposite Tre, long term and cost controlled. I'd expect some help in the form of a veteran with Tre possibly out for the first few games. But it will definitely be a bargain and of the one year variety because after this season, the amount of players we'll need to re-sign or replace is a massive list.

We have the ability to clear $10 million in cap anytime. They can literally do anything they want at CB. Draft picks, especially late in the 1st are not guaranteed to be ready early in the season.

Dawkins, White, and Allen restructures. Convert base into bonus. Comes to around $10 million cap space. There are other things they can do also like extend Poyer or Edmunds. Many people are wondering that exact same thing. Why haven’t they secured a CB yet? Why not sign a CB2 over TE2 (Howard) DT4 (Phillips), DE4 (Lawson), CB4(Neal) or WR4 (McKenzie)? All those depth positions could’ve been drafted and be less than $2 million total cap. Instead they spent a decent amount of cap filling those depth roles while CB2 is left unfilled. Maybe it’s as simple as they already have a verbal agreement with someone like Joe Haden but are wait to them until after the draft. This is a very likely scenario.
