Why almost everybody keeps saying he is not tradeable? I am not saying it is a good idea but we can definitely trade him. He has cap hit of $27,854,000, if we trade him by tomorrow he'll have dead cap of $31,096,000. That's like $3M more. If we somehow trade him for let's say Cowboys pick no. 24, we can draft new WR with cap hit $3M and voila - we have new WR for $6M higher cap hit this year and like $25M lower cap next year. So again, why it is so impossible to trade him? Now if you say that it will make us weaker because Thomas is not Diggs then fine, but it is a different conversation. To be clear, I am not saying (i) we should trade him, (ii) we wants out of (iii) we can get round 1 pick for him, I just say that Bills can easily trade him. Especially if someone is ready to give us R1 pick. In fact, if Jerry wants to do that, and there are any indications that we wants out, I'd seriously consider that. Draft Thomas and one of Legette/Mitchell and start a new era. If we draft two, the chances that one of them will pan out as WR1 are considerably higher. And we would have much better situation cap wise going forward.

Dion Dawkins extension details: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/dion-dawkins-21805/ Saves about §6M this year. Cap hits: 2024 - $11.5M 2025 - $20M 2026 - $23M 2027 - $23M + 2 void years with total dead cap of $4.6M

Breaking we have Dion Dawkins extension details: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/dion-dawkins-21805/ Saves about §6M this year. Cap hits: 2024 - $11.5M 2025 - $20M 2026 - $23M 2027 - $23M + 2 void years with total dead cap of $4.6M

I wanted to post this as soon as I saw the title. Brandon Beane QB drafting school.

Not sure he'd be fine with Dion Dawkins tho

People keep saying this but I don't see it. John Brown has career YPC 14.9 and had similar number while in Buffalo. Samuel has 10.7 and it was even less last two years. I am not an expert but it clearly seems that he won't play John Brown's role unless we use him differently than he was used before.

Could you please link contract details? I am not able to find them.

Yolo in his prime wouldn't use all CAPS in the title You'll make me happy if you edit it.

I don't watch Commanders like at all but judging from his stats (10 YPC), does he play strictly slot?

Now you are being completely ridiculous. Moves like this make it even more likely we are drafting WR round 1.

Happy I agreed with this post but now when the contract details are out there it looks much better. He is really cheap.

It's on Sportrac now. Much cheaper than advertised. Only $3,1M over two years instead of $4M. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cam-lewis-29585/ @Process tagging you if you wish to edit title

I really hope Beane comments on this somehow soon.

Interesting. Does this mean that they are off WR market at pick 8? They already have London, Mooney, Pitts + Robinson.

Agree with everything, just minor correction - there are 2 void years, both have dead cap od $1M, so total of $2M accounted for in 2026. Deal is really good value for the Bills imo.

Yeah but it is not only before DQ signing. It also doesn't count AJ, Cam Lewis and Morris, as well as Dawkins extension and Knox redo.

This would be fine, hopefully not more, even though I think he deserves little bit more. Maybe with some incentives build in.

LOL Packers

How come last year no RBs got paid and now the same guys are getting crazy contracts? I know this RB draft class is percieved to be weak but still... Anyway, I am happy it's not us who pays RBs (and hope it stays that way).

So a 3rd round comp pick which will be somehow demoted to 4th round from no reason at all?

I'll never forget your Pitch Perfect cameo. David, can you handle this?

This is a good point. If Von and Knox can restructure their deals to include some incentives (I assume it is also Knox's case), Bass is primary candidate to do the same.

@BuffaloBillyG

Now you got me confused It's still there.

Thanks a lot, but I don't think we understood each other. I knew everything what you wrote (at least I think so haha), but my question was slightly different. Pls look at Sportrac again, there are two "Matt Milanos" out there in both 2025 and 2026. In 2025, he has "regular" cap hit of $16,122,000 and dead cap of $2,586,000 in orange. And what I say is that I think that orange line with dead cap shouldn't be there, since it is already included in his actual cap hit of $16M (or to be exact, $1,293,000 is included in cap hit in 2025 and other $1,293,000 in 2026). My question is if this is right, i.e. if Sportrac really has it wrong and the other Milano line shouldn't be there (making our 2025 cap situation better than it shows). My understanding is that you actually implicitly confirmed it above, but want to make sure.
