Yes, it’s $7m a year. It would count around $4.4m from the cap in 2025 and $7.5m towards cap in 2026 of which $6m is in base that could be converted to a bonus and spread in remaining year and 2 voided years lowering the 2026 cap hit to $3M. Interesting that they decided to use 2 voided years rather than the 1 that they have been using on a relatively small contract. Probably because it’s not an extension and there are only 3 years on it. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/48007/mike-hoecht

I saw the same thing, they all seemed to like him but a lot said he’s not good in coverage. Not too many 280 pounders are lol

I hear the Bills are making a push for Asante Samuels Jr.

Wow! I would advise for anyone to take a look at that video. It’s not that long. What struck me is how big, fast and strong he looked on those highlights. And how versatile he is, the Rams used him coming off the edge and in the middle as a stand up LB. I get the feeling the Bills are going to employ more things this year that we hadn’t seen in the past. I think they are going to make a serious attempt at being less predictable on defense.

Bills did play more 3 - 3 - 5 defenses last year down the stretch.

Day 1, they got the WR I wanted. I posted about him quite a few times going back 2-3 weeks. If they don’t swing for the fences with Hendrickson then with what’s left I’m leaning Za’Darius Smith. He’s still producing well and probably can be had without breaking the bank.

The Cover 1 guys like him. I do respect their opinions. He does have a lot of tackles, gets some sacks and is very athletic for his size. He’s not someone I watched just that is what I’ve seen/read about him.

Because the formation that the Bills like to play a lot the 4 by 1 where they have 4 receivers bunched on one side and the 1 isolated on the other side is not a role that Coleman is suited for. That is suited for someone who can win 1 v 1 and that can separate. Palmer will play that role. Coleman will play the role that Mack Hollins played a lot this year which was more of a power slot who can line up on the boundary.

I think Bills will go BPA at either WR, DE, DT, CB or Safety. Unless there is a big time substantive move via trade/FA at one of these positions. The FA signing for Palmer I don't believe precludes that from happening.

They are going to go defense now, we have 4 major holes to improve. CB, Safety, DT and DE. But I expect the Bills to draft a WR.

Very likely will be

Shavers

Don't expect Josh Palmer to be a star with the Bills, he won't be. The expectations for him is to serve as an effective pressure valve when teams decide to play man to man and when they blitz. He's a guy that Allen could turn to quickly under duress and have Palmer beat his man in those situations. Think third downs or high leverage moments! He's not most likely going to be a 1k yard WR, he will probably be around the 700 yards and 5 TD range. It's a Moneyball approach where Palmer fits a need in certain situations.

I think it was a little bit of an overpay but to secure your guy on the first day of FA that’s what needed to be done. He fills a need which is a guy who can serve as a pressure valve and win his one on one match when teams blitz.

Draft pick

Reading in between the lines, he’s negotiating hard to get Benford and Cook’s contract down. Almost indicating indirectly that “we can’t sign them all” in terms of bringing back players. Cook and Benford’s agents aren’t liking hearing that

I’ve been saying it for a month now, Buffalo’s approach to the WR position will be a MONEYBALL approach

I think similar to the Bills, Harbaugh’s offense for whatever reason doesn’t feature boundary WR’s. They like that possession sort of offense.

I have plenty of them but stupid Twitter X isn’t allowing them. Hes going to be the X. I still think the Bills will draft a WR

Yes Yes Yes!!! I thought there was a really good chance the Bills could get him. I’ve been pounding the table for him He gets big time separation m, he is a man to man beater. Im stoked about this one

It was due. RB’s were too undervalued. But this is ridiculous

Samaje Perine RB who had less than 100 yards rushing last year, 29 years old just got a $7M a year contract. Cook is salivating.

To put things into perspective he had 5 sacks last year, 11 solo tackles and 13 assisted tackles He has had 11.5 sacks in his career. His 2 sacks against the Chiefs were his only post season sacks. That man made a lot of money in that Super Bowl game. If it hadn’t been for that game he wouldn’t have cracked $13M AAV Sweat is about to have a massive overpay as well

Me too. I know that it wouldn’t be considered good “value”, but what is value? Value is measured against other mock drafts, we don’t know how other NFL decision makers feel about him. I think he’s going to produce

Massive overpay https://x.com/rapsheet/status/1899160829863571847?s=46&t=vPnoSawW13pZidGfyWKQRQ How many times have we seen this where a player plays great in the superbowl that parlays into a big time contract Milton to the Patriots for $26M a year
