Dude, it's a great show.

I agree and they give the Bills much respect.

This probably means that one of Hyde/Poyer and one of Edmunds/Milano are gone after this year.  Knox can have part of Edmunds’s money (I think he’s the one to leave), and Davis (who is getting a big contract) can have the rest of the savings. (Oliver need to get paid, too, but I think offense gets the money for now.)  I wouldn’t be surprised to see Edmunds moved at the draft. 

Bye bye Edmunds. I won't shed a tear. He's under performed to say the least. He can easily be replaced.

I’m awful with cap stuff. Can someone please explain how this extension impacts the cap this year? 

 

his current cap was about 2 yr @ $18/yr and his new deal is 4yr @$26/yr (18,18,26,26,26,26=140)

 

bills can get creative and change that to (10, 10, 30,30,30,30=140 )

If you don’t like Kay and Kyle, there is something fundamentally wrong with you.  That’s not an opinion

 

I've stated my affection for Kay Adams many a time on here. Kyle is a bit too much for me.

Beane has to draft well. No more d ends. Get new starters at lb, wr guard and safety this year and next to bring the cap hits down. Also probably means have Davis is a trade target next year. If he goes off this coming year you trade him and replace him.

Great news.  

 

I'm just hoping, with Allen, Diggs and Miller taking up so much cap space, Beane scores some hits in the draft.  We need contributions from guys on rook contracts.

Another top notch move by the Pegula's and this Front Office. Who WOULDN'T want to come to Buffalo at this point?

we really need to re-sign manny! It sounds like he might still have the itch. 

Just doesn’t have the skill anymore.

Three more weeks from tomorrow until the draft. It's going to be interesting to see what the Bills do. Do they stay at 25, trade up or down?

In general I agree but its very unlikely/almost impossible that 2nd year will be so low from the beginning. It will be more like 10,22,26,26,28,28.

 

But it is also very likely that next year we will need to kick some more can down the road, so we restructure him and it will in fact end up like you said (and last year or two he will not be here and we will eat som dead cap).

 

Anyway with this extension I think we are already nicely over the 2023 cap

They have been eying safeties in the pre-draft process.  This will almost certainly be the last year of having the Poyer/Hyde combination in the backfield - one or both of them will be on a new team in 2023.

I'm sure Beane was just about to trade Diggs, but after Whaley's comment, he decided to extend him. At least that's how it happened in Twitter world.

 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

I think Edmunds gets traded before the draft. His cap hit is/will be too high. Just speculation of course.

Think that seals the deal for the Bills 1st round pick. I'd be surprised if it's a WR unless one falls in their lap. Unlikely since so many teams need a WR. I think it's the best available CB. 

To me, it makes drafting a WR even easier.  It won't be misconstrued as an attempt to get rid of Diggs.  It won't cause any angst in the locker room.  It will just make the offense more potent.  (disclaimer I am a WR in the 1st diehard advocate).

Wow, this is insane!!! 
 

 

 

 

In a good way of course!

Bye Tremaine.

And poyer.  I dont think it's one or other it's both.   There is a reason we have 2 safeties visiting.  We can't pay him top money in a safety friendly system.

Love this!!! Love it!!! I was starting to get worried.
