Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) 3 minutes ago, NewEra said: I haven’t seen the money but I like him if he’s around 2M- good special teamer, has size. Can make plays downfield. He’s not great but he’s good competition for WR5-6 I think it's likely a small guaranteed number. If he can't beat out shorter- then you cut Hollins, and the guarantee is essentially tacked onto shorters cap hit. You lose probably less than 1M in cap space, and shorter has to stay healthy and outplay Hollins. Edited March 13 by Bleeding Bills Blue 3 Quote
mrags Posted March 13 Posted March 13 8 minutes ago, No_Matter_What said: Now you are being completely ridiculous. Moves like this make it even more likely we are drafting WR round 1. Ok. With this HC and his love for his notational DEs I’m not so sure. Hope I’m wrong. I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong this time. And I’ll be praising them that they FINALLY drafted an early WR for Allen. Until then I’ll have my doubts. 1 Quote
starrymessenger Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) As a WR 5 this guy should be able to contribute. He may be wierd but hes also football smart. Quarterback friendly. Good hands. A very good blocker. Kroger will love him. He’s better than Sherfield or Kumerow. Like Morrow a good signing. I expect the Bills to draft 2 WRs. 7 minutes ago, Bleeding Bills Blue said: I think it's likely a small guaranteed number.

And when factoring in Hollins number, you then subtract shorters 875K because he essentially replaces him in the calculation for the 53. 1 Quote

ESPN literally had a the graph of 2022 where we had the most draft picks playing than any other team. Literally #1. McDermott must really be a good coach if he take take a team to the playoffs if we have the most castoff filled roster. I never said it was a $3 mil base in any post, it can be up to this amount per ESPN and Yahoo sports. Still wasted money on a player that should not have been signed. They commit money in a contract signing versus drafting someone for the same purpose and if a rookie can't make the team there is no lost revenue. Instead of being stuck with someone that will be on the bench. Let me rephrase cast off players to just players no one would sign for the money that Buffalo paid them to come here and play, these money pit contracts have been a habit of this ownership and GM for 7 years. Oh wait a minute, I hear that name coming again!!! Von who????? Enough said..... Edited March 13 by Toyo321 Quote

Thanks, Jrb, I hope it works out that way. I can still remember all of the excitement before we landed Mario Williams. It’s fun to be in the fight to land a big fish that can change the season (please no one bring up Von “DV” Miller). 1 Quote

Oh wait a minute, I hear that name coming again!!! Von who????? Enough said..... Lets play the cap math game... Say its a 1.5M cap hit, incentives to bring it up to 3 (playing time, stats, gameday actives). Signing him pushes a rookie deal off the 53 man calculation. A rookie deal is ~800K. So now you have added 700K in cap hit to the balance sheet. It barely registers. Factor in say... 500k is guaranteed. If they cut him, they add 500K to the balance sheet, when they bring back the ~800K rookie contract at the bottom of the roster. Quote

And also...in a deep class, the sixth player drafted at his position might be a really good player. You're being a Debbie Downer when there are plenty of reasons to be positive and excited. The last time there was a wr class this deep the 6th wr taken was Brandon Aiyuk and the 7th was Tee Higgins. But the "5th" best wr was taken where the Bills would have picked, and that was Justin Jefferson. 3 Quote

I can still remember all of the excitement before we landed Mario Williams. It’s fun to be in the fight to land a big fish that can change the season (please no one bring up Von “DV” Miller). They kept the band together for 2 extra seasons. There was a double down with von 2 seasons ago. Then last season they brought back poyer, phillips, lawson, and didn't make moves with players like hyde, neal, and morse. All of those things were done essentially with future cap space. Now we're feeling that cap crunch. By ripping the bandaid off this year, and generally trying to prevent borrowing on future cap, you can identify your window to potentially swim a bit more into free agency and trades. The key is to draft well, and get contributors on those rookie deals. 1 1 Quote

Everyone expected 3 WRs off the board in the top 10 and it ended up being 0. 1 Quote
BuffaloRebound Posted March 13 Posted March 13 If Beane is loading up on guys like Hollins, Morrow, and Cam Lewis, please bring back Ty Johnson a dude who actually helped us win games at the end of the year. 3 Quote

Got me curious 2020 draft. 2020 draft WR taken: 1) pick 11 Henry Ruggs III 2) pick 15 Jerry Juedy 3) pick 17 CeDee Lamb 4) pick 21 Jalen Regor 5) pick 22 Justin Jefferson 6) pick 25 Brandon Aiyuk 7) pick 33 Tee Higgins 8 pick 34 Michael Pitman https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2020/draft.htm Some good some bad... though I think it took a while for all of them to play at a consistent level. 2 Quote
Niagara Dude Posted March 13 Posted March 13 5 hours ago, HappyDays said: This is a Trent Sherfield level signing. I really hope this isn't the end of our WR free agent shopping. This has nothing to do with our passing game, he is a great run blocker. I hope this is not the end of receiver signings as you mentioned Las Vegas Raiders WR Mack Hollins is a Swiss-Army-Knife Sports Illustrated https://www.si.com › nfl › raiders › news › las-vegas-ra... Oct 25, 2022 — Pro Football Focus has Hollins as the highest graded run-blocker among eligible wide receivers (84.2 grade). With help of Hollins' run blocking ... I just hope were not going to continue to throw all resources at our defence so Mcdermott can play ground and pound football. Never winning anything that way Quote
streetkings01 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 How come we didn’t sign a stud all pro reciever???? Quote

Never winning anything that way I am to the point I don't give a **** if they can run block or not. Create separation, get open, catch the damn ball consistently.

Saxum Posted March 13 Posted March 13 2 hours ago, SoTier said: You might want to fact check your statements before you post them in the future. All of the Bills' first round picks started as rookies: Tre White - started all 16 games as a rookie Josh Allen - started 11 games as a rookie Tremaine Edmunds - started all 15 games he played as a rookie Ed Oliver - started 7 games as a rookie Greg Rosseau - started all 17 games as a rookie Kaiir Elam - started 6 games as a rookie Dalton Kincaid - started 11 games as a rookie Moreover, these 2nd rounders started as rookies: Dion Dawkins - started 11 games as a rookie Cody Ford - started 15 games as a rookie A.J. Epenesa - started 1 game as a rookie O'Cyrus Torrence - started all 17 games as a rookie Here are the other rookies who have started for the Bills as rookies: Spencer Brown - started 10 games as a rookie (3rd rounder) Devin Singletary - started 8 games as a rookie (3rd rounder) Taron Johnson - started 2 games as a rookie (4th rounder) Matt Milano - started 5 games as a rookie (5th rounder) Christian Benford - started 5 games as a rookie (6th rounder) Don't confuse him with facts. 23 minutes ago, SoonerBillsFan said: I am to the point I don't give a **** if they can run block or not.
