Guy I’m targeting is Alex Cappa. Young and athletic

My apologies for some reason my brain read “restructure” as “extend for a higher cap hit”. Straight brain fart in my part and my bad Guy I’m looking at…Alex Cappa

They need a new starting guard

Exactly. Bills still want to get more athletic here

He's 25, just had a career year following a pretty good year, and Leonard Williams/DeMarcus Lawrence are at 21M and TJ Watt just set the market for 28M, with Bosa at 27M, Garett at 25M and Maxk at 23.5M

Allen is one of the consensus 3 best QBs in the league heading into next year along with Mahomes and Rodgers. I think everyone knows this

I am hugely enjoying the Mina Kimes experience through this

so uh, anyone have 23M handy?

Folks that was a 8-9M CAP HIT. Not yearly take

Cap Hit, not AAV 12M is Myles Jacks number, and even Matt Milanos approximate. Klein is 5.1 Darius Leonard is like 13M this year before jumping to to 20M next year. My expectation for Edmunds would be under 10M this year and next year and then rising to 15-17 in 2024 and on, and getting a nice chunk of a bonus upfront.

The one criticism I'll say is that he had one of his worst statistical years just now. He regressed slightly, but progress isn't linear

Because he's going to end up with a long extension with an 8-9M cap hit

He doesn't, but that seems besides the point, rather it's what people expect of him, what coaches expect of him, what an actual NFL MLB is capable of on elite, great, average, below average, poor tiers, and what he does. And also the fact that people seem to think he's the problem with whatever issues we have on defense, rather than a basic lack of speed, explosion and individual pass rushing you're going to be very disappointed this summer

Concentrated fire on the MLB when the Bills probably don't have a single DB who runs under a 4.55 or a DLineman who can get 10+ sacks

My dirty little secret is that I think Derek Carr is better than Burrow right now, but he shouldn't be getting Mahomes/Allen money

I'm a bit surprised there's not rules against this sort of thing. It's even more of a disadvantages to the have-nots, that a well marketed star can take 80% of what he can get on the open market to play for a championship, all the while knowing he can make up for it with his endorsements

He was special even as a Grad assistant at PSU. Joe Morehead immediately picked him out as his personal protege, and even Josh Gattis had him in his WR room, Brady soaked up the entirety of Morehead's offense and was instrumental in Trace McSorely's development (3* safety/QB to All conference QB and draft pick) - he was basically PSU's unofficial QB Coach - as a GA. That dude is an offensive savant.

Remember that day when he released a 9 page insta letter to announce his retirement? That was a great day

Having an OC and QB on the same (succesful) page is a no brainer

I would pass on Bradberry. Similar profile to Levi Wallace, which are average to below average speed so almost exclusively a boundary/zone corner. Now Bradberry is a really GOOD zone corner...but if the bills are going to spend capital, then it better not be on a zone corner. The Bills need to get faster in the secondary. If they're coming back with the exact same zone heavy scheme to protect their boundary corner, then I think that's a mistake. Get a corner who can play both Zone and man. It'll cost money, but the key to beating these elite QBs isn't going to be blitzing them, it's going to getting elite coverage. Against the Chiefs, the Bengals actually played a lot of man, and were able to do so because Bates is an elite safety who ran a 4.5 40 at the combine and can cover large parts of the field. If either Poyer or Hyde are sub 4.6 I'd eat my Allen jersey. Same with Levi Wallace.

The $80 Jersey I own says you can send that idea straight to hell

No I'd turn around and give that offer to the Falcons for AJ Terrell, but I'd also offer both picks we get for losing Lezlie Frazier

Agree that the Bills don't need an overhaul. I would much rather the Coaches re-evaluate some of their schematic stuff, and then add a piece or two on either side, that adds something they don't have already. I keep harping on it, but speed in the back 7 and in the offensive skill set is that one last thing.

So Joe Bus made a big deal out of the lack pass of pass rush on that Hill TD - a play where neither AJE nor GR won their battles. That's where a GM earns his money. Does he look at that play and think - well a DE means Mahomes doesn't get off an easy pass, or does he think - a better corner means Hill isn't quite so open
