Doing it the way they did it, according to Sal...they just saved $2.5 million off the cap.

 

But lose an entire year of cap savings. That part is left out.

Would make sense they try to trade back again. They have nearly 24hrs to work out a deal. If so the trade off would have to be revisited. If they don't trade back then I would say no, it's not worth it. But then again, by making the trade you give yourself a much better chance to trade back again.

I disagree, the Panthers probably told the Bills who they wanted to take and the Bills weren’t going to take that player anyway.

 

This deal was all about trading draft compensation for the 5th year option. I doubt anybody did any bluffing.

 

If the fifth year option was that important to the Panthers I wish Beane had turned the screws more than he did in return.

How about we wait and see who they pick and see if they are any good before claiming the sky is falling and screaming for people to be fired. Jesus!

Please.  People need to stop with the Worthy comparisons to Hill.  Hill has 20 pounds on Worthy.

Worthy is the same size as Devonta Smith. I don’t want that guy, and that skill set, in Andy Reid’s offense. If you aren’t concerned about that, we see things differently.

Bills won't stop helping Kansas City. Already got them a couple SB's with the Mahomes gift. Now, they have provided them a T. Hill replacement. One team I would never trade with-- the Chiefs. Just mind-numbing.

And they leave the 1st round with no receivers-- in a round where 7 were taken. There are a lot of receivers in the draft, but I don't think anyone left is a potential #1 (maybe Mitchell-- but he doesn't seem ready to take on that role immediately).

Really looking forward to the 5-7 round landfall the Bills have put together.

apparently moving out of the 1st round has saved them over 2 million on the cap this year.

 

 

Two plus Ten or so post June 1 is about 12 million, Ayuk I think due $19 million, it might happen yet think Beane has a guy he wants that still on the board and get as much draft capital he can to move up in the mid rounds or get some extra picks in 2025.

What the heck are you talking about?  He's had more success here than anyone since Bill Polian and you think he's going to get fired.  LOL.  He's getting more pics hoping he can hit on some of them.  

 

Except he's not.  We didn't land a single extra pick, we simply moved up from Round 4 to 3 and up in Round 7.

49ers did just draft a WR 👀

I mentioned it in a text to a friend - 33 and one of our seconds next year for Aiyuk and their second at the end of the round 

 

extend aiyuk, take your savings and draft Franklin who you love at 61

He is nothing like Smith.

Once Thomas was gone, I have to admit I expected Beane to consider moving down like he has.  We don't have much cap room this year, and moving out of the first round to save some cap money is one way to keep the door open to trading for one of the veteran wideouts while still preserving picks.  That said, if one of those WRs that Beane passed on turns out to be a superstar, it's not going to look good.

165 lb monster!

Bills have a great history of trading in the 1st round with the Chiefs and Andy Reid knows absolutely nothing about offence so I definitely trust the bills on this one..

As someone who was out at a bar in Atlanta for the draft, at least we arent the Falcons.

 

The place exploded when that Penix pick came in.

At least Falcons did something
