All 7 picks make the 53-man roster (assuming health and lack of outright busts). 

 

 

Choices at 56 weren't offering compelling value so I moved back a little and compressed my pick selections from 10 to 7. 

Move them all the way out of the picks McDermott and Beane make and let the scouts make more.

Bills mock offseason: Free agents, draft plans, and trade markets

I don't want to give the whole thing away but he has a great plan for the offseason.  I will just highlight the big things. I will say I wouldn't even pick up the phone and call hollywood brown let alone 2 years for 18 million.

 

Bills cap space to begin the exercise: -$10.13 million

The NFL informed teams that the 2025 salary cap would fall between $277.5 and $281.5 million, so for this exercise, we split the difference and put it at $279.5 million. The -$10.13 million hole is far smaller than what the Bills had to deal with last offseason before cutting all their big-name veterans to clear cap space.

 

on von miller - resigned

In this case, I had Miller taking a $10 million pay cut — meaning $10 million in cap savings. It would guarantee him over $7 million this season

 

Restructures to 
Josh Allen, Dion Dawkins and Ed Oliver

 

Release Sam Martin and trade Elam.

 

he has the team resigning Douglas, Hollins, Ty Johnson, Reggie Gilliam, Ferguson and Quinton Morris

 

Trade for Myles Garrett

This Garrett trade breakdown seems favorable for the Bills compared to some earlier guesses/projections. Two late firsts is the cost here, essentially. Plus Epenesa is somehow valued enough in the transaction to be included at all (salary relief there?). No more or less valid, this proposal, of course, than any other as an entry in the ongoing chatter.

If it's just two 1s and epenesa. Obviously I think we should do it

There is a Bills 4th leaving and a 5th and 7th coming back, but those are whatever.

Just getting into the draft and learning prospects. Still have a lot of research to do.🫣

 

I did trade 62 for 83 and a 2026 4th with Pittsburgh. Only a 5 round draft.
