The offseason begins

Interesting:



Some other tweets say the changes create around 6M in cap space.





Looks like a $3.6M savings this year.


Plus, if they do not re-do it to keep him around, there is now an $11M dead cap charge in 2026 for Milano.
 
I really like Jeremiah's thought process, so I ran his draft on PFF by controlling all teams. Here's who is left for Beane to pick from (next 20 players available on PFFs list, which I don't love):

Pearce DE
Burden WR
Grant DT
Simmons OT
Egbuka WR
Alexander DT
Nolen DT
Stewart DE
Scourton DE
Knight LB
Conerly OT
Ayomanor WR
Sanders DT
Williams DT
Bech WR
Watts S
Jackson DE
Revel CB
Umanmielen DE
Turner DT

After that, heading into picks 56 and 62, this is who could be there, looking at DE, DT, CB, speed WR, and anyone interesting:

Collins DT
Swinson DE
Skattebo RB
Tuimoloau DE
Sawyer DE
Porter CB
Ivey DE
Kennard DE
Morrison CB
Stewart DE
Burch DE
Paul LB
Farmer DT
Phillips DT
Royals WR

There's probably more but I'm working off the PFF list. I really like what could be there around pick 90 and I hope Beane packages picks to get his 3rd round pick back.

I see Shenault as more of the Hollins replacement as primarily a STs contributor at WR than filling Hollins's role on offense.

Palmer is a bigger WR that is reportedly a solid blocker. So, Palmer & Coleman are likely to be your WRs on run plays.

Shenault has played 50% or so of his team's STs snaps the past two seasons and been in on 61 punt return snaps over the past two seasons despite not being a punt returner.

Add in Beane commenting on his KR ability and adding him in case the KR rules get tweaked again and how they might need him in that STs role and I think he is definitely in play for WR5.
I see Shenault as the Chase Claypool replacement, in that he's probably getting cut at the end of camp.

Probably, though if he has developed legitimate teams ability that certainly helps his chance at sticking. And all things considered I’d rather their special teamers have something they can bring to plays from scrimmage as opposed to Siran Neal’s that are just black holes outside of special teams

It won't surprise me if he's more of the KJ Hamler mold and if he doesn't make the 53, he's on the PS. Especially with the KO stuff.

Some fans are acting like he was signed to play a significant role on offense and I don't get it.

Not every guy signed to the 90 man roster is expected to play a starting role.
 

Buffalo Bills: Not adding multiple cornerbacks

The Bills acquired several intriguing defensive linemen, including Joey Bosa, Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht. Given that the latter two will be suspended for the first six games and that two are on one-year deals, the defensive line could still be a priority. But the team's lack of movement at cornerback heading into late April remains a concern.

Buffalo doesn’t appear inclined to re-sign Douglas, plus the team traded away depth piece Kaiir Elam. General manager Brandon Beane needs to invest capital in finding several contributors next to Christian Benford on a team that finished 31st in PFF coverage grade last season.

I disagree with this one. They have the obvious need at CB2 next to Benford.

But, beyond that, they are OK barring an injury.



Boundary CB:

Benford
[TBD]
Jackson
Ingram

Nickel:

Johnson
Lewis

And with Codrington being the PR/deep depth CB, I don't see CB being a spot where it is a huge issue if they don't double dip.

I think the worst case outcome is not getting a quality CB that might be able to start week 1 between now and the start of camp. But, that is bigger than the draft.

I think a bigger issue is if they can't get quality guys at DT, DE, and CB as of today. Especially given the 6 game suspensions to MH & LO.

Asking those who played / coached / know more than I do...

Is it surprising a team who intentionally plays a lot of (or nearly exclusively) 2-high zone designed to keep completions in front of them, AND had an at worst ineffective or at best sporadic pass rush graded #31 in PFF coverage rankings? (I admittedly don't know their grading rubric / formula.) Not clear to me upgrading CB play is the only way to improve that... - i.e., improving D-line play should also factor in the coverage results given average time before QB release, maybe even YAC.
