Well SF got blow out by KC 44-23 with Garoppolo. So, if they were in the AFCW instead of the NFCW? They barely beat the Raiders 37-34. Having Purdy come in and manage the games as well as he did was pretty lucky. For an offensively minded HC it seems their D helped throughout the season. These types of comparisons are opinionated at best.

Doesn't shock me at all. They were pretty rusty last week. Give the starters 1-2 series, 2nd string 2-3 series and the camp bodies in for the rest.

I will agree with the bolded. Both Spotrac and OTC are "unofficial" numbers. Although, OTC does not add money to the Top 51 that Spotrac does. Example: Dorian Williams is not in the Top 51 but Spotrac adds $228k in Top 51 cap hit for his 2023 cap hit IF CUT. We all know Dorian Williams will make the team and between what I just mentioned and him replacing a higher paid Top 51 player Beane is not as bad off as some think. I tried talking about this in a post earlier in this thread. I do think that Beane is closer to having only do some small moves, after all the dust settles, than some fans think he has to do.

Thanks a bunch, jayg! I forwarded this to my nephew Adam (who just started college) and it's really going to be worth it. Sunday Ticket and Redzone for $119.00! The site also gives a step-by-step instruction for him to sign up which is great!

Kincaid was talked up by a lot of draft gurus. He has performed really well in camp. He looks pretty good in preseason too. I'm holding my excitement in check, but it sure is starting to look pretty, pretty, pretty good.

No there isn't. Beane doesn't need that much to stay under the cap though.

Obviously.

I always like to look at the Spotrac roster at the guys below the 51 cutoff and count how many are going to make the team in my view. Of course, 2 will be the 52nd and 53rd roster guys. As I see it those below the Top 51 are: Hamlin, Williams, Shakir, Benford, and Morris. Add to that list a good chance of some of these guys: Isabella, Shorter, Van Demark and a couple of other maybes. Then you got to look at the Top 51 and cut guys to make room for the below guys. It's a fun thing to do. I'm retired, so I got the time. LOL.

He wouldn't. SF is caught holding the bag on a rookie contract and they will eat a bunch of it if they want to trade him.

Milano has a huge amount of dead cap next year. He's not going anywhere. Your points about next year though have a lot of potential. I'm a compromiser in life so I see one of Dawkins/White as a potential trade/cap casualty. However, if they both play well it will be a great problem to have.

That is almost unbelievable when you factor in what he cost to draft!

A broken rib could take some time to get back to 100%. It could (maybe) be the thing that get Shorter and Isabella on the 53 for a longer look. Red shirting Shakir for 4 weeks also gets him back 100%. I guess it could happen if Isabella agreed to a cut and sign.

True. But in the past the initial cutdown was camp bodies that most GMs didn't care about acquiring. This new rule IMO was to keep those guys on the team to play a lot in the last totally meaningless preseason game protecting the depth from injuries. I guess we will see in a few days if it has changed anything.

That is a simplistic way to look at the waiver wire nuances in the NFL, especially teams who are 20+ on the list. There will be trades at cutdown time. They have averaged 10-15 each year.

As roster moves for talent, that could happen. Both moves (after replacing the roster spot with another player) don't net any real cap savings though.

If Siran Neal is depth at NCB there might not be roster spot for Cam. That is the point. Cam is on the bubble right now IMO.

Guys that have less than 4 years and would hit the waivers are one's that team way down the list might be interested in. Let's say a guy like Cam Lewis. He has some worth and could get a late Day 3 pick. I'm not saying he should be cut, just saying. Beane has to weigh whether guys like this, if cut, will make it back on the PS. A trade vs a cut for a guy like Cam also saves another $225k in cap for Beane.

Thanks for posting the past trades, very informative. I would imagine Beane is floating a few names to GMs and looking to add with a trade for one of his 6ths. For as much as he gets criticized by some fans, he is constantly doing his job.

All the players on IR are already included in the Cap Space on Spotrac. This means what's left is the 53 (2 added low $ players) and the PS (which will be somewhere around $3.7M). First, adding the 2 players will most likely be offset by releasing players now included in the "top 51" with rookies and others not included in the top 51. There also is dead money for some of these Top 51 players but typically it kind of offsets each other. What I'm getting at is that the $2.2M cap space minus the $3.7M PS cap hit leaves Beane over the cap by around $2M when all the dust settles. A couple of small "restructures" can easily be made to get under. As for how much he needs to get through the season, other small moves can be done when needed. So, I don't see any "big moves" necessarily being needed. Not saying there won't be one, just saying it is not mandatory. I do believe there could be a cut/trade (or even 2) that may surprise some fans. Beane knows he is tight this year (and next), so it will be interesting (for those of us who follow this stuff) as to how he handles things by next week.

Josh is used to having pressure right in his face. It will take him some time to trust the IOL and learn to step up and throw. It could very well be that when that happens, with his threat to run, it could very well make the LBs and/or SS take a step forward. Could be very advantageous for Dorsey to draw up some plays using that tactic.

I doubt this guy has anything to do with MLB. Bernard is out, Milano won't play, and I doubt they want Williams to play the entire final preseason game. I would think they don't want a veteran like Klien playing a lot, so this guy is a warm body in case another LB gets dinged Saturday. There has to be better players than this guy at cutdown time to address MLB.

Upgrayedd. The two d's are for a double dose of pimpin.

McDermott really needs to "coach" these vets about false starts, Offside and grabbing jerseys are against the rules. It's really puzzling that none of the peewee, high school and college coaches went over that with them. Maybe the coaches should implement daily "suicide sprints" for anyone flagged from the previous week. Worked for me in freshman basketball. LOL.

I tend to agree with who Josh Allen is, but I don't see it as a problem. It's who he is. He can tweak his style of play, but he will never totally change. We Bills fans IMO have to live and die with that fact. However, I really believe he can get us a Lombardi doing what he is does best.

Beane does need to look over the cutdown players and grab the best depth swing tackle IMO.
