Thanks, that's what I wasn't sure of in regards to an UDFA. Had to look up 2nd round tender cost ($3.3M for the 2020 season). I can see that or they sign him to a 3 year deal. Wallace will be interesting.

He normally wears this hat.

I fear I would have a stroke. I'll take the win though!

Pretty cool that the charity is expanding the program to include kids from Buffalo and Baltimore!

Ike was an UDFA. Doc or anyone else, do you know if there is an option other than the 1st/2nd round tender? I didn't think there was. If not they just got to deal with his agent and come up with a contract, correct? It seems to me that guys like Ike are players the Bills definitely want to keep but they will cost some money. Bojo and Wallace come to mind. Note: After signing the other bigger named UFAs I don't see the Bills having a lot of extra cash in the open market FA for players from other teams once all the Bills FAs are signed.

Funny that earlier in the year I was calling for Lee Smith to be let go and you made good points on keeping him. I have ate my crow after seeing his play this year. He did a very good job. I see him going to camp regardless of the money. Like you said the savings v his replacement in small. I'm sticking with what I believe to be the plan. Nate Becker and/or some other cheap blocking TE will battle with Lee for the blocking TE position. Bills have peanuts invested in the TE position and there will be a lot of players this coming year fighting for every position other than Knox's. IMO.

He will have to do on a much weaker team next year. Much weaker.

If you both want Lee Smith gone that's your choice but the fact is his 2021 Cap hit is $2.25. He's going to camp for sure and will battle for a spot after a pretty good (better than I expected) 2020 season.

Totally agree!

The ankle is allowed to move in this procedure. Great description (if indeed this exact procedure was used) on this video. We made plates and screws for the "screw type" procedures. This system looks much better. I think all this stuff is so interesting. https://www.ypo.education/orthopaedics/foot-ankle/syndesmosis-with-tightrope-fixation-t230/video/

Josh was cleared to play on Saturday. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2856214-bills-josh-allen-expected-to-play-vs-titans-after-clearing-concussion-protocol#:~:text=However%2C he is set to,the team's Week 5 game. A concussion suffered against the New England Patriots after a helmet-to-helmet hit from defensive back Jonathan Jones last Sunday forced the Buffalo Bills' starting quarterback off the field for the remainder of that game. However, he is set to return against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Bills announced Saturday that Allen cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, which makes him available to start the team's Week 5 game.

Agree especially the part about them doing a lot of restructuring. I used the wrong term "owed" as you pointed out. I was using that term is the sense of the Saints "reclaiming" any of the paid bonus to Brees now that he is retiring. I'm sure both of us are interested in how the Saints and Eagles move through this in the next 2 months.

All my friends who are fans from other teams are pulling for Buffalo. Broncos, Steelers, Bears, Giants and even my good friend who is a Green Bay fan wants the Bills to win Sunday. The Green Bay fan genuinely likes the Bills and it isn't about a "weaker" team he hopes to face.

Yes Void years. I just used the term some "capologists" use, phony. I was pretty sure it's money owed to the player but wasn't 100% sure. I'll take your word that it is. @jlgarshjust said $18M decrease ($180M) and I just looked up some articles on it. That's another projection. I was figuring it would end up around $185M-$190M when all the negotiations are done. After all is said and done you got to admit the Saints are in uncharted waters regarding the cap.

Someone sharpen a stick.

Como Lake Park was a GREAT High School party place back in the '70s. Spent a lot of fun summer evenings there!

Don't worry. It will. The Bills will pick up his 5th year option in March and his new contract will be singed by May.

If this end up being true the good thing is that it gives the organization a full year to "in-house train" any possible replacements for any of the Big 3 that might leave next year. Give a guy like Dorsey a chance to be part of everything Daboll does to see if he can pick up the OC duties instead of going out of the house for another OC as an example. Same with Babich (whose done it before) another shot at DC.

His status is not in the Buffalo Bills team or fans control. If he plays it will mean one way or the other between the "concussion" and his turf toe he will be in a position to take more hits from the Bills defense. My only concern (and I'm serious about this) is the refs flagging any close "touch" on him AND if he does get his bell rung again it will be to the detriment of the Bills player who hits him. It shouldn't be that way but I bet it has a good chance of happening.

My reaction to Yolo's post was to laugh. It seems to me that people can say any stupid thing that comes into their heads without any consequences anymore. In a just world he would be laughed out of the business with that comment. IMO.

Yep, actually would be the move to make. Duke is not being signed to come to camp next season and Kumerow probably is.

Of course not. It would ruin the NFL if it is ever tried. Player injuries are "the rub of the green"!

That's true with typical contracts and usually that is from "Signing Bonus" money returned for years not played. Brees contract is a mess. Some of the Dead Money is due to previous contract restructures. As others have already said, it's not clear how that's handled. I think it's owed Brees. The other question is these 2 phony years in his contract pushing his signing bonus out. I like the $ stuff and I don't know about that either. Everyone will get an education as to what happens in the next few months.

Winston is a UFA next year. They tank with Taysom Hill.
