Beane's exact words (when asked if trading Ford got him where he needed to go for the 53-man cap) were "I'm going to do something probably this week" and "I'm probably going to do, Um, ah [looks down] a restructure this week"

 

I think we're gonna see a move this week, but I'm not sold that it's going to be a restructure.  He said first he was going to do SOMETHING, then he said "probably going to do a restructure".

 

Poyer has a $10.8k cap hit right now, according to Spotrac.  Just sayin'.

 

I was thinking if he was going to sign one of those guys, he would have done it already.

Restructure or something, something could be a trade, I guess.  

 

I'm not one to imagine in any way I know more than the guys at OBD.  I get a kick on trying to guess what they are thinking.

Sounds like you do too.

Can you imagine this place with a similar situation to the Lawyer Milloy trade (think he was similar age and contact status too right?) and losing in a blow out week 1?!

Damn. That's a real bargain for a player of his quality.

Neil Pau'u

 

My thought when I saw Ike was PUPed today was Pau'u had to be relieved..

Yeah, I like to try to read the tea leaves

 

I wouldn't rule out an extension.

 

Buried in the publicized 53-man roster cut deadline of August 30, is the quiet actual expiration of the 51 man salary cap (vs 53 man plus practice squad having to fit under the cap).  This year that will be 12 am September 8, with 4 pm September 7th being a deadline to file any contract changes

 

As far as would have done it already, Beane has previously signed players to new contracts in the week between roster cutdown and this quiet, less publicized deadline.  For example, Tre' White was signed on September 5th 2020. 

 

If a player and agent are playing hardball, they may not want to reach an agreement too soon, but there's an additional impetus for the players to sign before the season actually starts, especially if the new contract has fully guaranteed salary for the next season and/or injury guarantees and they're in their last year.  

 

Avert, but you don't need to be a tea-leaf reader to know that a player who suffers a season-ending injury during his last year under contract, is likely going to take a big hit on a new contract especially if he won't be available at the start of the following season.  So a player may be willing to negotiate a little bit more to get 'er done.  I don't see Knox being "into" contract negotiations right now, and I think Beane has made it clear that he's gonna "wait and see" on Edmunds. 

 

Poyer I think could happen.

Why? He’s a wide receiver.

It puts him like 14th for safeties overall in AAV, so yeah. 

 

The other side, though, is that only a couple of those guys were pushing or over 30 when they signed.

 

I think he deserves to get Paid so I hope they can work something out.  Pay Poyer!

By my count, it makes him the lowest paid safety in the league in AAV.

Beane really is a wizard.

I think Pau'u is a prime candidate for the practice squad.

 

There have been good things said about him in camp, and he was a good receiver at Brigham Young. Very good potential.

Yep.  Just the name that literally popped into my head.

I'll take that season outcome. Milloy wasn't a trade though. New England released him and we signed him.

Moving arguably your best defensive player right before the season sends the wrong message to everyone on the team.  I suspect our team is a lot closer off the field than the Patriots were.

Yea usually that has to come before you can even make the AFC or NFC championship 

[boco357]

Just looked at the line for this game and I know most will probably sit, but the Bills are plus 6 points right now.

Well, this is probably his last year in a Bills uniform so I think a lot of it depends on what or who you are getting back.

Any player suggestions?  Trevon Diggs and move him to safety hahaha?

It does?

 

The Bengals just went to the SB after going 4-11-1 in 2020… The Bucs won the SB the year before after finishing 7-9 in 2019.

 

What are you talking about?

So that means the Chargers are automatically going to do it? Bucs got Brady so only 1 time and they got lucky. You are Scottlaw so it isn't surprising.

Take the Bills and the points.  Our backups will wipe the carpet with theirs in the 2nd half.

It wouldn't be safety for safety more than likely. It would likely be for a future asset if it were to happen because I don't see another team trading us a player with more controlled years for a 31 year old safety who wants big money when he hits 32.  To be clear, I don't think it will happen at all. However, if it were to happen I wouldn't be shocked. Jaquan Johnson can play, they drafted Demar Hamlin and Josh Thomas is also pretty decent as depth. Ultimately I don't think anyone will offer up a package that would be more valuable than Poyer is to the Bills this year.
