No_Matter_What Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Didn't see it mentioned - Sportrac thinks that his 2023 cap hit is only §522k https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/linval-joseph-6555/ I guess he has a lot of incentives and those will count only if fulfills them (?). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now,every single drop I fear it's going to be an INT, and I hate it. Not since the drought have I felt that way. You fear an interception on every single drop?! I feel so bad for you. Watching a game must be a miserable experience. I still expect greatness when Josh has the ball in his hands, and more often than not, I am not disappointed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incentives or performance bonuses in the NFL fall into two categories: Likely to be earned or Unlikely to be earned. If incentives are likely to be earned, they count against that years cap hit. If they are unlikely to be earned, they count 0 towards that years cap but if earned, are charged against the next years cap number. I imagine most of his incentives are unlikely to be earned, meaning that roughly $2 mil remaining from the reported numbers, would either never materialize or be paid out next year. Bottom line for me: We get a very experienced player on the cheap. And if we have to shell out $$$ next year since he met those performance bonuses, it will hopefully be well worth it!

Success Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 4 hours ago, Drew21PA said: Actually - personally - had a bad feeling about the 9-11 jets game and the themes and all that surrounding the game knew the jets would upset us - of course!!!! jags game I hated - knew when I saw it it was a loss i had us winning this before the season started. Think we are going to have a rough game but I see us winning i see us beating cowboys i see us beating cjiefs loss in Philly but not sure about that one now. We don’t have an answer for AJ but - could see it being really close sweep the rest of the afc east i did NOT see the let down to the pats i knew there would be one - but damn to the pats!? I thought we would want to absolutely break them but I guess they are over the drought stuff - we aren’t but I guess the players are Feel the same way about the Pats. I was stunned we let that one slip away - but I don't think the players see that game the same way as the fans. We will beat them at home by at least 2 scores. No doubt on that one. The positive is that the win they got, combined w/ a few other meaningless ones this season, will take them out of the top QB sweepstakes in the next draft.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 On 11/2/2023 at 4:51 PM, muppy said: 3. Can a player be added to the IR and NOT be injured? A team can put a player on IR if their doctor believes he is injured. A player can get his own doctor to clear him and he can dispute it with NFL. If NFL says he can play and team does not put on 53 man roster he can demand he be released. 1 hour ago, Warriorspikes51 said: so much for all the knee jerk reactions saying he used up the entire remaining cap we had the agent wants the maximum cash value reported even though most of it is incentives Agent been quoting the year price but since he was signed midseason Bills are not obligated to pay him if cut and cap hit only counts for games left on Bills schedule. With his record available and starting most of career I do not expect Bills will cut him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyC81 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 So, it’s actually legal to put a player like Elam on IR for a fractured ego? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Defensive tackle is a lot like riding a bicycle. It gets much more awkward and dangerous the older your body gets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
