There's no doubt in my mind they'd pay whatever they have to pay to get those picks and load Beane up with more draft capital. Good ownership matters. The cap flexibility we have comes from an Owner willing to pay lots of Cash $$$$ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how that affects negotiations with other teams and how the cap is calculated now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR#2 targets 5-10 per game ?? OL blocks 60 plays per game KC invests heavily in OL and has a revolving door at WR. Bills invests heavily in DL and looks for scrap heap value on OL. Protect josh or we will never be a super bowl winning team....just a wannabe Top 5 or so i legit dont understand this argument. we've added 2 OL where atleast one is an upgraded starter (both are likely better than saffold, so depth or maybe 2 starters). aside from that, i dont see DHop preventing us from signing an OL right now, or we wouldve done it by now. Any addition to the OL from here out willl come from the draft, and even if we were to swing a trade for him, its not going to be a pick that excludes us from drafting an OL at a premium pick. i understand the hurdles to clear in signing him, but i dont think it stops us from upgrading at OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laugh at people that thought he had some kind of inside information or “sources.” He was trying to predict what would happen with D-Hop and now he had to backtrack. It’s astounding how many people fell for his BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Dr. Who said: I'm under the impression you can designate a cut post-June 1st ahead of the actual date. Don't know how that affects negotiations with other teams and how the cap is calculated now. You are correct, you can cut a player and designate the cut "post June 1" at any time. But, then, any cap relief doesn't come until AFTER June 1 - team has to carry the contract on their books and count it against their cap until then Post June 1 cuts, people act like it's great 'cuz it may cost less, but the cap hits don't go away, part of them are just shifted to another year. Which may or may not be what one wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordong Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Does anyone really think he is coming here? if buffalo was in the lead and they spoke to his rep about money they obviously could not come to an agreement, that is not going to change. sorry but I think its about 1% chance.... Beane has said we are not signing anyone to a contract over 2 million before the draft. Just accept Gabe stone hands as your #2 this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fine with the current group of receivers if the Bills continue to improve the OL in the draft. If Allen has time in the pocket, then the Bills will be more than fine in the passing game.

They will feel the shock soon. Burrow will be paid as the biggest contract in NFL history when his deal gets done. Chase may be looking for highest paid WR ever. And Higgins will make more than Diggs is currently making when his deal is done. There zero chance that Cinci can keep them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dynamics of their team will be changing over the next couple years. Gotta hit on their draft picks or they’ll be in a difficult position. Cinci’s best chance will be this year, but the door will be open as long as they have Burrow imo. Similar to us with 17 under center. They opportunity to catch lightning in a bottle will always be there- just have to hope that luck is in their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as 17 is our QB we have a window open. The same will be said for Cinci with Burrow. They likely won’t be able to keep both of the WRs but they will definitely keep one of them. I wonder if that will try and keep both though. Signing Higgins this year and worrying about Burrow and Chase when their time comes. Imo they would be fools to do that. But they may think they can hold out until the cap rises and they can somehow keep them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I think it's realistic that if our 1st round graded players are gone at 27, we could see something like this: #27 2024 Conditional 3rd, 2nd if AFC Champ, 1st if SB For Hopkins #34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
