Chances that Hanyesworth will be in division

I really believe with all this money the Bucs just saved and the fact that the cap went up again. The Bucs will be able to make a huge offer to Haynesworth that no player would turn down even to stay with a winning team. I hate this cause Albert is a great DT and will make running the ball no easy thing two times a year.

Who have the Bucs ever paid huge bucks for? Haynesworth isn't worth 12-15 million per year. From 2002 until 2007 he didn't have more than 3 sacks in a season.

I hope Tampa pays a ton for him. I doubt it though. The way you get 40 million under the cap is not spending wildly on one player.

I say if anyone does it's Tampa. but the sirius guys bring up a good point. Tampa is about 50 mill under the cap now. If they don't go spend about half of it (Hanesworth, TJ Whosyomomma, etal) then they aren't planning on keeping their new HC. They are waiting till next year to get Shanahan or someone and have a ton of money available.

I am not sure that the Glazers spending money is related to how committed they are to their head coach. Maybe the reason they actually picked Morris is because he will work within the amount they will spend and not demand all of this high priced free agents as Shanahan would.

I guess we will see how active they are. From what I understand teams have to spend a certain amount of their cap or they are in violation of the CBA.

They have also made it clear they are rebuilding which usualy means through the draft and not through high priced free agents. But what do I know??

Why not just front load everyone's contract this season? Anyone they pick up in FA or the Draft should just be given a ridiculous front end contract that fizzles towards the end. That way, if they played it smart, they'd have incredible potential for a SB win in the next few years.

That would be one way to go. You could also extend current players and lock your stars in long term.

One problem with front loading draft picks and FAs is that if they don't produce or get injured you have paid a ton of money and wasted it. It is always easier to see how they turn out in your system and them pay them rather than the other way around. It is clear they are going to a youth movement and doing some rebuilding. I am sure they will be active in free agency. What everyone is waiting to see if they are going to sign some big name expensive free agents like Haynesworth or even make a run at a guy like Peppers or whether they wil go for role players and build mostly through the draft.

    • I thought he was from watching him play and also doing his first HC job. I thought he was the real deal  Apparently what happened is Kraft committed to Mayo and I don’t remember the timeline exactly - but Vrabel was unemployed at the same time Belichick was unemployed. They both were fired after the 2023 season.  Kraft hired Mayo. Who was kind of an obvious disaster. He probably already had the deal in place but I will give Kraft credit for not sleeping. With Vrabel out there for 2025 he made the move he needed to make and if it hurt Mayo’s feelings then oh well.  I guess you can tell I am not fond of Kraft but that was a really savvy move. At his age, pretty good. Still has it. 
    • It’s going to feel like a home game for the bills. There are so many of their fans that live down here now, and many of them have never seen Allen play in person since their last visit was 8 years ago. It didn’t matter for the cowboys game, but it might here. I think we likely lose a close one. Probably a questionable flag or two that doesn’t go our way. X factor for Buffalo will be Kincaid and Knox. If we do win it’s because we get ahead and play keep away from Allen. FYI- I have many friends who are Bills fans that are fed up with Beane who we all revere and think is the one that got away. They feel like he was great to land Josh but has done a terrible job of building around him (especially at WR) and rely on him to become super man to win- sounds kind of familiar, like the last time we had a franchise QB.    
    • I always thought of him as an uptight military family dude, didn't know he needs to wash that mouth out with soap lol.
