Core Four Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 2 minutes ago, Spartacus said: it will depend on the AAV for the length of the contract. not likely to match a 4 yr 24 mil contact = 6 mil AAV could decide to move money to cover 6 mil for 2022 if the overall value fits their valuation. what can they add from the draft (and when) will ultimately drive their decision I don't think Beane will match $6M AAV for Bates. He is most likely gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, nothing changes in their cap plan as they simply moved money to 2002 and reduced the same in a later year. obviously, the Bills put a low tender on Bates indicating they do have a limit on his valuation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Core Four said: It would be good, but it doesn't look like he will be back. Bates just signed an agreement/intent with the Bears where the Bills can match the offer. The Bears have a lot of cap space and will overpay Bates to the point it wouldn't make sense for the Bills to match. Oline will continue to be a position of need since we are thin at G and T. I would expect multiple draft picks for the oline, as well as CB, which is another area of need. If we aren't able to retain him, I guess the silver lining is that it won't be the Patriots who signed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have extended Bates if they wanted to. I don't think Kromer is sold on him. I don't think the Patriots are going to be the threat they once were anytime soon.

Ralph got coaches from the scrap heap (with the exception of Knox and his attempted courtship of Cower, who wisely turned him down). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not Lou's fault that Ralph refused to get the few pieces needed to go toe to toe with the Steelers. Marv was not a great coach in hind sight but he was the calming influence to massage a lot of egos including Smerlas and Bruce Smith. I'm not sure that we make the 1988 AFC CG or the SB with somebody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
