I thought he was more the contract negotiator.

 

He does contracts and cap. He was Overdorf's deputy. Promoted a few years ago. As I understand it when Beane is negotiating with say, for example, Cook he will say to Megank "we want him, we think this is the number and here is our ceiling" then Megank will come back with options for how that can be structured and what each of those options mean for the cap down the road. Beane obviously signs off on everything.

You know.. it’s funny … everyone loved the Benford deal at the time…:: I thought it was good value  … not looking that way now though is it…

 

he is here at least to the end of 2027 looks like… not that he is the biggest issue on this team by any means

So he is the new "spreadsheet guy showing options".

Thanks.

Yes. Spreadsheets and numbers.

Salary Cap is not the problem with these Bills. They are ranked #19 (Spotrac) in dead cap. That is not bad at all.

It wasn't his main job but he was, as Assistant GM, overseeing the cap because Gettleman was a pure scout. But I don't think he was the "capologist" in the way Overdorf was for years. He was the cap strategy guy responsible for working with that department on how to manage things long term. 

 

Kevin Megank is now the Bills capologist. But he is only the numbers man. Beane is still the one setting the cap strategy

I do believe Brandon beane was a cap guy with Carolina among other roles 

 

Not to sound corny but he was beane counting

He did cap strategy I believe. I don't know that he was actually the spreadsheet and numbers guy. But maybe back in his football ops days he did.
