We should have around 30M+ in cap space next year. They should 100% cut Von, he hasn't played up to his contract at all. I agree, I wouldn't cut Knox. I think that’s about the right number. $30M still will have you in the bottom 10 I would think. There’s enough to make a few moves. Other teams will have cuts and restructures obviously as well. I think the following year the Bills will have a lot of space. 1 Quote

Bad value for Dallas but Mingo is under contract cheap for the 2025 and 2026 seasons so that raises his day 3 value notably. Dallas obviously had a high grade on him in that 2023 draft. Quote
HappyDays Posted November 5 Posted November 5 (edited) AKA both of those players will be traded to whatever team makes the best offer. Hopefully we're in on SJD. Edited November 5 by HappyDays 2 2 Quote

Dallas obviously had a high grade on him in that 2023 draft. Yeah, receiver value is crazy. If the Cowboys believe that Panthers situation is a train wreck (which it may or may not be) they’re banking on the talent and frame. If he becomes what Gallup was, it’s a good deal. You need 3 or 4 quality receivers in today’s NFL. 1 Quote

Kirby Jackson Posted November 5 Posted November 5 I’d like to see some combination of Chase Young, Sebastian Joseph-Day, Darius Slayton, Jadeveon Clowney and Budda Baker. Ideally, I’d like 2 but that’s tight to the cap unless we have a player(s) going out. 3 1 Quote
PoundingDog Posted November 5 Posted November 5 I'm with HappyDays. In business world, you talk about figuring out an MVP at this point. For those who do not know, MVP = minimum viable product, meaning minimum effort, maximum effect. At the beginning of the year, I thought DT should be the focus and I actually expected them to draft 2 DTs, one 1 tech. Well, they signed Daquan Jones and Austin Johnson, banking mostly on Daquan back to his pre-injury 2023 form. He didn't. And Austin Johnson is pretty much meh like his whole career. 9 games in, it is clear how to attack the Bills D. You need deep passing threat to keep Bills playing 2 deep safety because their safeties are not really that dynamic and the overall secondary lacks speed, and then you need capable running attack to put front 7 in a bind with running and quick short passing. Mind you not a lot of offenses have both and the Bills can certainly get-by without doing anything in the regular season to have a good record. But in the playoffs, you are likely to face teams capable of both to various degree. The other hope is we have an offense that can score often and fast to make opponent one-dimensional. Well, it is clear that is NOT the case this year, even with Josh playing at near MVP level. It's more of a grind-it-out offense. It's hard to change the whole defensive philosophy mid-season. The minimum effort to me is somehow yo upgrade the DT position. I doubt that will vault us up to the top team in AFC but it is the most logical way to try. 4 Quote
BADOLBILZ Posted November 5 Posted November 5 28 minutes ago, HappyDays said: My thought is that the trade deadline should be about setting us up for the playoffs, not setting us up for November. Usually I am all about stacking the WR room, but unless Coleman's injury is a season ender we can enter the playoffs with a trio of Cooper/Coleman/Shakir. That is not a dominant group by any means but I'm good with it. We probably have the cap room to make exactly one trade (thanks to Beane's awful FA spending this year, but that's a topic for another thread). WR is the wrong position to use it on IMO. For me the position group most likely to kill us in the playoffs as currently constructed is DT and it's not close. We're going to see some great rushing teams in the playoffs - some combination of the Chargers, Texans, Ravens, Chiefs, and finally the Lions if we make it that far. And other than the Chargers, you also have to respect the pass for each of those teams. We aren't going to see any Seattle minus DK Metcalf offenses where we can just sell out to stop the run. Somebody up front needs to be able to make individual plays to shut down the run, and right now we don't have anyone on the roster capable of that. Eli Ankou might be our best run stopper which is insane. So give me a big DT and hope to enter the playoffs healthy. That gives us our best shot at making a run IMO. It's their glaring hole right now. The only saving grace if they can't get something done is the fact that run defense's automatically get better in the playoffs when the effort and intensity increases. That's why individual RB's never move the needle much for a team in the playoffs. That's why a Bills run defense that was getting trampled for historic numbers after the Dareus trade was later able to control the Jacksonville run game for most of that 2017 playoff game. When Baltimore loses you can expect a terrible stat-line for Derrick Henry. That's how it usually ends. 4 Quote
