Olson is going to be a buffalo bill.

Fits like a glove.

Cap space
We like mentors at each position
Familiar with mcbeane
Need for te position
Process definition

point taken...

cap friendly has them at just under $5m of space...which isn't quite enough

- Michael Pachla



Yeah they must have just updated it because 5 mins ago they only had $495k.

Good call as well.

Exciting times , when we are actually discussing the Bill's in mid February and not talking early draft picks.

He’s only owed $1.41 mil. Maybe a team like Montreal takes a free ride since Weber is out long term(possibly forever)? Who knows?

"Shea Weber expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks with an ankle sprain."

Did they amputate it?

I don't understand everyone's fascination with Anderson.

Rank of chance for me:

1. Bills
2. Skins
3. Hawks

Bills have McBeane, Skins have Riverboat, Hawks have a great QB. Bills and Hawks won't want to feature him and probably want him mentoring their rookie TEs. Skins likely want to feature him after the departure of Vernon Davis and Jordan "Tiny Tim" Reed over there.

McBeane will throw cash at him to be a vet leader that can still play, it gets their sh1t hard. Bills and Skins also on the east coast, where Skins are closer to his home. All teams have plenty of cap space. Objectively I'd say the Bills have the upper hand here. Skins close second, and Hawks a relative 3rd.

I like Anderson alot.

Guys like that , are hard to find. Tough and a scorer.

Obviously injured, and had a tough contract negatiion last time.

Jax winning without him as well.

Maybe I am being greedy, but I would want more than Anderson, as he is having a horrific year this year.

Yes, he had a nice year last year, but this year has been really bad.

Colorado could be a landing spot for BOGO.

They have all the cap space

I didn't think so. I still don't understand how "deadline cap space" and "current cap space" are able to differentiate and what it means for clubs.
- TheSabresTaco


I've never found a really good description on that. My basic understanding is that being under the cap during the season allows you to be over the cap, on a prorated basis, but still be under the cap for the season. I'm pretty sure that's what we did briefly, early in the season, when we went over the cap.

Guess it depends who offers more term.

Good, sniping middle 6 forward. His effectiveness is akin to Mojo. This year in the games he's played, he was disappointing.

So to answer your question.. I don't really know.

Good post.

Wonder if he wanted out of Carolina because of Ron leaving?

Seahawks give him a shot at a ring as well.
Bill's and skins ?

Mcbeane is gonna pay the man in my opinion.

He is the "the process"

I see your guy borocop with 9 hits in 16 minutes last night. Also a high ankle sprain.

I feel like Montour was a target of Botts and not just the best he could get with

Cap hit yes but a teams available cap space accumulates in a sense as the season progresses.

Example: Montreal only has $3.47 in cap space but has $17.4 mil in space at the deadline.

- dadeadhead


That's why I say it's misrepresented. Zach's daily cap hit doesn't change. It just gets a little easier to accommodate, for some teams, later in the season.
