Haden is such a perfect fit.

It's actually simple. Bonus money can be spread out over the length of the contract. Base salary can't. Base salary can be converted into bonus money and spread out. So you can keep doing it but there's a risk. Once the player you keep kicking cap down the road for starts to decline you start to get into trouble. I mean the Saints cleared like $80 million in cap without cutting anyone. Owners don't like giving out all that bonus money.

If they wouldn't give Levi $4 million they must have a plan. Patrick Peterson is a possibility.

It's the same contract as Chandler Jones but with cap pushed back. So 2 years from now there will be a high cap hit but there ways to work around it. Josh Allen has huge base salaries. The easiest way to clear cap in 2024 and 2025 will be to convert those base salaries to bonus cash. Plus the TV money will boost the cap a lot. In other words don't worry about the cap numbers.

This contract is the Chandler Jones contract on steroids. Pay no attention to 6 years or $120 million. It's basically 3 years for $52 million or so.

My guess is backup QB will be signed in the summer.

Can't wait to see the breakdown. I don't believe the contract is much different than the Chandler Jones deal, just longer. The final years probably easy outs. My guess is its technically 3 years and a little more than Jones contract.

Did he actually put pen to paper yet? 😉

Star saves over $4 million if cut post June 1. If they sign him for anything $4 million and under its a win.

Just keep handing out bonuses every year instead of base salaries. Very simple. It will eventually catch up to you.

I want to sign a veteran CB also. WR at 25.

Now we need a CB that wants to win to sign a cheap deal here.

I want to add this for the Sabres comments. They have signed the #1 or 2 UFA in the NHL multiple times. They did everything they could to put the best hockey team on the ice. They just couldn't find their Beane and McDermott to build structure and a winning culture.

Am I the only one that remembers getting excited at the Senior Bowl in 2011 when Von Miller had a Bills hat on? This was a long-time coming.

So how many times do you think Beane's wife rejected him before she finally said yes? Lol. Every big name player we've brought in after failed attempts prior.

Perfect TE2 with upside as TE1. I felt he would go somewhere as a TE1.

And people hopefully now anyone that didn't understand before understands now. Cap space is never written in stone.

It's going to happen. Not their fault Jack Eichel is a clown.

The best owners in sports. Let's get this championship!

It's time we start to appreciate them.

Brandon Beane right now...

From Chandler Jones to analyzing Jordan Phillips Instagram posts.

Felt like reminiscing. Went to YouTube to watch Jordan Phillips highlights. 1st game is the Bills making Saffold look foolish. Now I'm sad.

I'm putting my phone down and waiting until I hear the Shout song. Finally start some work.
