Both PS candidates

Late round pick swap is the early rumor. Looks like we just gave him away.

In case anyone asks...no. He's as bad as Kyle Allen.

Don't forget about Mims. He looked good as well. I would think one of Marlowe or even Zayne Anderson end up on PS as well.

With Bills cuts coming in, bumping this up top for discussion.

Please remember this thread is for the cuts. Keep it clear of Convo so people can get the information without scrolling through 20 pages. There is a thread Simon (I believe) started for the discussion.

We will all find out in less than 24 hours. Being we do not get to see what the team and doctors see and can't feel how he's feeling...it's all speculation anyway. Hopefully Von and the Bills do what's best for Von and the Bills.

I believe he failed Falling 101.

In 2022 he signed a 2 year $10M deal with Houston according to SPOTRAC. I would think he would be in that $3M-$5M/yr window.

Calm down, Jersey Mike.

He's not but what he is is a guy with experience at the back end of his career (read that as "shouldn't command a huge contract") and someone that Beane obviously liked before. It makes too much sense to me. I also wouldn't be shocked if he is added after week 1 when vet contracts are no longer automatically guaranteed for the season.

Buffalo tried to bring him in a couple years ago. He hasn't done much since but Beane does like to circle back. I'd keep an eye on this one...

To me this is the trade off of signing Rodgers. Knight actually played pretty well at RB. Cheap contract. But no space for him after signing Cook. Much like there was no room for Moore at WR after adding Cobb and Lazard for higher salary. They have one...MAYBE 2 shots at doing anything with this roster before they have to rebuild again...with less money and less good players under cheap deals.

I have seen Tommy Doyle play on 1 leg. I have seen Leatherwood play on 2. I would take a 1 legged Doyle.

One guy I don't expect to make the roster that I really hope we get to the PS is Travin Howard. Guy has really impressed me in the PS games.

Well, from the "could he be dealt" standpoint, anything is possible. Aside from a few players that have a contract where the dead cap would be unmanageable or a no trade clause, of course. There is a "purchase point" on almost every NFL player where if a team exceeded that point in an offer and the contract was doable...anyone is for sale So that would beg the questions, what would another team view his value at and where does Beane view his worth? If a team wanted to throw something ridiculous at the Bills...say a 2nd rounder then they would have to seriously consider that. And I don't see that happening. At the end of the day I believe he's worth more to the Bills 2023 (and beyond) plans that what they would get in value from a trade. Even if he didn't actually beat Dane Jackson out (I believe he did) he will likely see some significant snaps and some starts this season IMO.
