Nope.  
 

Would take a lot of maneuvering to get space to make a big move.  Have some big ticket items coming down the pike in Knox and Poyer.  Maybe Edmunds.

 

Heck, Tarron Johnson is a cap hit of  9.25 million next year!

10 sacks last season and 5 came in one game. Not gonna cry over this.

 

Like with Antonio Brown and JJ Watt...sometimes things happen and it turns out okay. 

Vonn Miller anyone?

I'll make an exception for a Hall of Fame DE that just won the SB to electrify the D.  

 

He didn't come to Buffalo just to get paid dude left L.A. to come here.

So the Raiders effectively paid the same rate for Chandler Jones that we are for Von FREAKING Miller.

 

Beane is a wizard.

It hasnt sunk in that he will be in a BIlls uniform next year.  Pretty mindblowing.

[BuffaloBills1998]

Just shows he’s looking for a quick pay day. I’ll laugh as he wastes whatever he has left on a dysfunctional raiders team

What bad contracts contributed to the mild mismanagement of the cap? As far as FA signings the Star signing was probably the worst, but more so because of his c19 opt out year (we’d be able to move on with very little hit this year if not for that). 
 

The Spain resigning wasn’t great, and the Williams resigning (in hindsight, but at the time, it was the right call). 
 

Beane hasn’t really paid big bucks for FA’s and he has generally resigned our own to reasonable contracts. 
 

I really don’t understand where a comment like yours if coming from? The Bills FO is more about developing talent that is drafted, and they won’t all be star players. But, they have done a good job drafting overall and we are only going into year 6, but year 5 of Beane as GM. 
 

Personally, I feel like Beane and the Bills FO have done a fantastic job! They don’t typically overlay for FA, mostly by avoiding the big ticket names, they draft well, and are very reasonable with contracts. They even had to adjust course with the c19 impacts to the salary cap. 
 

We are one of the top teams in the league, and our cap situation isn’t bad at. At this point, our key to success is to continue drafting well, having starters on rookie contracts and, and savvy via cost benefit analysis in regards to FA signings (in other words, don’t overpay for the big names because it’s rare that they play up to their cost). 

Name a difference maker besides Josh or Diggs? Until today, Beane has never been creative with the cap, maybe he was waiting for the team to be ready. Sorry you wasted all this time typing out this useless drivel, he has always signed middling players paying too much for too little hopefully that has changed.

I thiink the Bills will find a sneaky good DE to sign. 

Good call

[muppy]

needless to say the Von Miller signing makes not getting Chandler Jones a much easier swallow. Im feeling FINE tonight mateys!~!~!!!!

[JerseyBills]

Great player but he's no Von Miller. Seriously though, Millers impact in the run game is on another level.  Similar pass rushing game

I understand the cap.  They could have made room, done a long term deal, etc to spread things out.  That's not what Beane does.  He never maxes out his credit card.  His  moves are measured and look at the long term effects.   I would have loved Chandler Jones, too.  Just not at that price tag.

You were saying?  Keep the cap stuff to the big boys.

Look at what I said in the Von Miller thread.  Von Miller is the type of player you DO break the bank for.  He plays big in big games...especially the playoffs.  Chandler Jones is not that player.  So...no...I still wouldn't have broken the bank for Jones and likely Beane wasn't willing to do that either.  Von Miller is a totally different story.  This move was measured by Beane...and very stealthily done.
