Bleeding Bills Blue

Pierre Garcon wouldn't be traded because he's in year 1 of a 5 year deal. The dead cap would be like 15 million, so we'd have to overpay. Why is SD trading Keenan Allen? They're 2-4 and are a couple missed FGs from 4-2. The AFC is full of teams that have 2-4 wins, so why are they out of it? 9-7 probably gets in - that would be 6-3 the rest of the way.

So a 2019 3rd round comp pick... pick 100 of the draft basically... Or pick a 2018 2nd round pick... a full year earlier and likely pick say 50.... Thats a fair amount of value. Plus we got a corner and dont have to worry about comp picks and a net loss etc in free agency.

Made a few really nice third down passes late in the game. He also threw a big deep ball on their long drive. He does occasionally make the easy ones look hard. Cam looked incredibly off last night fwiw.

I turn that up field if i see that much open grass... i might even put a hand up so he throws it

They weight the plays in DVOA - so a 9 yard run on 4th and 10 isn't a positive play and a 2 yard run on 3rd and 1 is a positive play. Factors in the opponent as well.

I'm sure Mcdermott is heavily involved in offensive game planning. I just don't think he has anything to do with the playcalling during the actual game.

We have the same record, or better, than all of the teams with those receivers.

Jalen ramsay will be shadowing him this week too...

He won't go to the packers though... their entire team is basically homegrown. They showed some inclination to improving their trenches with vet's, but its usually lowball offers for guys who've been around the block a while.

They traded a 2nd round pick and a player for 1 year of him... they can't possibly franchise him can they?

At the time we had Zay, Matthews, and Boldin with a healthy streater who was actually looking like a solid roster contributor. It wasn't a great situation, but they wanted the 2018 2nd round pick more than the POSSIBLE 3rd round comp pick in 2019 - a full year later and probably 30 picks later. That's a significant difference. We also got gaines in the trade, who's actually been pretty productive so far.

We have 8 million - and it carries over into 2018 as it stands now. The WRs available in free agency are not NFL caliber at this point. Trading picks is counter-productive to what we are trying to do. Wouldn't you rather have 8 million in 2018 cap space for free agents who are actually coveted players? We also have a bunch of injuries so a lack of roster flexibility without releasing someone, or IRing someone.

You're right - we have a DT and OT who don't play gobbling it up. You have to care about cap hits when your predecessor fouled it up so badly. We added Percy harvin when our WR corps was hurt last year - that worked out really well. We gave him a million.

I wouldn't do any of those things. I don't want to move a pick for a WR who has a large cap hit moving forward (benjamin) , and i don't want to sign players who didn't participate in a training camp (jackson/barnidge). Do any of these guys have familiarity in Dennison's system?

I think the goal is to build something more sustainable. We have 20% of our cap tied up in a lazy DT and an OT who's developing an injury problem

Can you do that if you're trading them though?

Very difficult to bring in salary while absorbing dead money.

I believe if we trade him they pay the base salary - we pay the amortized bonuses up front as a cap charge for 2017..? I guess i could be wrong? For dareus that would be 20.6 million in bonuses plus whatever salary we already paid? (roster bonuses and base salary for this aren't added - http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/marcell-dareus-7718/)- His cap hit currently stands at 16.4 million. For Glenn that would be 14.8 million in bonuses plus whatever salary is already paid for 2017. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cordy-glenn-9851/- his cap hit stands at 14.2 milion. I would consider it unlikely - but certainly possible.

Would be Dimarco, Holmes, Davis, Ducasse.

Dimarco is dead weight IMO... His spot is taken by tolbert and we'd activate banyard. Not sure we can really get rid of holmes quite yet - but i assume they're getting dupre/reilly ready. Davis has been passed by Yarbrough - and we have 2 end's on the PS. Ducasse is just a body - 3 OL on the PS. We signed 7 and 5 were signed from us? So that would net us likely a 3 and a 4?

It's not like they said - cover green all game with no help. He screwed up on that play and lost him.

I think they meant like... instead of having wright/mabin doing it

It's not madden...

One got called back on holding. Seemed like a designed QB draw anyway
