When does Star get cut to create much needed cap space? He was a giant waste last year. 

 

When the answer to the question "so who else we got on the roster at 1TDT?" isn't "uh...uh....uh....uh"

Wouldn't cutting Star save us over $9m in cap space?

NOPE

No. That's not how contracts and dead cap work.

Look at the Dead Cap column, and subtract it from Cap Hit column to get your savings.

Negative.  $1.5M now, $4.1M if cut with a post-June 1 designation (but then the cap relief doesn't apply until post-June 1)

The Bills were never going to sign him for what he was looking at moneywise.

If Chandler wanted to come here, and we didn't sign him but meanwhile kept Edmunds at $12M.....my god

Uh….why?  Is this one of those time machine things?  5th years are guaranteed and this decision was made long ago.  The money for Jones would come from somewhere other than Edmunds….always would have and still will.  It is entirely unrelated.  The Edmunds stuff on this board is insane.  Do you think if the Bills traded Edmunds in 2019 that Covid would have ever happened?  Bat at a wet market? Nope.  Lab leak?  Nope.  Edmunds.  Definitely Edmunds.  Also that Russia Ukraine thing seems suspicious too.  And did Gabby Prtito’s boyfriend look strong enough to you to do all that murder stuff on his own?  Wasn’t the murder done in the off-season where Edmunds whereabouts are unknown?  Hmmmmmmmm

From what I’ve read, Bills could get out of it after next year if it wasn’t working out.  And we can always redo his deal as well, and I would suspect that if we did trade for him that discussion about that would be done before we did.

 

Personally I still think it’s more plausible we end up with Barkley.  But the CMC trade is more doable than people think. 

 

Have to take 13 million in Dead Cap to do it: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/christian-mccaffrey-21749/

 

And this thought that you can always re-do players is getting out of hand. You can't just snap your fingers and re-do deals. The other party has to be okay with it.

I mean, who would you rather have? Can you imagine a Secondary of White, Jackson, Poyer, and Hyde? 

Either sign them or keep quiet

I am going to assume that Beane has a plan in mind for the Bills back-up QB situation.

 

Something that us mere mortals cannot see.

Yes. And then you have to factor in how much his replacement will be paid.
