DrDawkinstein Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 8 minutes ago, BrooklynBills said: Turn $11 million of his $12 million salary into a bonus leaving him with a 1 mil base salary and the bonus prorates over the final 3 seasons at roughly 3.6ish million per season. So that year 1 cap hit is about 4.8. Raises his final 2 years but the Bills have alot cap flexibility (relatively) starting in 2024. Cap will also start to rise in 2025. If I have time, I'll do a future cap post because there's a lot of doom and gloom going on about the cap and it's just not accurate. Some guys will have to be sacrificed but such is life in the NFL. But the $12M salary is irrelevant. His potential salary is $0 with no guaranteed money remaining. There is no reason to base anything off $12M. It's easier to simply start from scratch. Pretend his contract is up after this year. That is the reality that everyone is facing. Just start fresh and offer him 3/$15M with $10M guaranteed. Sure we both end up in about the same place, but the way we get there is different. Forget what the current contract says and reset by his actual value.

He certainly isnt going to get the ridiculous $12M/yr that Carolina was dumb enough to sign him to. Doesnt mean he cant play at all, or isnt good. It's just the market. Can we agree there is quite a gap between "he isn't going to get 3 more years at $12M/yr like his current contract" and "And an aging, injured RB is not making more than $5M on the open market. He becomes real cheap, actually."

And he is definitely getting that or more in FA IMO.

Getting 2-3 years out of an elite player at a reasonable cost is what makes the whole thing so enticing. He would not be a rental, he would be an addition. The Diggs trade made us good, the Von addition made us an SB favorite. A CMC trade would start the dynasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm not an advocate of giving up multiple first round picks. CMC isn't exactly reliable when it comes to his health and he is going to want to get paid. That salary will effect what the Bills can do next year. The Bills chemistry is really good. Singletary is better than average and can produce at a high level in big games. He played well in KC. I believe Beane will only go after CMC at a reduced Bills favorable price. That price is going to be below the Carolina bottom line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I don't understand why posters are suggesting players in this trade. The Panthers are looking for draft capital. They know they need a QB in next year's draft and want to secure the highest pick they can in case they don't finish last. If they do, they want multiple picks to rebuild. They'll bring in a new HC and let him pick his QB. If they can't get a 1st for him it will likely take multiple round picks including a 2nd.

Hard to say what other teams might be willing to give up for CMC. The rumors of multiple first rounders are pretty absurd. I don't see any team giving up that for a CMC with his injury risk and a devalued RB position. So I think it's plausible that 2nd round picks are in play. How good would CMC be in San Francisco's run scheme? Edited October 20, 2022 by newcam2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Fournette, after helping the Bucs win a Super Bowl, only got 3/$21M. Melvin Gordon got 2/$16M Most RB 3rd contracts are super low regardless of how heralded the RB is. 26 minutes ago, Beck Water said: I think it's a valid point that if you refer to a player as "an aging injured RB", he does not appear valuable as a trade target Luckily the GMs arent using my off the cuff remarks to base deals around. 🤣 27 minutes ago, BrooklynBills said: Well, they could tear it up and give him a new contact for sure if he agrees to that.

Send me some links on that if you have better examples than mine in Fournette and Gordon (I was looking for "big name" productive RBs getting their 3rd contract). CMC does not have 3/$36M to negotiate from. He has nothing but what he thinks he's worth or is wiling to take. He would cost us $600k this year, and then could be cut and get $0 next year, and count $0 on our cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the contract and payment thought and arrangements for the next year and a half would be thought out of in advance. CMC would love the opportunity to play for a contender. ICMC would be a fan favorite and he in turn would love playing for Buffalo and fit right in. The Bills would pay him fairly and he would accept it much in the same fashion as Diggs has. And saying Singletary played well is true, kind of like saying Smoke played well before Diggs got here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
