Yes, start at the Bank of Josh, then stroll down the road to the Bank of Von. Voila! Cap space! 

Its all relative. Our main competitors in the AFC have equally or greater restructure opportunities.

Looks like the Bills will be players in free agency after all 

Beane knows how to work the cap and not restrict his ability add. While we might not give a Vin Miller but if we can get better than we had last year is ultimately what matters.

I think the position cost would have been too high to grab a decent CB in free agency with what he has already committed to Tre' White.  Teams can't afford to have two top tier CB contracts on the books anymore, just like you can't afford to have two top tier WR contracts on the books at the same time. You need to have one of your CBs on a cheap rookie contract.

Ya, I think I would have liked to see J. Bradberry in free agency and an attempt at helping Josh out on the offense through the draft, but hindsight is 20/20. I really did think Gabe Davis was going to ball out last year, and spencer brown would continue to progress. So it’s easy to see why he went that route at the time.

Imagine Vin and Von on the ends, with Van calling the play-by-play. 

 

Epic.

Beane never goes into the Draft with a glaring hole in the roster.  He will work free agency like he does every year to fill the holes in the roster and walk into the Draft able to go in any direction.  That's his MO.

 

well, the first part about roster filling is correct.  Then it’s grab the top D player in round 1, preferably a DE 😜

So the re-structures didn't happen.

 

Misleading title.

Yup, I think they'll also approach Tre & Dion. Not sure if they'll mess with Milano or Diggs though? We need enough for Tremaine's replacement,  an olineman and WR.

Which indicates that at least one has happened......

 

They have like 10 days until the league year begins..........obviously re-structures are coming.

 

In other news............"Here come the free agent signings"

Ha! Here’s the funny part! I’m sitting here brushing up on my minimal french skills using Duolingo in advance for a trip to Paris in a couple months. (I did take 6 years growing up, so I’m not starting from scratch.)  Maybe that’s why my mind went here, but my iPad would have given me that damn buzzing sound! 😂 

Don’t waste your time Augie. We’ve generally found that everyone in Paris is more than happy to speak English with you. 👍 Super envious! Enjoy your trip.

But isn't it generally true that if you at least attempt to speak the native language, the locals treat you with more respect than if you just start blurring out stuff in English?

Thanks! That’s what I hear, but it’s fun for me and something to do. I took 6 years of it and took some standardized test with a couple other kids for my high school. 

 

I’m more concerned about Italy after Paris. We found in Spain and Portugal there was less english than I expected, and “donde esta el bano” came in VERY handy a few times when in need and looking at blank stares!

That is something I thought to be accurate, but I don’t really  know. I don’t want to be some arrogant American if I can help it. At least try a little.

And Brandon is not going to get in the bidding wars he doesn’t do that
 

He is very strategic in the guys that he brings in

Really need to put in that sarcasm emoji

I think the league new year begins on March 15th, so only five days away.  Need to tender restricted free agents by then and be under the cap.

100% agreement. 
 

Dawkins and White are the only viable big cap hit candidates. Really don’t see Milano being restructured; if anything he warrants more money via an extension and we’ll with Diggs being restructured just 2 years ago I find that will be a tough task to ask again. Had we made a Super Bowl or won a Lombardi? Totally different. 

[John from Riverside]

I mean, he might know something or he just might be looking at it from a common sense perspective
 

These two are structures are going to happen

 

The question is what will be done in addition to this you need a certain amount of money to sign draft picks, but that would not create a ton of money to make huge moves, which I don’t expect Brandon mean to make anyway

Saturday is coming.   It's a lock.  All indications are that Sunday will be next.

My wife and I booked our next cruise, August 2024, 9 day Greek Island cruise. The port is Rome, so we're spending a week in Italy after the cruise. I am currently using the Pimslur app and doing (somewhat) daily lessons in Italian. I want to know as much Italian as possible before we travel.
