He is a really good pass rusher
That’s what they cost

True, so it’s risky
But he’s a beast when healthy
3rd best pass rush win rate this season

Hopefully he gets banged up the weeks before we play them 🤣🤣🤣

I think he has done a fantastic job of not kicking the can. It is one thing to go over the cap. It is another thing to keep trading away all of your draft picks like the Rams have done. He can make a move or two without hurting us next year. I think he has built up enough depth that we won't miss a couple of picks next year.

He restructured a lot of Contracts this offseason freeing up money this year that will affect us down the road. He kicked a lot of cans. But he also sets his contracts up for certain players that will be able to free space down the road( Josh, Miller, Tre)

Plus the cap is been rumored to rise by about 25 mil a year for the next 2-3 years. They will be okay. Make a move now to win the SB. Worry about the cap this off season.

I agree, just within reason. Jacob's wouldn't hurt us.

Wasn't that the team he bet the Falcons would beat that caused him to get suspended?

The #Broncos are trading for #Jets pass-rusher Jacob Martin, source said, one of several players expected to fill the void left by Bradley Chubb. Denver is giving up a 4th round pick in 2024 in exchange for a 2024 5th.

Right, but he didn't come within 10 miles of what the Rams (trading picks) or Saints (cap) did. He has played this all very, very well. He did sacrifice a little cap in future years to throw a little more gas on the fire.

No, doesn't mean he didn't kick a lot of can. Bills only have 38 players under contract next year. And depending the Cap which won't see that big a jump next year, probably the year after. The Bills are 16 to 20m over already.

What Ridley did doesn’t even bother me that much- as long as it was always betting on his team to win

Sure, but that really isn't much of anything. They could be compliant really quick by not re-signing 3 or 4 guys and making some smaller moves. Other teams have had much bigger messes.

We can restructure Josh & Von & probably Diggs too, but after that idk when we can gain more room

All these restructured deals gotta be paid at some point though

Much different situation when you are the manager of the team as opposed to a player. Either way, they knew the rules.

"I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team, I believe in my team," Rose said in a 2007 ESPN Radio interview. "I did everything in my power every night to win that game."

- homiedclown


Yeah, that was actually done about an hour ago
Minor deal that slipped through the cracks i guess

Makes sense for both teams
Wilson knows the offense & will be a decent 1b behind Mostert
Obviously SF didn’t need him anymore after getting McCaffrey (& still having Mitchell)


Mitchell could’ve been a great guy to pair with Cook going forward for us, but he’s hurt too much
And Singletary has been fine for us
A bit underrated even
