‘”You can’t really be flexible with those cap numbers, so we’ve got to make sure if we pick them both up, that we’re going to have close to $35 million space in next year’s cap,” Beane said before the draft. “It’s not an ideal scenario for that to pick them both up and not extend them. So we just got to kind of figure out how we can make that work in our system, but we’ll have that answer once the draft is over.”’

Report: Panthers request permission to interview Bills’ Dan Morgan for assistant GM opening
‘The dots to connect Morgan to that job are easy to follow. Morgan is a former first-round draft pick of the Panthers who played linebacker for the team from 2001-07.’
Voice of the Fan: NFL draft grades, irrational man crushes, love-hate picks and lots of upside
‘The Bills are so lucky to have Brandon Beane making these choices and not me or you, no matter how much we watch and know about these guys. And yet even the best GMs and drafters in the world are the equivalent of great baseball players, i.e., they make an out and not a hit two-thirds of the time.’
As expected, Bills exercise fifth-year options on Josh Allen, Tremaine Edmunds
‘If contract extensions are not worked out, Allen will count more than $23 million on the Bills 2022 cap in a year where the overall team figure may not even get back to where it was in 2020 when it was $198.2 million. Edmunds will count $12.7 million.’
Bills exercise 5th-year options on Josh Allen, Tremaine Edmunds
‘Allen is now on the books in 2022 for $23.016 million, the highest cap hit of any player from the 2018 draft class (Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson is also set to make $23.016 million in 2022). Edmunds’ cap hit in 2022 will be $12.791 million.’
How Bills’ Jake Kumerow added to rift between Aaron Rodgers and Packers
‘“This is crazy, but it does seem like the one thing that drove Rodgers nuts was when the organization released Jake Kumerow just a day after he praised him publicly,” said Rapoport. ” (It’s) described as a little bit of a deathknell in the relationship.”’
Bills’ Dan Morgan a ‘name to watch’ for Panthers assistant GM or VP of player personnel (report)
‘‘This time of year, there are changes in scouting departments, so I think you’ll see some shuffling,” said Breer. “The Panthers are one team to watch. They could bring in a new assistant GM or VP of player personnel, and Bills director of player personnel Dan Morgan, given that he’s a former Panther linebacker and ex-coworker of Fitterer’s, would be one name to watch, as would Kansas City’s Ryan Poles and Philadelphia’s Ian Cunningham.”’
Bills Pick Up Allen, Edmunds 5th-Year Contract Options
‘The fifth year of the contracts is guaranteed, though the Bills can renegotiate the deals.’
Buffalo Bills pick up fifth-year options for QB Josh Allen, LB Tremaine Edmunds
‘The decision comes on the day of the deadline for teams to decide on the options for players picked in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft.’
Bills exercise fifth-year options on Allen, Edmunds
‘For Allen, the fifth-year option will cost the Bills $23.016 million. For Edmunds, it will cost $12.791 million.’
Opinion: 2021 was a different type of draft for the Bills
‘I wasn’t surprised the Bills went with a defensive end with their very first selection but I didn’t expect back-to-back picks at that position. But those picks can easily be explained by looking at the depth chart at defensive end and taking into account the Bills tight salary cap space next offseason. It is much more about that than following the Tampa Bay model as to how to beat Kansas City.’

‘The move keeps both players under contract with the Bills through the upcoming 2022 season.’

‘“Nothing in the draft affected either one of these guys it’s just there’s no reason to do it before then. In our mind we just wanted to focus on the draft and now we’ll take care of that before the deadline Monday,” Beane said on his zoom call after the draft on Saturday.’
Bills 2021 draft much different than in previous years, and that’s a good thing
‘After finishing the season 13-3 and making it to the AFC title game, the Bills had the 30th overall pick, the lowest they’ve had since Beane took over as GM. Which is a good thing, a very good thing. It means they made a deep playoff run but that also means fans have to tamper their expectations for this pick and this draft as a whole.’
Bills exercise 5th-year options on QB Josh Allen and LB Tremaine Edmunds
‘By picking up both 5th-year options, the “hope” for the Bills is to produce long-term contracts for both in the future.’
