But the also normally don’t play these games at this time of the year. Agreed, the timing is a little odd. The team now has a decent assessment of what talent they have in the WR room more so than any other position due to the nature of OTA’s. Not sure really what this transaction signifies.

Did he go on waivers and all 31 other teams passed on him ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does the USFL season end and they can grab those players? Kavontae Turpin is worth a look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as to how this is helpful from a cap mechanics standpoint. Likely the terms of his deal. They might have slightly reduced his yearly cap hit for a longer number of years, is my guess. Puts it in-line with a full time special teams player. They don't have to worry about that spot for a few more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s cut, what portion of his salary does he get? Are the Bills that cheap to create cap where it won’t do any good? 1 + 1 = 3. Something in that logic of refuse $ to cut doesn’t add up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasBillsFan1 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hopefully he stays. He's a solid WR3 on any team and possibly a WR2. The dude has skills. 1 minute ago, Gugny said: Making room for Zach Ertz. That's so 2021. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocCityRoller Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 there is a June 1st date for cap cuts that affects cuts and dead money. Maybe they were waiting for June 1st to pass, and this was the earliest the 'gentelman's agreement' was made and processed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 If a few hours of paperwork saves the team $70K (either on the cap, or actual cash), why not do it? Every little bit helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytownblofan Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Although it seems weird, one thing we have learned again and again is Beane and co do everything for a very specific and calculated purpose, so shout out to Kumerow for being open to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 We definitely need another DB to start the season, imo. I wonder if there's anyone that Beane is eyeing and this is just about freeing up every last bit of cash to make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
