Spot on.
Az is not in a position of power when they made it known they want to trim payroll significantly.

- IonSabres


They do not have to move Kuemper. They made it known they want to dump payroll but they have options on whom they could move make me believe they are waiting teams out.

I balanced the salary. See my above post on this page. The market for Kuemper among teams with enough cap space to absorb his contract without salary moving is very soft
- jcragcrumple


Sure, but balancing the salary takes away their main motivation to trade him....
which is to save $$$

If that goes away,
I don’t think they’ve got a good reason to move him right now

They're about $3m over the cap. If I recall correctly, word was that anyone over 25 was viewed as tradeable.

We could probably get Raanta for cheap
I think we’d all much prefer Kuemper though

Raanta is unproven as a starter

Kuemper has finished top7 in Vezina voting the last 2years

It’s an easy choice for me anyways

Interesting aspect coming out about the new ideas for return to play. Teams may be able to go over Cap with 1 yr deals.

CBC says they will no longer use Blackhawks when referring to the Chicago NHL team.

Some kind of profit sharing, richer teams able to absorb having no fans, help out the teams that would have problems. Think they were talking 1 or 2 1yr deals over the cap.

I am interested to see what Oline the Bill's come out with, be the 1st week all year having all a healthy one. I won't to see that Running from last year, will only make Allen more dangerous.

Josh Allen deserves all the accolades he's getting right now, but Chris Simms might be the national driver of his bandwagon since before he was drafted...and Nick Wright might be the bandit trying to dismantle it.

They are going to run into teams like the Rams, Bucs, Saints, Steelers, Colts and will need to become diversified on offence and hope their defences are up to the task

The Bills will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl if they can get anything of substance out of Moss/Singletary and figure out how to stop the run.

They have the horses in the secondary to slow down slow down high octane passing offences but getting gashed for 150+ yards on the ground isn’t going to cut it.

I think you see more Butler playing 1 Dt, it's not his position, but has played well playing it, he's are biggest Dline man. Milano is eligible next week and Edmunds seems to be getting healthier too. And if they get any semblance of a running game going, only makes Allen better, play action becomes bigger, and Allen excells at that, and makes teams keep safety's in the Box, opens up those deep passes again.

Yes sir.

From what I have watched of the Bills they have used the screen game and short passing game as a substitute to the run game, Allen has his designed runs as well.

Sooner or later though they’ll need the O-line to open up some holes and get something going with Moss and Singletary like they did against the Pats.
