That's an extreme example...........the Bills had like $30M in cap room so they were hardly that broke..........but the point being that limited cap space in year one is irrelevant if there is TONS of it available in the following year(s). The Cousins deal was a 3 year deal with all base salaries guaranteed..........expensive for sure........but not likely to ever result in any dead money..........they are committed for 3 years and then it's over with zero dead money. When you have RIDICULOUS amounts of cap space like the Bills have this year and next........with almost no free agents of their own to re-sign........you can do things like that. It would have been stupid for the Bills to pass on a free agent they really needed last year...............and I don't think they did...........they just got turned down by guys like John Brown.......like I said.......for reasons partly their own doing it wasn't an attractive FA option.............but again, it sounds better to cry poor. thanks for taking time to explain and for examples. ? 1 1

I trust these guys far more than those fellas.

I mean they need half a dozen new starters on offense alone. Forget DT and DE. I know you can’t build an all star team with top guys at every position but they are not one year away from contention. No way.

Dareus had a cap figure of $5.7M in 2018 and $9M this year..........but the Jags can cut him with zero dead money because that's all base salary. Star has an $11.5M cap figure in 2019...........and if the Bills tried to cut him they would have to eat $12.5M in dead money because they guaranteed him $25M at signing.? Noacls was not totally wrong if I am looking at everything correctly. I believe you are thinking of Dareus’ 2017 cap number when you mention the $5.7M. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/marcell-dareus-7718/ Dareus had a $10.1M cap hit in Jacksonville in 2018 and has a $10.585M cap hit for 2019 (if the Jags keep him. $0 if cut, as you mentioned), a $14.6M 2020 cap hit and a $14.65M 20201 cap hit. And remember, that cap hit would have been higher (for 2018, 2019 and 2020) if he had remained with Buffalo. His cap hits in buffalo would have been: https://www.buffalorumblings.com/buffalo-bills-analysis-all-22/2015/9/12/9310199/marcell-dareus-contract-details-buffalo-bills-full-breakdown 2017 - $16.4M 2018 - $16.58M 2019 - $17.9M 2020 - $16M 2021 - $14.65M The Bills did not save much in 2017 and 2018 salary cap space (about $5M in 2017 and $2M in 2018 cap space) but they saved a lot of money owed from 2019-2021. Here is a breakdown of what the Bills saved by trading Dareus: https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/10/27/16562802/buffalo-bills-salary-cap-ramifications-for-trading-marcell-dareus-to-jacksonville-jaguars All told, the Bills spent about $47 million on Dareus and saved a little more than that (on what was still due) by trading him. Which is about equal to Star’s contract if he’s here for the entire 5 years (5 years/$51 million). But Star will have on average a $4M to $6M cheaper salary cap hit the whole time. for comparison, Star’s cap hits: 2018- $6.7M 2019- $11.5M 2020- $10.1M 2021- $10.85M 2022- $10.85M Dareus did have a $13M dead cap hit for 2018, if you wanted to include that. So 2018 is really the only year where you could say star cost us more ($6.7M + $13M dead cap vs. $16.58M if Dareus were on the Bills roster). Edited February 16, 2019 by BillsFan4

Round 3, Pick 32 (No. 96 overall): Harrison Phillips, DT, Stanford Andy Benoit's grade: B+ The estimable Kyle Williams is probably playing his last season, and the Bills likely hope Phillips can be the run defender to replace him. To replace Williams’s pass rushing, however, they may have to look elsewhere. Round 4, Pick 21 (No, 121 overall): Taron Johnson, CB, Weber State Round 5, Pick 17 (No. 154 overall) [via Baltimore]: Siran Neal, CB, Jacksonville State Round 5, Pick 29 (No. 166 overall): Wyatt Teller, G, Virginia Tech Round 6, Pick 13 (No. 187 overall): Ray-Ray McCloud, WR, Clemson Round 7, Pick 37 (No. 255 overall): Austin Proehl, WR, North Carolina(only one no longer on roster) Well said, and in my book, inarguable.
YoloinOhio Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 If anyone listened to Beane today I’d be surprised if this deal isn’t done soon 1
sven233 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Matt Parrino @MattParrino 47s48 seconds ago Despite tweet Jordan Phillips HAS NOT re-signed with #Bills just yet. Brandon Beane told reporters this week he’s hoping to chat with his reps in Indy this week. Stay tuned. Who knows what his tweet means, if anything, but if he does come back, I hope we get a decent price on him. He was pretty good at home, but sometimes invisible on the road. Consistency has always been an issue with him. Edited March 2, 2019 by sven233

And so do I. I just don't want to overpay because I don't see him as a dominant starter at DT. He is a great rotational guy, though. Edited March 2, 2019 by sven233

Could be but, Josh Allen is a gamer so not that far away, add three oline counting a tight end, bonifide #1WR, RB but think Shady will have a better year. Defense, DT, Cb, LB, but the most important thing is coaching! Play to are strengths and be unpredictable, did I mention Josh Allen?
