ColoradoBills Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Spotrac just posted Crowder's Cap hit. $1,980,000. Nowhere near that $4M number. Great job Beane! https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/jamison-crowder-16831/ 5 Quote

There are probably some bonuses "not likely to be earned" which might increase his earnings but holy cow. 1 Quote

He def won’t have the numbers Beasley did and I don’t think he’ll be first team all pro. I think the offense will be much different and the slot WR will get less snaps than the last 3 years. Throw in the fact that I expect Mckenzie to take a few slot reps + crowders inability to stay healthy. He’s a great add and a helluva slot WR. Love the signing, I just think he’ll have less snaps/targets. Quote

Expand I'd just like to put this out here - the Jets seem to have had a problem with their sports medicine/rehab staff the last few years. They were making visibly bad decisions about injured players during games and attracting controversy. I think it's possible Crowder is able to stay healthier here. As for what happens - that depends on both changes to the offense, and how much rappore Crowder builds with Allen. 6 Quote

This was reported as a 1 year contract worth "up to" $4M (it probably is - there may be $2M of incentives classed by the NFL as "not likely to be earned"). McKenzie's contract, OTOH, was reported as a "2 year, $4.4M" contract (after an initial report as $8M) BUT, it has been said to include $3.75M of incentives, which would actually make it a 2 year, $8M contract the same way Crowders is "up to" $4M Confused yet? Me too, but the the bottom line is, wait to see the details on any deal. Also, while it's not 100%, contracts do sometimes reflect the relative value teams put on players. I think some writers talking about the Bills were influenced by the report, $4M for Crowder = higher value signing. To the extent that contract reflects perceived value, Crowder at $2M cap hit this year ($1.1M guaranteed) is actually on a pretty equal footing with McKenzie ($1.9M cap hit this year, $1.25M guaranteed) 1 Quote
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Bills cap space after this deal recorded on Spotrac: $2.56M Not included: Lawson, Barkley Additional cap from pushing lowest deals off top-51:$1.76M Available cap to sign Lawson and Barkley: $4.32M I think 1 Quote
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 What happens to those 'difficult to hit' bonuses if they are hit- do they become dead cap next year? 1 Quote

Expand Not exactly. At the start of a new NFL year each team's cap is adjusted up or down accordingly due to these factors. Last week the Bills had their cap adjusted lower by $1.9M. 2 Quote

Expand The Jets turned over their training staff under Douglas, but the results have been similar in terms of man-games lost. There may be something to the grumbling of several Jets/Giants players that the field at MetLife sucks and increases the risk of injuries. 1 Quote
