Hopkins alone is $12 million this year.  Jewell is $4.5M.  Suh played at $2M last year, though he may be cheaper this year.  Where are you getting those 3 players in at roughly $4.3M total?

Contracts are prorated and the cap hit is lower after signing bonuses are taken into account.

Yeah, I understand that.  The website I saw mentioned he had a base salary of $12M, which generally isn't including the bonuses.  I see now that it is on the site.  Jewell does have a base salary of $4.49M plus roster bonuses by game.

I'd trade Gabe Davis and a draft pick to Indy for Michael Pittman Jr. Pittman is unhappy with the way he's being used in Indy. He's got upside, is good at everything, only 26 years old, 6'4 and 220 lbs, and is in the final year of a budget friendly contract that fits in perfectly with the limited cap space we have. If he plays well for us we also have the option to sign him to a long term contract.

 

 

Dorsey would Use him as a blocker

Brandon Beane has drafted 43 players not named Josh Allen.

 

-> 2 of the 43 have been selected to a Pro Bowl.

 

-> 1 of those 2 is no longer on the team (Edmunds). The other is Knox.

 

-> 0 have been All-Pro's.

I say use the draft picks.

 

Where would we get special team players and depth if we trade draft picks?

That's all Josh needs: two divas yelling at him on the sideline about not getting the ball

Well, Dorsey likes to have all his receivers run to the same spot on the field.  Could be fun to watch DHop and Diggs fight for contested catches between one another.

Diggs is elite at a lot of things... contested catches are not one of them.

 

We don't have that guy on the roster.

I wouldn't make any trades that involve draft picks until after the game on Thursday. If the Bills lose, I would keep the picks.  

 

Unless this was purely done for roster call ups/operating money.. I don't think you pull a lever like this unless you have a move lined up.
