Success Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Sounds good to me.Ā I think they'll restructure another few players to try to up the cap space to around $25-30M. Ā That will give them quite a bit of flexibility to make some needed moves. Ā 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Just now, 78thealltimegreat said: Looks like the Bills will be players in free agency after allĀ Pretty sure it's been clear all along they would restructure Josh and a few others to get enough space under the cap to be modest buyers in the free agent market. I don't see how they are going to be players on big ticket fellas. I'm hoping there is at least one solid guard that is a priority acquisition. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say this about Beane, instead of spending right up to the cap, he would be wise to dump/trade away players who are not in their future plans. It would bode well for him if he had multiple extra picks in the 2023 & 2024 Drafts respectively. It keeps our Super Bowl window open long term and his job safe. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā The cap is real. all it means is dont act like a Friday night millionaire. if you come across someone that makes you better, not just a shiny rock, its a no brainer. filling holes before the draft makes it doubley valuable, allowing you to stay closer to a true BPA, than a BPA at positional need 2 minutes ago, Warcodered said: I think "any day now" would imply not necessarily today just soon. what context is 'any day now' coming from? rumor?

cba fan Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) what many forget is most contracts now come with restructure language team can invoke at any time. Simple notice to players. agents, banks, payroll dept of team, then money payouts are commenced per new restructure schedule. Ā And player gets money sooner, so they are happy too.Ā Ā So no time-consuming negotiations and team can wait until last minutes to activate them depending on what moves come up as ops present themselves as FA runs. 4 minutes ago, 0017 said: I love Beane donāt get me wrong, but last year he telegraphed that CB selection pretty bad.

You need to have one of your CBs on a cheap rookie contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always going to have to free up money to replace those bodies and/or bring some back. Whether they'll be able to come up with enough to sign any real big names as upgrades remains to be seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradberry in free agency and an attempt at helping Josh out on the offense through the draft, but hindsight is 20/20. I really did think Gabe Davis was going to ball out last year, and spencer brown would continue to progress. So itās easy to see why he went that route at the time.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
