JB, a big chunk of the that is going to go to Benford (18M), Groot (20M), Shakir (10M), etc
Cook is a whole another conversation. Don't see how they do that tbh.

ps using NFL Salary Cap, Player Contracts, Salaries, Bonuses and Analysis | Over the Cap for valuations, which could be low actually ?

I wasn't projecting forward to next year (and Benford & Shakir will not cost that much in 2025 BTW. Benford, Shakir, and Bernard are all signed to rookie deals with cap hits in the $3.3-3.5M range for next season).

I was talking about how McDermott & Allen did a lot with a roster with a boatload of dead cap this year. And very few people are taking that in consideration when they talk about COTY and MVP voting.

Is there still draft compensation for the originating team when a minority is hired as GM or head coach?

I think the question may be phrased poorly. Gray is a minority and at one point I thought if person who is a minority and currently employed by one NFL team is hired by another NFL team to be GM or head coach their current team received draft compensation. Compensatory picks not an actual draft pick possessed by the new team.

Yes.

I did the math, and the Ravens have a 55% chance of winning this game. Just don't ask for the deets on my math =P

I'm actually optimistic about this one. I think the Bills win. The defense is rounding into form at the right time, and are actually helathy this time around against Baltimore. There isn't a star player on that squad except maybbbe Benford. What they do have is a chip on their shoulder, a home crowd behind them, and good support players. I think they hold Baltimore to 30 ish points.

On offense, Allen and co. are going to do everything they can to win the ToP battle. Someone said after the Broncos game that it was reminiscent of a Brady/BB playoff game. That's the recipe to winning in the post season, and Allen is going to spread the ball around quite a bit again while we lean HEAVILY on Cook. Baltimore's defense isn't a joke anymore. They've tightened the ship, but Allen can still dismantle them, and he's going to.

Buffalo- 38
Baltimore- 31

This is our year, boys. I have a good feeling with only a slight bit of doubt. Regardless of what happens Sunday, these boys are on the right track.

Let's predict who will land all six open NFL coaching jobs: New hires for Dallas, Chicago, Las Vegas

Where will Ben Johnson and Brian Flores coach next season? Will Mike McCarthy find a new team? We projected candidates to fill open NFL head coaching jobs.

My prediction for the next Jaguars coach: Joe Brady, current Bills offensive coordinator

A week ago, there was a lot of thinking around the league that this could be the spot for Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson -- and of course, it very well still could. But the Jaguars' decision to move on from Pederson and keep GM Trent Baalke has raised some red flags for potential head coach candidates who are hoping to start with a fully clean slate. And it means Johnson could be looking at other situations where he and a new GM would come in together.

Brady has rebuilt the Bills' offense into a bully and has Buffalo positioned for a potential Super Bowl run. Only the Lions score more than his Bills offense (29.5 points per game). And Brady has had NFL teams' attention in several recent head coach cycles.

A sleeper here could be Robert Saleh, whose interview with the team will happen Tuesday. Saleh, who was fired as the Jets' head coach early in the 2024 season, spent three seasons as the Jaguars' linebackers coach on Gus Bradley's staff from 2014 to 2016.

Everything in your two paragraphs can hold true, and then be completely undone by a tipped-ball interception pick-six, or a tackler's helmet knocking the ball loose when the carrier's knee is 2" above ground on his way down on a tackle. 59 minutes and 50 seconds of "on-script" performance on both sides of the ball can be undone in 10 seconds worth of a couple random adverse events. I hope you're right. I'm prepared for Buffa-luck to prevail.

This line just shows no one trusts the Bills D yet.

The line has far less to do with which team has the better chance of winning and far more to do with the amount and rate of bets being placed on one side vs. the other at any static point in time.

I know how sports betting works. Why do you think they are betting Ravens more? The Bills D against Henry.

Buffa-luck will finally be destroyed when the Bills win the SB this year! I have a sneaky feeling. Time will tell.

*i agree with eveything else you wrote, btw!

When the Bills commit to stopping the run, they aren't that bad at it both in terms of raw and advanced stats. They have bottled up top rushers including Henry in the past. (Over-committing to stopping the run and leaving Lamar open with easy throws is another question yes)
 
Idk compared to league averages, but I feel like the Bills have given up a big big play on the first drive often this year. I know Arizona it happened, Baltimore with Henry. Denver now to Franklin. I believe a couple other times as well. That concerns me.

Really thinking this rematch truly comes down to how much of a difference does Milano, Bernard and Johnson make?
