He can’t possibly cost much so I wouldn’t freak out if they acquired him and I’ll cheer for him. I don’t view him as much better than Duke though. 👍 I do appreciate the healthy back and forth on it, gives me hope for this message board. The BIlls see Duke Johnson in practice every day and haven't seen fit to elevate him to the active roster. I think that's telling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm going nuts waiting for something and that damn Montgomery tweet had me fooled.. Hines would be real nice but not my first choice for an upgrade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it would have anything to do with asking price and more just the Raiders not moving him. RBs have very little value as is, especially a rental.

ddaryl Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 The Bills salary cap situation is keeping us from making a lot of these deals. Not only are we tight this year, but we are even tighter next year. We are as of now -7.55 million against the 2023 salary cap and only 38 players counting towards that. That number will change but it still will have to be dealt with. So as much as everyone fantasizes about trades at the deadline and I know some people believe the salary cap is "Just a Number" It still has to be dealt with and we do not have much wiggle room. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not true. Next years cap will be at MINIMUM 240 million and more likely around 250 million due to Amazon TV contract kicking in. Cap concerns next year will NOT be a reason they do nothing, especially with even bigger increases coming the next 3 or 4 years after that from the other TV contracts kicking in.

NewEra Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 12 minutes ago, sven233 said: Ugh......this type of stuff is why it is so frustrating to be a fan sometimes. We aren't privy to the conversations that are going on and we don't know what is being discussed. I'm sure there are some deals that have been talked about that we would be all for making if we knew the actual details that GMs won't make for whatever their reasoning is. There are probably players and deals being discussed by us and every other team that we would think there would be no way that teams would move the player, but we could make a move on but don't. I think we all see how good this team is and one or two big time players could put us over the top. Personally, I would be all in at this point Nothing would be off limits to get talent in here no matter what picks we are talking about. We have a lot of core guys under contract already and while picks are valuable, if you use them on the right pieces to pick up, you won't miss one draft and it won't kill this team long term. It's time to be aggressive and take our swing. If it works out, nobody will care what we gave up. If it doesn't, one year of losing out on draft picks isn't going to mortgage our future either. That said, it is going to be frustrating to watch other teams around us working to get better and close the gap on us while we stand pat. We haven't won anything yet, but we are the hunted right now. I want to make the gap larger, not watch teams close in. Now's the time to make the moves to give us a chance to put us over the top. I just don't think Beane and company are going to be willing to give up the picks necessary to do it. Trust that Beane IS most definitely working. He’s just not going to overpay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appoo Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Negan said: Ugh come on Bills, trade some picks that might not even make the roster They don't have any holes in their roster, unless Poyer is really injured. And by giving up draft picks, they are making it more difficult to sign their star players to extensions. Davis, Oliver and Edmunds all are players the Bills will want to retain long term and need deals in the next 12 months or so. To enable that you need to be able to replace guys like Poyer, Hyde, Morse, etc with draft guys on cheap contracts Bottom Line As long as the Chiefs don't land Brian Burns then I don't really care what happens Edited November 1, 2022 by appoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
