Lets get handy smurf!

Is this really exceptional in any way? Beane knows about and uses void years quite a bit.

Evidently NFL contracts have language allowing the team to make these decisions unilaterally. It is good for the player because it gets them money sooner. But Diggs did not have to agree to this restructure.

I dont think they have much space really. The new Guard is not yet on the books. They need money for the draft class and for in season IR, probably 10M or so total. I dont expect blockbuster moves at all, maybe a couple moderate signings.

no brainer

Chiefs traded hill and won the SB. Take a chill dude we do to sign a bunch of high priced guys to give ourselves a better chance. There is a lot mor e to it than that. Stop paying attention to shiny objects.

Maybe we can trade them a late rounder for George Wilson since Rodgers doesn't need him. Well the Pats should be squarely in last place so there is that. I get what you are saying but this will be temporary and I would take 27 year old allen over 40 year old Rodgers all day. Also, I would not jump to conclusions. Remember what everyone thought about the AFC West last year with the arms race behind KC and KC had to trade Hill for cap reasons. What happened? KC still the cream of the crop. Sam will happen in the AFC East.

But we can have 11 more WR's who I have had in fantasy football. Those are all Josh Allen "weapons"!!!!!!!!

so future TBD whipping boy?

did you just wake up after a week?

He will have a shot at another nice payday too in four years.

When does he graduate high school? Seriously, good for him. Too much for the Bills.

Man that hurts

So they massaged Watson's contract?

jealousy!

How, you just do. The money is guaranteed. The timing of when the payments are and what you call them for salary cap reasons can change.

he is an outstanding returner. I wanted this to happen.

Got it, when you said X amount of dollars and then you would rather spend that on a WR, I assumed that was one for one. I took it to be "the same" rather than more or less. Like you said there are a lot of factors to consider including cost in FA, what does the FA class look like for both groups, what does the draft class look like for both groups, other needs, etc.

A 10M guard and a rookie WR is cheaper than a 20M FA WR and a rookie guard. I guess the trick is it is easier to hit a guard in FA or the draft than a WR.

Can we imagine some OL and DTs?

Weird he seems slow in the NFL

That would be reasonable. Spotrac has been known to be wildly wrong on their valuations though. I like the idea, might be a good fit to go with Cook. Hines makes more than that right now.

He will want a big payday after last season. Not sure the Bills will be able to commit what he may get elsewhere.

I cannot understand the reasoning of comp picks.

The league overpays in free agency not just the bills.
