Just a bizarre story. Expand I'm posting just to clarify how suspensions impact the salary cap. Since you posted this and received alot of likes/agrees...just want ppl to understand full dynamic at play. Perhaps someone already posted on this, i haven't read all 19-20 pages. Cap implications: 1. Base salary: whatever Hoecht and Ojis salaries are, divide by 17 and multiply by 6. That amount is forfeited by the player (weekly gamechecks) and Bills re coup in cap space 2. Signing Bonus/Performance Bonus: Im not sure, but think "likely to hit" performance bonuses can be adjusted based on suspensions. But more importantly, signing bonus prorated amount for 2025 will have same "math" applied as bullet #1 (players will pay back this portion and team counts as a credit toward cap). So we will get a salary cap windfall from this. If we have the contract details, we can do the calculation. My guess is Larry's will be the biggest savings, perhaps close to $2m (will depend on void years). Hoechts will largely depend on how much is put into salary/Bonus for 2025. Also, any guarantees could go out the door...might make cutting Larry easier, depending on how contract is structured (although not sure we approach like that). Main point, it doesn't make those numbers "shocking", we essentially get to reduce a Sizeable portion of 2025 cap by >33% 1 4 Quote

Billsatlastin2018 Posted March 15 Posted March 15 after the Buffalo Bills agreed to terms with Larry Ogunjobi, the team learned he will be out for six games with a PED suspension to start the year. AFTER… Beanie, the NFL Village Eedgit! Quote

PoundingDog Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Hoecht addressed at length. Seems to be sincere. Beane said they watched closely last year how Rams tendered him. So apparently they had eyes on him for awhile. It's an over pay but he immediately becomes the biggest LB the Bills have. Maybe he does become the Lorenzo Alexander for McDermott. 1 Quote

He was just advised of the this as the contract was getting inked in the past couple days, and has no history. Man of the year candidate. -the contracts are both being adjusted accordingly, as reported -people think a ped suspension means the person is a raging steroid freak when in most cases it’s a supplement or a recovery booster or something like that they were taking. Still on the nfl illegal list but… so all the pitchfork crowd can rightfully be upset about is signing Hoecht while knowing his situation. Period. Expand Hoecht said he was getting all of his supplements from his trainer. Additionally he'd have them tested to make sure he was taking what the product was labeled. Since he hadn't had an issue, he trusted his trainer and got complacent with the testing. After the season he was notified he'd tested positive for testosterone. 2 Quote

I'm thinking like 5% tops. He KNEW about Hoecht, and signed him anyway. Question his judgement in signing the guy if you want, but it wasn't a matter of "not doing homework". Ogunjobi's result came back during/after the signing process, he informed Beane immediately, and Beane went forward with the signing because, among other reasons, he said the free agent pool had become depleted at the position. So here again, question Beane's judgement in going forward with the signing if you want, but this one ALSO wasn't a matter of "not doing homework". Expand You mean he didn't need to put Matlock and Magnum PI on the case? 😛 Edited March 15 by stevewin Quote
