No_Matter_What

Haha true. But I'd add that there are probably even more players passing through that hallway today...

We already know. $3.5m was converted with 3 void years, creating $2.6m cap space this year and same dead cap in 2025... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/rasul-douglas-21841/

I loved Morse and he was great for Josh. Thanks for everything Mitch. On the other hand, I absolutely love what Beane is doing last 3 days. It gives me hope that he is serious with getting younger and keeping cap situation as healthy as possible. This might mean he can manage this year without needing to touch Diggs' and Miller's contracts, which would be huge.

It's moving so fast that nobody knows. By the end of the day we will be $100m under the cap lol

Wow. Are we sure we have still Beane as GM?

Like I said, won't happen. We are drafting WR.

Cmon, just stop. 1. Beane is too smart to draft safety in the first in general. 2. There isn't one close to be worth it this year. 3. We are drafting WR in the first this year almost no matter what.

I love this provided Beane doesn't plan to find another player to replace him. Just draft 10 rookies and fill the roster with them.

His salary is $7.7m, savings are $5.7m. $2m dead cap.

Well I can't say this a boring day... Seems that Beane wants to do everything today. Another surprise imo.

Adam don't be lazy and provide us with more info... Is this an extension?

Wow. Now I am truly surprised. Anyway, this is what I wanted from Beane, more tough business decisions. Thanks for everything Jordan and Micah, it's really a shame that your era didn't bring Bills SuperBowl. Team will be different without them.

Somebody needs to tell Beane he is supposed to get under the cap... Very nice signing imo.

Quoting you again today but I have to. Love this approach. I won't cut Poyer but I fully agree with your overall point. Let's do a hard off-season, push as little cap to next year as possible, sign 1-2 solid FAs and fill the roster with draft picks.

Oh now I see I am not the only one I wrote something similar couple posts above. Exactly this. Don't fill all holes by vet FAs before draft. Draft good and roster draft picks.

Am I really the only one who doesn't see this 5th round pick as ammo for trade up only? I for one want Beane to use those pick to draft 10-11 players and then I want 8-9 or them to actually make a team. Don't bring tons of random useless vets, draft and use cheap talent.

@HappyDays Pls edit the title, he is now re-signed by Tampa (page 5).

Interesting. There was some info it won't happen because of the deal we had with last year (after his non football injury). Anyway, seemed like a no-brainer to me.

Do we know who did the Bills meet with at the combine?

I'd say there is like 85+% chance you'll be thrilled. Edit: Meaning we are drafting one of Thomas, Mitchell, Legette, Worthy or Franklin.

How many 1st round grades do you have this year? You usually mention it but I don't remember reading it this year.

You mean a WR who gives us edge? Sign me up!

Agreed, and I'd love not to touch both Miller and Diggs. But do you think it is actually possible? If I do all the basic conversions + all the expected extensions (Dawkins, Johnson, Douglas) + cut Hines & Harty I end up with about $20M in cap space and about 38 NFL players. Then I add 7 draft picks (I hope 7+ make the roster) for $10M + $4M for PS players I end up with maybe $6M for remaining 8 players we need and at least 1-2 of them will be midsize FA. I know we can still cut White/Morse maybe Neal/Poyer and there could possibly be some paycuts but I'd be truly surprised if Beane manages not to convert Diggs or Miller. I'd love that though and I hope Beane sees it the same way.

Great news. It helps us a lot. But we are in a big hole anyway. I really hope Beane will be responsible and tries to create healthier cap situation for following years. Cut some vets, restructure only one of Diggs/Miller, cut Tre if needed, don't bring more than more expensive FA (preferably safety), bring back some cheap vets, draft 7-8 players who will actually make the roster, then fill the rest with FAs available after draft.
