Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Just now, Gregg said: Next offseason we will have the cash. I expect (hope) Beane is aggressive in FA in bringing in a true #1 WR for Allen to throw to. Should we start sowing the seeds of discontent among the WR1s in the league? * Maybe we can pick up a 'bargain basement - CFL' cast off. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Beane has a chance to sign a top WR he has to do it no matter how this season plays out. This year feels like a reset where the Bills might take a step back. Next offseason the Bills will be able to reload not rebuild for 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next offseason the Bills will be able to reload not rebuild for 2025. I'm not sure I totally understand this line of thinking. Given how teams can backload contracts, if the Bills truly wanted to make a move like this, they could. (at the deadline more likely due to lack of cap space) We have some bigger contracts (potentially) coming off the books next year & the year after in Milano, Von and Knox. Maybe you shift some money into future years and that means you can't re-sign Spencer Brown. So, for me, it's kind of a "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" need for restraint to not immediately put yourself up against the cap VS if we plan on making a move like this next year, why waste a year of prime JA.. just do it now and get creative with future cap, knowing you have some bigger contracts you can shed in the next 1-2 years.

papazoid Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Spotrac says Bills cap space is $5.7 mil for 2024 and $3.5 for 2025 NFLPA says Bills cap space is $10.8 mil for 2024 guessing Aiyuk wants +$30 mil that makes Aiyuk to buffalo a big NO bills will be using day 1 and day 2 draft capital in 2025 to improve the WR group...plus bargain FA in 2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansLanda Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Regardless of the future contract extension, any team who trades for him literally needs to have $14M in available cap space for this year. Something we do not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePJ76 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 if they were to pay aiyuk then i would start to believe what I read here about Bean not understanding wr. Aiyuk is not worth the trade capital it would cost nor the money he is asking for. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wonder if the NFL has rules against fans "donating" money to NFL players? Particularly free agents? NCAA does it. America's entire political system is built on it.

SCBills Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 (edited) Not saying it will be us trading for him, but with the Trent Williams news about wanting to get PAID.. I just don't see how the 49ers can also pay Aiyuk. They have so many high level players on that team to go with the upcoming Brock Purdy decision/contract.

BeastMaster Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Only losing franchises give up valuable draft picks and pay handsomely for that player by giving them a big, new contract. We have a franchise QB that will soon be making 60+ mil per year. You have to build through the draft to have good players under cost control You'll get a shiny, new toy next offseason 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I would like to hang onto the $10M Tre white money and see what’s out there at the trade deadline relative to greatest need, then package the Diggs second round pick. Could be an edge or aiuyuk if SF collapses again due to injury, or metcalf if Seattle is going nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
