Bills status for Week 2 of UFA (Beane: We are pretty much Done; now shifting focus to Draft. And LIED to all of us. ).


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Bills now have 4.6M in space (Mancz, Lawson, Lee, Phillips, Johnson, Crowder and Barkely not accounted for) - Keenum is and his new Contract of 3.5M

Also Bills currently sitting at 61 players (8 draft picks left)

 

Right now the next contract to fall off the top 51 is Nick McCloud (825K)  8 picks has Brandon Bryant (895K falling off) so a 4th round pick  will cost 5K increase on the cap, Third round will count 65K increase, 2nd round pick is about 300K increase.  People really need to remember each player added is discounted right now by the contract it pushes off the top 51.  

 

Using Keenum for example.  3.5M cap hit.  Pushed off Capra's (705K) so Keenum was only a 2.8M INCREASE against the 2022 cap

 

Big Tickets left to open the most cap space

Diggs - Extension

Poyer - Extension 

Tre White - Restructure

Dion Dawkins - Restructure

Edmunds - Trade or Extension

 

Still likely needed

 

Swing OT - I doubt they feel comfortable with Doyle in that role right now

 

UFA

Bryan Bulaga (33)

Eric Fisher (31)

Daryl Williams (29)

Zach Banner (28)

Germain Ifedi (27)

Cornelius Lucas (30)

 

CB (need one, maybe 2.  Right now it is Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis starting outside) - Tre likely gone for 6 weeks to start doubt plan is the unknown of what rookie falls to you in the draft.

 

UFA

Stephon Gilmore (31)

Joe Haden (32)

Kyle Fuller (30)

Patrick Peterson (31)

Tavon Young (28)

Kevin King (26) - probably more of a nickel 

Jimmy Smith (33)

AJ Bouye (30)

Steven Nelson (29)

Mike Hughes (25)

Mackensie Alexander (28)

Dontae Johnson (30)

 

TRADE

Bradberry

Gio Benard (30)

Darrel Williams (26)

 

TRADE - Based on Rumors

Barkely 

McCaffery

 

WR3/4 - Depends on how you feel with McKenzie or Stevenson (Hodgins Gentry) in the slot. - I think they will add a vet before the Draft though

 

UFA

Julio Jones (33) - Patriots

Jarvis Landry (29) - Chiefs, Bills, GB

Jamison Crowder (28)

T.Y Hilton (32)

Sammy Watkins (28)

A lot of material to think about.  Personnel moves will take into account the return job(s). If Bills think McKenzie and Steve son can handle it, then there isnt as much need for a "returner " at RB or WR. Could these 2,   maybe Hodgins, fill the slot? I'm leaning toward a versatile WR like Oliver in the 1st.

so a 4th round pick  will cost 5K increase on the cap,

 

I'm pretty sure that the yearly signing bonus for the rookies count against the Top 51 even if they end up under the Top 51.

The Bills 4th Round pick has a $195k signing bonus so one-fourth would be counted against cap plus your $5k estimate.

 

It's still way under what most fans think the rookie class costs.

Good job with your OP!

Dontae Johnson is off the market, he re-upped.

Different player. 

 

Dontae Johnson I have in this list is from SF.

 

Donte Jackson did re-sign in Carolina.

Where’d you hear this? Nevermind. You didn’t.

I’ll be surprised -if not shocked-if Tre isn’t ready to go Opening day.  But yes, we need at least 1 more vet added.

He really ought to change his name to something less confusing.

You want to try again? Nevermind. You won’t.
 

10.8 months has been the AVG timeline on an ACL tear in the NFL.

 

So using that, yep likely does not see the field until week 6. 

 

The Recovery

Tre’Davious White will need supreme conditioning of his thighs. Adrian Peterson famously came back in eight months to play after his ACL surgery. However, the average time it takes to return to play in the NFL is 10.8 months (4). With an estimated surgical date of December 16th, White should be back in October or November 2022. Barring an expedited recovery, White is a strong candidate to start next season on the PUP list.

No offense.. but should we believe anything BBB says during this time of year.  Remember what BBB said after the KC loss...   

 

“We’ll still have to make some moves but I wouldn’t see us being like big spenders or anything like that. But we’ll definitely look to fill some spots from the outside as well as retain some of our guys”

 

 

 

Go Bills!

I'm not sure how these statistics are accurate or not skewed.  Is being "back" just because he was ready by the opener but was actually could have played before?  Peterson was at camp I believe which is mid to late July.  I also remember seeing him doing plyometric drills I think in April of that year which is only 3 months after surgery.

 

I've known about 10 people who have torn their ACL's.  They don't have the world class trainers White will have and they're back usually after 6-7 months at full strength/training.

And it looks like we can likely do the same.  Time to shift to the Draft.

 

 

 

I seriously hope this isn't the case considering the massive hole this team has right now at the DB position.....

Well everyones body is different, those are the AVG timelines on recovery, and yes I know that they include bigger guys too like OL and DL in that, and smaller guys in theory should recover faster.  One thing that we do know it Bills will play very safe on his injury like they always do with injuries.

What has attracted players to the Bills is our world class training facility.  I think we got the top guys and resources to get our players ready.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he is back for the opener.

OK you are Building a Team....  Do you build your team with the HOPE his body responds and is back Week 1 (knowing your coaching staff plays it safe all the time with INJ) OR do you Build your team looking at this as your CB1 and CB2 right now....  Dane and Cam

I didn't think we were diving into this as well.  I expect us to draft a corner in the 1st two rounds this year.

I think you build the team knowing Tre will be back early if not the start of the season.  I think Beane knows we need more corners.

Just a note that while that is the average, it’s been trending shorter and that average also includes players with multiple ligaments or complications

 

Banged up Bills did an update where Tre seems to have avoided both.  His estimate was that Tre might try to come back early, but the Bills might hold him out 9 months which would be mid-Sept from his surgery.  Apparently there’s a higher risk of reinjury coming back sooner
