Is that an undeposited check from Josh Allen for $8m in that wallet?

Not to mention how often these don’t make the roster but cost from $500k to $1m in cap hits anyway.

But we have like 30-40 Cam Lewis’s where they have a bunch of rookies and castoffs. How has that worked for them? Oh wait.

Bills sign Klein or Mata - great moves they know the system and are McD guys. Better than what else you can get on the market. Bills sign scrub #1 - great move and better than Klein and Mata. Those guys are awful and should not be in the league.

Name an offseason they did not sign multiple DL?

You look at what they can do with no talent and they become scary when they have some pieces.

The team has lost 6 starters - C, WR, FS, SS, Edge, and CB. That is a lot to lose in one season. It doesn't matter if they were expected to be gone or not. Some have a plan to replace and some do not. But if the guys that are gone are no big deal why were they starting on a super bowl contender?

Glad this is not the Bills doing this.

Can you let me know in the next hour or so? Running into some meetings and would like a heads up.

Question I have is Beane trying to sign anyone right now? Were we talking to any of these RB's or other guys that signed? Are we talking to guys right now or are we just playing the waiting game. The way they handled the Allen restrux makes me think they are ok just resigning a few of their own, adding late free agents and the draft. Hoping that I am wrong and we can at least add a legit WR, S or DL.

Jackson threw for more yards vs KC in the playoffs than Allen did.

Ravens will be better with Henry. Cannot question that.

Roster changes thus far. Starters are bolded. Added: QB Trubisky P Haack Gone or Possibly Gone: C Morse WR Davis Edge Floyd S Poyer S Hyde CB White WR Sherfield WR Harty RB Murray RB Harris RB Johnson OG Bates QB Allen RB Hines DL Lawson DL Ford DL Joseph DL Settle DL Phillips LB Matakevich S Neal CB Jackson LB Dodson

So Bates 4/$64M beats out Edmunds 4/$72M? Edmunds is paid higher at his position than Bates in relation to other guys signed. Very odd how NFL is making these decisions.

Honestly if he was not already a Bill this would be like a Mario Addison or Quinten Jefferson type signing. Makes a play here or there but really does not add a ton more than a rookie or guy like Kingsley Jonathon. The Bills just like to stick with the familiar and are willing to pay a premium for it. Not a huge deal at $3M, but again when you shell out 5-10 $3M deal you lose the chance to get a $10M player in exchange for a few of those $3M guys being replaced by min salaries. Their style has proven to be get a lot of mid level talent rather than upper level talent mixed with rookies. It makes sense they can win in the regular season because you get a lot of consistency (plus Josh Allen doesnt hurt) but are lacking in star power come playoff time.

For the people who say he came on strong last year look at the stats. He disappeared most of the 2nd half and playoffs. He was a healthy scratch on two games down the stretch. Had very little impact after week 10.

Don’t think they can do anything again this year. But could be wrong.

That is my thought as well. Energy is down…

Allen will be restructured every year. Don’t get why they didn’t do the max.

Obvious move. Only question is did they limit the amount they converted for some reason? I had seen over $20m as the savings, as high as $24m.

How it works. If he did not resign not many would love him, it would be he was not worth keeping.

These deals kill me. We are so willing to waste a million here and there that could add up to a $10M difference maker. This role that Cam Lewis plays could be a rookie or min level contract. McD is stuck on keeping the familiar with all these guys. No I am expecting a rookie or similar value contract. Let Lewis walk.

I honestly hate these $2M deals that eat up space that could be filled by a rookie or min contract

Without a pass rush we have no chance on d. May as well go all in on o and not waste any money on d.

Hopefully Beane and McD arent betting on Von Miller being the primary contributor in the pass rush. The way he looked you have to have another plan and hope he can at least contribute something not plan on him being the guy.
