Bleeding Bills Blue

Chiefs also traded the guy who always locks him down too 🙂

I think its 1 and 4 probably. Still needing to get some younger contributors on the defensive side of the ball with the 2nd pick. I think 2025's 1st is in play to try and get up and get your guy, and having 2 2nds in 2025 makes that easier to potentially stomach.

The only way to fix it is to draft well.

You cannot trade cap space. It would likely get negated as a violation of the CBA. You can trade the player and their contract, and i suppose u could include cash, but that isn't going to expand their cap pool.

I think the 1st in 2025 is also in play.

That was cleveland acquiring base salary guarantees though. They acquired his contract like any other trade. They just had a ton of cap space to eat it.

I assume they aren't going to trash an outgoing player. Thank him for his time, his contributions, his effort - and just indicate that you wanted to go a different direction. If he wants to chirp - let him.

Yup - plus you can't trade diggs to anyone. But there are teams in the top 10/15 that would absolutely value an extra 1st round pick in 2025. Doing this trade to acquire 2 2nd's in 2025 makes it a beat easier to stomach losing a 2nd 1st rounder.

Yeah - great player here. Never got over the top, but anything other than thank you for the contributions isn't really fair to the guy.

Cash doesn't affect the cap space taken out. It would just... pay for stuff. I believe they can still spread cap hit over 2 years though.

Alright... he's a rookie who was having a very promising season. I don't know that many would say he is better than diggs.

You can't trade cap space, and you can't trade dead cap. It is money that was already paid and using bonus models to spread it across multiple years.

Dead cap is dead cap. It's roster bonuses, restructure, and signing bonuses. You can't trade it - its basically compensation that was spread over several years. All base salary, workout bonuses and per game active bonuses are acquired by the new team.

There is no way to... trade the dead cap. It is money already paid to diggs. They acquire his base salary for 2024 - which we couldn't cut since it was at least partially guaranteed. You can still split the dead money across 2 years which i assume we do. This wasn't the worst contract on the books since we have von miller, but there is no trading von for much of anything at this point since his value is 0 and he's expensive as hell.

You can now more confidently move a 2025 1st round pick as you now have minnesota and our own #2s. Not every team can absorb Diggs cap hits (or wants to), but every team picking in the top half of the first round will have interest in a 1st or 2nd round pick in 2025 in a move-down scenario.

I think with 2 1sts and 3 2nds in the next 2 drafts - you have ammunition to move into the top 10 of the draft without giving up too many of your 2024 picks.

KC called timeout the previous play (and we used our stupid defensive timeout to freaking boot) - like you had SOOO much time to just be like. There are 8 seconds. 2 rushers - everyone else in man, and hold immediately off the LOS. They will call holding and KC probably lose the time on the clock. You can only usually do it once before they'll call the intentional hold foul. After that itll be first and 10 and potentially as little as 0 on the clock for a hail mary at midfield.

I thought this was going to be about getting a really good rugby kicker to just do both punts and FGs with drop kicks. If hes fast enough you can do a lot of fun stuff with fakes in certain locations of the field and just go for it in the no mans land/long FG situations. Basically free up a roster spot.

Yeah, the only reason I'd lean o-line is just because it keeps your shiny expensive QB healthy. Not to mention the Chiefs just won a super bowl with like no one at WR, and an elite offensive line. It also has the bonus effect of helping establish a good running game. Being able to sometimes run the ball effectively is a huge counter for teams built to stop your passing attack. I'll also say it is hard to find a recent super bowl team that didn't have a strong defensive line as well though. Maybe the 2018 patriots? I wouldn't say it was a particularly bad group though - Guy is solid, Flowers was in a pre-injury prime, Malcolm Brown at the nose, Wise in his 2nd year. Definitely some talent in that group, and you could do a lot worse. 2016 Falcons are probably the last mediocre defensive line (and defense) to even make a super bowl.

Yeah. You go into camp with 90. Assume a pick, maybe also some UDFA's. He's there to try and play his way on the roster, or at the very least push the rookies to earn their spot.

My B - i was hunting wikipedia and laughing that her page brought me to his 😄

Probably met her dad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Steinfeld Her dad does seem pretty freaking

I think an argument can be made to Offensive or defensive line.

But they do carry a decent probability of reoccurrence, not to mention the possibility of sapping skill (long layoffs) and explosiveness.

There's a difference in price from a toyota to say a lexus or mercedes though. I think this would fall into that latter category.
