QB contracts are getting so crazy that honestly I'm of the opinion that if he's not legit MVP caliber you're better off letting him walk and drafting one. When you pay decent starters huge money you have to make the type of roster decisions that you can't afford to make unless it's for an MVP caliber player.

The contracts aren't going to be so goofy looking in an offseason or two. Keep in mind the cap is going to have some major escalations due to the new TV deals.

In fact if you look at cap %, at one point Peyton had a 20.5% total for Indy. Watson is a "projected"(likely less) 23-25% at his $72 mil cap hits in 2025 and 2026. 

That is just how much the cap has gone up.

Nah the main disadvantage for Buffalo in snow would be their inability to pass the ball like usual. Ravens don't rely on the pass like the Bills do.

The Bills were the 9th best rushing team this year

Lamar had 915 yards rushing this year and is anything but a power runner (what you need in the snow) who's running game is 100% predicated on his speed and ability to cut and make defenders miss.

In no way are the Bills more affected by a snow game than the Ravens are because of what it does to Lamar's threat to run.

Yeah, you can't eat up that much cap for a guy who isn't a legit MVP candidate.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
