Holy comp picks coming our way!


Pete

Recommended Posts

Hughes, Addison, Sanders, Trubisky, Butler, Boettger, Wallace, Jones, Obada, Breida, Phillips, Zimmer, McKenzie, Neil are all UFA.  With our cap constraints, I can't imagine us making any big signings.  IMO we must extend Harrison and Levi, and maybe Siran.  I know the NFL comp awards system always screws Bills, just like the refs.  But everyone of those players will sign somewhere IMO.  Put that in your pipe NFL comp man- we will be awarded several comp picks, it's inevitable

You really think we are gonna let Wallace go?

Of course.  Bills keep guys like Wallace if they're willing to take less.  He's not a core player, so the Bills will be disciplined about what they pay him.

Fully expect Beane to re-work some contracts (Diggs) and possibly let Star go to create cap space.  Wallace and Phillips will be priority re-signings.  I could see them bring back Hughes, Neal, Zimmer, McKenzie and Boettger.  Bills have trouble getting all their picks on the 53 man as it is.

Bease is probably gone also, saving over 6 mil

Beane has had much success with mid round picks.  We have cap constraints.  So going forward, keeping core intact, and filling roster spots with rookies on 4-5 year rookie contracts makes perfect fiscal sense.  If we lose all our UFAs, we need to fill those roster spots.  And it’s most cost effective to replace with draft picks

I believe compensation is based on how much they sign for & how much they play.  Of course, you need to have a net loss, too.  I think the latter will be the case. 

I think we will retain one of Addison or Hughes, presumably for much less than they're currently making based on their performance & age.  The other will sign for a "reasonable" contract.

I'd like to see us retain Wallace & indications are that his contract, too, will be "reaSONBALE", ie ~$5m/yr.

I can see Trubisky potentially signing a "big" contract & starting somewhere, especially if Dabol gets a HC job & takes him w/ him.  This could be worth like a 3rd rounder.

Boettger, , Phillips & maybe Zimmer might get modest contracts, which might yield like a 7th or so.

The rest are basically near minimum wage type guys & won't yield anything (except in making us a net loss player-wise)

Beane has all his 2022 picks plus another 6th (Darryl Johnson) and 7th (Lee Smith).

Maybe a 3rd for Frazier like @Logicsaid earlier.

Maybe one or 2 comps picks (who knows for sure yet).

My other hope is IF some of these vet "cut" that people are talking about can turn into a trade by Beane instead of cuts the draft could

get interesting.  Beane would have some chances for wheeling and dealing.
