Why is Miami is collecting fragile QBs? I guess if that’s you’re thing, then it’s better to have multiple ones.

The Packers are stealing here. That’s a bargain for Campbell. But I would not want the Bills to give Edmunds that deal.

Agreed. Gotta wait for the numbers.

Yeah. Saffold seems an odd choice. We dump Williams because he’s making too much and he’s not a good fit for the zone scheme we’re moving to, but sign an OG that, if I’m not mistaken, fits gap/power and is a good run blocker, but not very good in pass pro. I haven’t seen the contract details yet, but an early signing usually doesn’t equate to “on the cheap”. Gonna wait for that though. Edited to add: I see that he was on McVay’s LA Rams team for two seasons. He was already on the roster when McVay got the job, but he would’ve played in a zone scheme under him so there is some film of it.

I’m most interested in seeing what the first year cash payout and additional guarantees are

2 year deal being reported

Looking at the details, Morse got more guaranteed money in exchange for lowering his AAV. That was fair to both sides.

Okay, this seems much more reasonable. And that’s why people need to chill out until the details come out on any deal.

Changes needed to be made with the IOL and the Bills did that. The OGs are both gone. Our vet OC is staying and will be here to provide stability. Swapping out all three IOL starters would’ve been very risky and I’m glad that was avoided. My main concern with Morse is his concussion history. He was good in that regard the last season though and here’s hoping (for him particularly) that it stays that way. This just feels like the moves they had to make if they were comfortable with Morse’s health.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/jake-kumerow-17201/ Kumerow’s contract is indeed for the vet minimum of $1.035M. Notably he is eligible for a discounted cap hit so his hit is only on the books for $895k.

He is probably seeing if he can make more on the open market than the Bills offered with the pay cut. It’s a sound strategy for a guy who could sign as a starting RT or even a swing tackle somewhere. This is the thing about asking a player to take a pay cut. You have to be willing to cut them if they say no, or can’t agree on a new figure. This tells me that Morse is almost certainly staying this season. I can’t see the Bills intentionally going with three new starters on the inside.

Than you for your comments

We have not seen the details yet. I have to think that potential performance bonuses are included in that number. Also there was no mention of what his signing bonus was.

I’m surprised by this. He’s a nice dude and I hope he lights it up for us.

I stopped reading at that point. We absolutely need a #2 CB, but #1 seems set to me even if he isn’t back early in the season.

I am interested to see what Stefanski does with his offense if they continue to add quality to the WR room. It never clicked with Baker and OBJ, but they did try to open it up somewhat. It just didn’t work and people didn’t stay healthy. IMO the Browns have to give Baker all the tools necessary to be successful this season so they can make a decision on him.

He’d be a great fit for the Bills. Exceptional locker room guy who will do whatever it takes on the field to win.

Agreed. They’ll probably restructure Coopers contract too. Might as well kick some of his $20M hit this year down the road.

Nice walk back. That’s far different than what you said in your previous post.

I think that people who view the world in extremes or black and white have a difficult time with the nuanced and complex. As others have mentioned, they needed to make a trade for a WR as no FA WR was heading there without being overpaid even more than Cooper.

The Stefanski offense relay on quality route running. Cooper is a much better fit fin that regard than the freelancing OBJ was. That doesn’t mean it’ll work out in the end, but I think that is the rationale here.

The Browns really don’t have much cap space at the moment. After Njoku signs his tag and before Cooper is considered, they’ll have less than $6M. Landry almost certainly will be released.

The dead cap stays with Dallas. The Browns acquire his salary, which is non-guaranteed at $20M/year.

Literally the only thing preventing me from getting back into the stadium funding discussion (in the existing thread) is that I’m waiting on information from a quality, reliable source. The NY Post obviously does not qualify. I’m not saying that their article is correct or incorrect, just that they have no credibility. That makes it not worth commenting on at this point.

I believe that defensive EPA is calculated as having a negative impact on an opponent’s score and, thus, a positive impact on EPA for their team. Punters would fall into that category.
