Hopkins alone is $12 million this year.  Jewell is $4.5M.  Suh played at $2M last year, though he may be cheaper this year.  Where are you getting those 3 players in at roughly $4.3M total?

Contracts are prorated and the cap hit is lower after signing bonuses are taken into account.

Yeah, I understand that.  The website I saw mentioned he had a base salary of $12M, which generally isn't including the bonuses.  I see now that it is on the site.  Jewell does have a base salary of $4.49M plus roster bonuses by game.

I'd trade Gabe Davis and a draft pick to Indy for Michael Pittman Jr. Pittman is unhappy with the way he's being used in Indy. He's got upside, is good at everything, only 26 years old, 6'4 and 220 lbs, and is in the final year of a budget friendly contract that fits in perfectly with the limited cap space we have. If he plays well for us we also have the option to sign him to a long term contract.

 

 

Dorsey would Use him as a blocker

Hopkins cap hit is something like 1.9 for the year

Brandon Beane has drafted 43 players not named Josh Allen.

 

-> 2 of the 43 have been selected to a Pro Bowl.

 

-> 1 of those 2 is no longer on the team (Edmunds). The other is Knox.

 

-> 0 have been All-Pro's.

I say use the draft picks.

Where would we get special team players and depth if we trade draft picks?

The phrasing of this is interesting. "Recently" doesn't indicate that this just happened, but that it happened a little while ago. Why is this leaked now?

If it was more than a week ago we would’ve heard about it since it’s reported to the league.

That's all Josh needs: two divas yelling at him on the sideline about not getting the ball

Well, Dorsey likes to have all his receivers run to the same spot on the field.  Could be fun to watch DHop and Diggs fight for contested catches between one another.

We're bringing in a player we won't ever use.

 

Viva La Process

Yup it’s getting ridiculous. McDermott and Beane are going to waste Josh Allen’s prime years. What a waste. 

[Low Positive]

I wouldn't make any trades that involve draft picks until after the game on Thursday. If the Bills lose, I would keep the picks.

Diggs is elite at a lot of things... contested catches are not one of them.

 

We don't have that guy on the roster.

I'd rather see a LBer or WR.

Unless this was purely done for roster call ups/operating money.. I don't think you pull a lever like this unless you have a move lined up.

Bills are $4.84M under the cap...knox playing or not is still factored in. They can elevate someone from the practice squad, trade or sign a street FA...

This would be the 1st I've heard of a guy costing more on the cap because he's injured
