If he stays healthy Josh will make it look like a very good signing. Upgrade over Beasley for much less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrade over Beasley for much less money. I guess, but why is he even necessary. Gabe Davis is a better player for much much less. I’d rather draft someone like Pickens, Metchie or Williams.

Crowder knows how to do that. Can he do it as well as Beasley? And with the same sort of chemistry that Beasley had with Allen? Hopefully. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Bills signed Crowder? I'm not exactly sure why but, when he's healthy he's damn near unstoppable in the slot. At the very least he can be someone the young WRs can continue to learn different tecniques from. He gets open, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Mancz is a guy with 9 starts in the last 4 years, clearly a depth signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contracts are a lie I think this is how it breaks down: He will receive $19.97 million in actual cash for '22, which is $1.12 million base salary + $18.525 million signing bonus + $225k roster bonus + $100k workout bonus. It looks like the signing bonus gets amortized five years, which is where the discrepancy comes into play. So $18.525 million / 5 gets counted against the '22 cap. That makes the cap hit $1.12 million base salary + $3.705 million + $225k roster bonus + $100k workout bonus which equals $5.15 million. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football salary cap is a lie. Contracts are a lie Taking all of these things into account leaves me with a very uneasy feeling: either Brandon Beane is very good at what he’s doing, or his bluff will be called when we all least expect it and the whole franchise will crater and implode exponentially worse than when the USFL was awarded a measly $3. And that whole thing about moving numbers around should have us really concerned since it sounds a lot like Enron.

And that whole thing about moving numbers around should have us really concerned since it sounds a lot like Enron. Beane is a very skilled, savvy GM. He's not bluffing, and this is nothing like Enron. Beane is doing what most (all?) other GM's do when they are in his position (of competing for a Super Bowl). He's going all in. And with the way cap can be manipulated, there's no real risk of anything cratering. There will probably be a few painful cuts of valuable veterans in the years to come, but the Bills should be able to reload* pretty quickly once this roster has had its chance at winning it all. *The trick is getting the right talent when you do that. Of course, that's always the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
