Hopefully you were siting down so the tent wasn't pitched.

I think this shows that players both want to be here and respect Beane that he will treat them fairly and try and work something out that is a compromise for both sides.

I'm sure other teams do it also when appropriate and needed.

There are times when Josh is...kind of depends on how quickly he needs to make guys miss from being under pressure in games.

He had a better year than McKenzie has ever had in 2021 with far worse QBs throwing him the ball.

Harty/Harris had a better year than McKenzie has ever had in 2021 with nobodies throwing him the ball. I am guessing they believe he has more to offer than what they have gotten out of him and in an offense like the Bills he will get the chance to show it. Likely an analytics based signing. He also was 6th in the NFL in separation per route run in 2021 only behind marquee elite players. Bills are banking on that to come out more with them.

That is peanuts. People up in arms about $5 million guaranteed are really trying to find things to be upset about. Working OT on it even.

This is what the Bills were looking at, IMO. Analytics that show a player who gets more opportunity in a better offense might give better production.

No they didn't, he was already under contract for next year. He took a pay cut to stay with the Bills.

Is Dulin from Duloc?

Bills are probably telling him: "Show us some consistency week to week". He either plays like a top end DT in the NFL or like a replacement level player and almost nothing in between. Gotta be far more consistent than he is and increase his floor level of play significantly. This is his week to week valuation on OverTheCap based on his play week to week and it pretty much sums up with a picture Oliver's problem. We know he can take over the game at times like he did in Detroit on Thanksgiving. We also know he can be completely unseen in games as well. Can't have those type of grand canyon sized differences between your best and worst games.

I hope he doesn't do anything to screw up our comp picks for next year that we have already earned and likely will add to when Poyer departs.

Were there a bunch of hot bikini clad women running around on it?

He already said don't expect that.

He wasn't being traded before that, wasn't being traded after it and won't be traded next year or the year after that either. People need to just stop with this nonsense already that they have conjured up in their own mind.

It means they spread out the cap hit over the length of the contract and freed up money this year.

He is really dumb for this reason...no matter how "good" negotiations go, it sets up "bad blood" between the player and franchise because the player says "I think I am worth this" and then has to hear all the reasons(some of which may be true that he doesn't want to hear) about why the team thinks he isn't and is only worth this amount. Those are things he may "hear second hand" from his agent but he wouldn't be present for the conversations and the depths and details that would be presented so he would mostly stay immune to that. There is a high probability this deal isn't getting done for this reason mainly.

Yeah it would. What's the point of winning games with a backup QB if there is no shot at doing anything once we get in the playoffs or even if we get to the playoffs. Having an unnaturally high pick due to QB injury is why Cincy was able to get Chase.

Does it matter? If Allen goes down we are f**ked. Would almost be better to have no backup QB to get a high draft pick and get Allen back the next year.

Nobody is giving Christian Kirk money for a JAG.

Oh...even better!

Not sure after the McGovern signing...estimate somewhere around $11-13 million maybe? Could be more based on how things are structured.

He literally had to do it or the Bills would be cutting people to get under the cap and have no $ to sign anyone in FA
