All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Hopefully he plays his greatest season and retires immediately afterwards.
“It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why.”
"It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you" Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist pollshowing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.
If this extends the number of years that his salary counts against the cap, **** that.
If it’s just converting some of his salary to unlikely to be achieved incentives that don’t count against the cap, that’s fine.
Of course, this begs the question: the Bills will be right up against the cap this year. What happens if multiple players make incentives that put them over the cap? Seems like a fair penalty would be that the overage amount is subtracted from next year’s cap but I don’t know what the actual rule is.

The key word from Rapoport is re-worked, not extension. Von's original deal is 6 years. He has 4 years remaining. The new 7M signing bonus is spread over the remaining 4 years.
Had we not signed Von would we have lost all these players?
A few....but we'd also be keeping the more effective Floyd and the more useful Epenesa. Miller was a desperation luxury signing meant to frost an unbaked cake. You can't throw money at guys expecting them to reach their prime stats years after their prime imho but McBeane loves them some vets.
Didn't work. If they keep doing it....I will go nuts. This many years into a program you need a draft pipeline of young guys pushing starters not yearly bandaids.

The unlikely incentives, if earned, get applied against the following year's cap, so yes it's kind of a 'penalty'.

Rumor, with an emphasis on rumor...somebody with a podcast (Rosenthal?) is claiming Von was willing to renegotiate because he already knows he's being suspended.
