If I was the Bills I say fug them picks, their SB window is now and closing soon

With our luck, he'll be Florida bound...I could see them saying, "fug them picks," as well.

I agree.

Fwiw, I doubt the Cowboys would be willing to deal him to any NFC team, unless one of them makes a ridiculous offer.

 I think Jones will be unwilling to deal him to a NFC rival, but stranger things have happened.  Bills are in cap hell right night.  Chargers seem to be in the best position of those four.

Polymarket Blitz twitter seems to be the only place with this information right now. I can't find it anywhere else.

I feel like it will be the Bills, Patriots, Cardinals or Seahawks with a preference to trading to AFC

I mean, you have to expound.  You don't think that Micah is better than Brown, and it's not worth throwing in an extra third? 

@Basbear any thoughts?

 

You cannot trade Dbrown this year or next due to his massive dead cap. Thanks to teppers wallet, Dbrown has a huge guarantee and thus trading him cause a 47,500,000 cap hit along with paying Parsons 41,000,000. It doesn't work at all, with Icky and BY are soon for huge hits as well.

Of course I would, if the cap didn't matter. I almost know if every player entered a draft pool, atleast 20 out of 32 GMs would select Parsons as the first non-QB for the draft. He's that well thought of. Just NFL has these silly rules and there's not many teams able to give Parsons the current value, that's a problem for him.

I want to let you know one are one of the few posters that I stop and read. You have that much power with me, have so for years and I will continue to enjoy yours and a few choice others postings. If I hurt your feelings or you are too bothered to read my 7th grade grammar/spelling, My brother please use the ignore function to rid yourself of my posts.

Godspeed and keep pounding.

Lol.  I don't take anything in the interwebz personal sir.  

If my banter offended you, that certainly wasn't my intention. 

 

Keep pounding.

I'm no cap person or contract lawyer, so I have to rely on AI in this specific situation for clarity. That being said, ChatGPT says that we would only be responsible for $20 million, but could designate it a post-June 1st cut and spread that burden through 2026. According to Chat, whose sources are OTC & Sportrac, DB's signing bonus was $25 million (and five mil has already been accounted for in '24). As for future salary, (basically the guaranteed part) of course that would be the responsibility of the Cowboys.

And what if Bryce regresses or stalls at super mid? I know everyone is excited about him playing better after the benching but the reality is that he was still very mid-level it's just that was a massive improvement from the dumpster fire he had been.

I just can't rationalize trading away future 1sts before the QB issue is definitively answered.

Hate that it's true about BY, but I agree with you. We don't know what we have with him yet, and while we've seen glimpses, it hasn't been a full season of recognized potential. Trading for Micah and then having BY not fulfill our QB needs would wreck this franchise. I know pass rushers dont grow on trees and you get them when you can, but we're not really in a position to do it. Feels like buying a Tesla when your power just got shut off because you couldn't pay the bill.

"Wreck" the franchise? I think that's a little hyperbolic considering all the acquisitions that were made. I thought the franchise was wrecked after Bryce's first month. Just thinking of the king's ransom that we gave up for him sent shivers down my spine. But now, we've kinda gotten through that. 

I know that I'm projecting, but I think that it will become very evident fairly quickly that the O-line and offensive skill players won't hold the team back. That being said, even without Bryce, I don't see us being an absolutely "wrecked" franchise. Ostensibly we're building to the point where others can succeed if Bryce fails.

Eh, happens. We'll be a young team with no firstsor QB but a young talented offense and a defense with pieces if everything else falls into place. We'll have to figure it out with QB but I think it's worth the risk unless I think my roster is bad enough for Arch I'd say it's worth the risk. Rather figure it out with Parsons on my roster.

It's never gonna happen so I can just discuss the hypothetical since we'll never actually live in the reality with the consequences.
