No, no, no, no..... if we want a pick for Cody they need to not put him on the field in pre-season. Wait for a team to have a major oline injury in camp and then give them a call and offer them Cody for a 2023 6th rounder. 

I am holding out hope that a new offensive coaching staff can help unlock the potential Ford flashed his rookie year at times. I know the flash were  brief, but many of us felt a transition to guard would benefit Cody and the team. If he is healthy and has embraced the role, we could see that he can be an adequate guard in the league. Let’s give Kromer a chance, if he can’t maximize Ford than I guess Cody’s only shot is a change of scenery for any chance in the league.

Cap hit this year: $3.5M (less than the $3.98M 2nd round tender)

Cap hit next year: $4.5M

Guarantees: $2M signing & roster bonus, this year's salary, next year's salary

 

Per Spotrac, Bills cap space remaining after signing Bates $1.09M

 

Unsigned player: Taiwan Jones (will probably not lower free cap too much, since he will displace a player who currently counts against the cap

Interesting. So at the end of the day, it is not a frontloaded deal at all. If Beane and co think that he is at least average starterthis was a no brainer.

 

It is essentially 9/2 deal. Now we need him to be at least slightly above average starter for 2 years. If he is better and stays longer then this was a great deal.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
