Is it plausible they told Diggs they wanted to restructure his contract so they could had the ability to sign a difference maker? Then they failed to sign said difference maker? Unlike what the other poster said they did need Diggs to agree to restructure his contract and they had to give him a good reason why or they gave him a crap load more money as a signing bonus to get him to agree and create more cap

spce. 

That's not how restructuring works. They didn't need to give him a reason or give him a crap load more money. They accelerated his salary, converting it into a bonus which gives him all the money upfront and allows them to spread his contract out, lowering his cap hit. Players like it because it gives them their money sooner. Teams like it because it gives them cap flexibility. Owners have to write big checks, though.

 

They don't sit down and negotiate anything. Diggs didn't do the Bills a favor by agreeing to restructure. It is a win-win for the player and the team. It is already expected to happen when these contracts are signed.

So the tweet I saw said that Gabe had a 61.6% success rate vs man and a 57.1% success rate vs press.  That’s 35th percentile?

I found a free article from Harmon, stating the following:

1. Vs man coverage: Median approx 65% / 75th percentile approx 73%

 

So while 35th percentile sounds horrible, seems to be a "tight band", fairly low differential in percentiles.  

 

All this to say, I'd love to see our collective teams slot #s against Zone last year (when Diggs aligned outside).  I'd be willing to bet big $s we were a bottom 10 team, likely hovering around bottom 5.  

 

I've repeated this a million times since February, but that was our biggest issue LY (combined with poor IOL play, questionable playcalling, and some poor decision making by Josh).  Seems to be fair that Beane likely agrees with some of this; given his offseason approach to acquisitions.  Dorseys offense going to look alot more efficient (less volatile) IMO.

You are obviously a pretty casual NFL fan and probably don't know who half of those players are but their receiving options were a lot stronger than the Bills.   

Passive aggressive jerkiness is not your strong suit.  Stick with direct jerkiness.

 

If the Bills had drafted Skyy Moore in the 2nd and got the same results as the Chiefs you’d be on here proudly declaring how much smarter than Beane you are and listing a few guys that were better in 22.  Instead he is on your wish list.  It’s merely one of a trillion examples.

It’s a contract, they can’t change it without him agreeing to the change.  That’s just the law you must get their sign off to do any changes even ones that are positive for the other party otherwise you could be considered in breach of contract.  Besides that it’s just common sense you tell the person you’re changing the contract and most people (because we are people) give a reason why. Not every person runs it like BB and is as nice as sandpaper on sensitive skin.

Partially correct and partially way off base.

 

You are correct in saying they need him to agree to a CHANGE in the contract. A change would be things such as adding void years or straight up cuts in salary. 

 

It's not considered a change in contract to do a restructure as MOST contracts given these days have those permissions as part of the existing deal. The language is built in and agreed to upon signing the original deal. This would be the type of restructure you see most players receive. Conversion of salary to bonus to free up space. 

 

Now it would be a courtesy to mention it to a player or his representative before doing it. Especially if a GM has contact with a guy over the course of the off-season. But for a simple restructure it's not needed.

But can we agree there's a fair distance between those two guys, and a "bunch of crap"?  Yeah, we want him to have fewer drops, and be thrown more catchable passes.  But by a number of metrics, he's actually at the top of the #2s and a number of teams don't have a #1 with his production.

Plus Sherfield, Harty and 2nd year Shakir are all upgrades over McKenzie who was our #3 last year. Kincaid should be a playmaker from day 1 as well. I like our weapons alot. Not wise to sign another 30+ yo WR unless it was a 1 or even 2 yr deal and I'm sure he wants 3-5 years at top dollar.  Just wouldn't be a smart move imo for the long run

Restructure isn’t an extension so it does not necessarily prolong anything.  It makes his contract less tradable which might guarantee his stay in Buffalo.

Yeah it's been much discussed in WNY that he has said he would like to play with his brother at some point........and the way it lines up it would most likely be with Stef Diggs on a final contract with Dallas around when his bro is in his prime.     The cap hit to move him now would be pretty absurd and makes that possibility in the near future very unlikely.

McKenzie had more receptions and more yards in 2 fewer games than Sherfield last season.   Sherfield can play teams other than as PR/KR though

Deonte Harty has been a first team all-Pro as a KR/PR and had a better season in 2021, but the question is "can he stay healthy?"

No offense, but you are only demonstrating you don't actually know how it works and are basing your incorrect assumptions here based on what you think is "common sense" on what you assume to be true for all contracts with no regards for the actual language and contract law applied to NFL players contracts.  

 

The fact remains, the option to convert is in the original contract, and that clause is NOT executable by the player, and ONLY executable by the team and the team does NOT need to consult with said player, seek their permission, nor speak with them prior to doing it.  That is the entire point to the clause.  

