Day 3 pick, take a flyer on Dont'e Thornton.

I'll admit I don't watch many Chargers games so I'm not familiar with him. Looking through his game logs it looks like he was having a very good 2023 season until the knee sprain made him miss 7 games. He had 133 yards against the Chiefs. He also had a concussion in 2022 and missed a game. Contract probably will be back loaded so I guess we see how he fits in with Josh. Welcome to Buffalo Canada's son.

I mean Dyami Brown just got $10M.

Jets in a tough place. They did it to themselves. Fields may be a decent bridge QB, and he can get the fans excited now and then. But the thing is he probably wins them enough games to keep them in QB purgatory.

Jets get Justin Fields.

That's what it seems. I just remember seeing him on both sides. Thanks.

What side of the D does Sweat generally play?

Right.

I wonder what Tyreek Hill is feeling about his worth after this signing. I foresee interesting complications down in Dade County FL.

I couldn't agree more. I looked hard at their money situation and this makes zero sense. I typically sympathize with football fans when their team continuously screws up, but I don't know how fans pay money for a game this year. Watson's game checks are a joke and then Garrett squeezes every drop out of their *****.

Damn your eyes.

He could have played the year out and then pushed hard to move on. He had options. I don't blame him for taking the money. I do allow myself a laugh at his attempt to claim his goal was to win a Lombardi and then give that up so fast.

You got that right. It will only go down yearly from there.

Josh Allen could have reset the QB market but chose to sign for less than what Dak Prescott signed for last year. Myles said he wants to play for a contender and then signed for a team I would imagine won't see the playoffs for his entire contract. Is that really worth $5M AAV when you have the money you already have?

Of course he does. You nor anyone else is not going to change his mind. Let him be who he wants to be.

Just to remark on some cap details. For those who like to follow contracts in terms of team cap %. Spotrac has Josh Allen's new contract at 19.7 %.

LOL. He was busy signing Josh Allen to $55M per year. Garrett can take his 40 and play golf in January. That's what he chose to do.

Some fans, especially ones who want to find a fault in things just don't listen. The initial report is not an extension, it's a 6-year contract like you said.

Fans of the Buffalo Bills should take a moment to realize what Josh Allen just did here. HE is all in on everything Buffalo. I for one am proud to be a Bills fan today!

You sir are on my IGNORE LIST for life.

No. They shouldn't have because of Watson. They just pushed out his cap hit (now $54M and will be even more next year) into 2027 when he will no longer be on the team, and they will be FORCED to take the cap hit. The cap hit will not "disappear". https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/21753/deshaun-watson

LOL. I have, but I would never have come up with the way you put it! Cleveland is pretty crazy too. Tripling down with the Garrett signing is pretty wild. I'm not sure yet, but I'm getting a feeling that because Beane, McDermott and Josh are all tied together at the hip that a cap push is coming. I want to see the contract structures and what they get done in FA. This is a good year for Beane to sign FA players. He is not getting anything in comp picks with the outgoing FA group.

You should post this in the Salary Cap Thread to give some fans the basics of the cap.

Dead Cap is part of the system. Currently with Von's dead cap Bills have $27M. Miami has $30M, NYJ have $45M and the Eagles have $60M.