 

And since you want to refer to "common sense", if you applied common sense here it would be absolutely clear to you that is how it works, otherwise no GM would be able to sign players to these big contracts that are going to screw the cap without a restructure IF it was dependent on said player "agreeing" and signing off on the restructure.

 

To be honest, this isn't up for interpretation, its 100% fact.  Players do NOT ever have to approve, be consulted, or given a reason when it comes to a team exercising the restructure clause that is in their contract.  

 

PS:  All cap words and the bolded was just to highlight key words, not yell.

So it's not a sure thing, but one would like to think that  with 3 shots at it one will work.

 

Unfortunately, the stats are not really going to answer this question for anyone, they are not apples to apples kind of situations.  McKenzie played on the 2nd highest scoring offense in the NFL over the past 3 years, and only 2nd to KC by a total of 5 points.  So statistically, he should have more stats because he will have more opportunities playing in this offense, and more importantly playing with Josh.  

 

So instead, here is how I would look at it.  Sherfield, Harty, and Shakir are essentially replacing Kumerow, McKenzie and rookie Shakir who was not used a lot.

 

Kumerow:  Sherfield is significantly better WR than Kumerow in terms to what they can give us on the field as a WR.  And that is not much of a surprise given Kumerow was here for his ST ability, not because he was significant contributor at his position on the field as a WR.  So not a lot of reasoning or explaining needs to go into that consideration.

 

McKenzie:  Harty isn't on his own replacing McKenzie (last years version of McKenzie), that is a combo deal of Shakir and Harty.  In fact, Harty is more or less replacing McKenzie's more suited role as a reserve WR that has gadget or niche value.  By all accounts, Shakir is entering camp as the starting slot WR, and is expected to enter week 1 that way as well.  McKenzie did not do well in that roll last year, and his roll on this team this year would have been more like his previous role of a gadget or creative use type player.  That is where Harty comes in, but Harty brings a lot more to the table as an actual talent at WR than McKenzie did.

 

The only thing McKenzie really did well was run fast, but unfortunately, his weaknesses as an actual WR limited the use of that speed effectively to shorter areas.  He does not track the long ball well, so despite his speed he was never a down field threat or a guy who could take the top off the defense.  He also had unreliable hands, inconsistent and even sloppy at times route runner, was not physical so struggled with contested catches or catching in traffic and could not fight for yards once he had the ball.  More importantly, he was not very cerebral on the field either, which is important when playing the short to mid field with Allen at QB and the reliance on receivers improvising a lot.  

 

Now enter Harty...he is a more polished route runner and a true deep threat who can take the top off the D or take it to the house at any given moment.  He provides a lot more pressure on the defense when on the field.  For all Mackenzie's speed, he wasn't any more of a deep threat than older and slower Beasley was, and provided none of the short to mid field talent or value Beasley did either.  With Harty, he has the speed and agility to handle any gadget play they would have rolled out for McKenzie, and probably better given he is a better route runner, but he also is a major downfield threat anytime he is on the field with Josh Allens arm.  

 

So in my personal opinion, I think the upgrades this year are actually noticeably better, maybe even significant when you look at the 3 guys (Sherfield, Shakir, and Harty) that are essentially replacing 3 guys (Kumerow, McKenzie, and seldom used rookie Shakir).  Although,  Harty does need to stay healthy too, that is a legit concern with his history and size.  The good news is, Shakir is really replacing the role McKenzie had last year, so if Harty does get hurt, we aren't down a significant starter.

He's always been very inconsistent at getting open and in the end is average as WR's go. Steeler fans were never sold on him as a whole either. Certainly more frustration than joy with him. Limited speed, explosiveness and dedication to the game at times. Pretty dang good hands though! Pretty much defines average. a middle of the pack #2.

 

If we're looking to set expectations of the Bills #2 (Whom I think will be Kincaid before too terribly long) I would hope we can find a better example. That's all.

Brown was the #1 at the time and Hardy will likely be #4 or 5…. Goodluck with that

 

I see him more of a gadget player like McKenzie was before Beas left. I wouldn’t be surprised if Shakir makes a bigger impact then both hardy and Sherfield.

It seems to me we are trying to be closer to the Chiefs last year who had crazy pass catching depth. Only

thing is their 1B Juju did have more output than any of our guys will individually. 

 

We might not have that 1B, but our top 4 pass catching targets figure to be about as deep as can be absent Hopkins with Diggs as 1A, and any order of Davis, Knox, and Kincaid platooning as 1B. One or more of of Cook, Harty, Sherfield, Shakir, and Morris to round out the group against CB3-4s and LBs. Our pass catching depth is pretty crazy.
 

Would be great for Cook to keep up his rushing success and add something close to a McKinnon receiving output.

This is kind of a point that I heard on the radio. The Bills seem to be one step behind the chiefs because they are mimicking. Idk if I subscribe to that or not but it's a thought. They do call it a copy cat league.
