<p>Take our on-site poll: Where would you prefer Tre’ White land in 2024?</p> <p id="7Jcpbj">When the <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> parted ways with cornerback Tre’Davious White, Bills Mafia were understandably downtrodden. While understanding the cold, hard facts surrounding White — his salary, and a pair of significant lower leg injuries overshadowing the last three years in Orchard Park, NY chief among them — it didn’t make his release any less difficult for a fan base that came to adore the man behind Tre’ White’s Goalie Academy. </p>
<p id="XK2mpE">Despite that, many wondered if White’s days in the NFL as a starting shutdown cornerback were behind him. Following an ACL injury suffered the night of Buffalo’s Thanksgiving Day game in 2021, White was slow to return to the practice field, and he struggled to re-gain his form prior to the injury. There were signs of a return to form during that team’s 2022 postseason run, but questions remained. </p>
<p id="W5CPbW">White rebounded well now seemingly fully back from the knee injury, and he was playing at an elite level. Then, as we all know, injury found reason to strike again on a non-contact play. White’s season was once again cut far too short after only four games. While uncertain, many wondered if that meant an end to the seven-year shutdown corner’s career with the Bills, if not altogether. </p>
<p id="w2bKGu">Thankfully, for White and those who continue rooting him on, it appears he has no shortage of potential options for 2024 and beyond. That became apparent with the news first shared by Mike Garafolo that Tre’ White “has visits scheduled with the #Rams and #Raiders this week, with a few more teams showing interest as well,” per sources who shared the information with Garafolo.</p>

<p id="kG6UGJ">Having just turned 29 in early January, White should have plenty left in the tank if he chooses to continue his NFL career — and if he can find the luck often required to keep injuries at bay. </p>
<p id="yoSLbA">At this point, Bills Mafia can choose two paths: Admire White’s career with the Bills but having embraced his new and unwarranted role as a heel, or continue cheering White’s successes — no matter where he lands.</p>
<p id="4icCsQ">At Buffalo Rumblings, it’s not ours to tell anyone how to roll out their fandom. But for the purposes of this discussion, I’ll simply ask you if there’s a particular landing spot for White that you’re hoping he finds — whether it’s a “makes sense” of “I’d prefer it’s X, Y, or Z for my hopes as a Bills fan.”</p>
<p id="sqGzwI">Though there remain a few unnamed teams, we know that Tre’ White is going to sit down and discuss options with the <a href="https://www.turfshowtimes.com/">Los Angeles Rams</a> and was meeting with the <a href="https://www.silverandblackpride.com/">Las Vegas Raiders</a> Monday afternoon. <a href="https://www.ninersnation.com/">San Francisco 49ers</a> cornerback Charvarious Ward has reportedly mentioned his willingness to help the Niners land White this offseason. In considering his roots, it’s possible White sees the <a href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">New Orleans Saints</a> as a good landing spot. </p>
<p id="h4UrfA">There are of course plenty of other teams that could use a player of White’s ability, even when considering his bad luck with injuries the last three seasons. Who knows, it might come down to which locale offers him the best path to furthering his side career as a hockey goalie.</p>
<p id="clG5FJ">For sure, there are at least a few teams Bills Mafia wants to see White have no part of this season and beyond. </p>

<p id="uXKnZB">The <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> continue their efforts to re-build a roster decimated initially by salary cap overage and most recently due to free agency — with news coming Monday afternoon that free-agent safety Julian Blackmon is scheduled to pay a visit to One Bills Drive.</p>
<p id="hLYLoM">Jordan Schultz was first to report the news that Blackmon and the Bills will meet to see what a potential pairing in Orchard Park, NY could entail.</p>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div>
<p id="zPvvfR">The 25-year-old safety was originally drafted by the <a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/">Indianapolis Colts</a> in Round 3 of the 2020 <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft">NFL Draft</a>. A four-year starter, Blackmon has put together a productive career for the Colt, with the 2023 NFL season stacking up as his best thanks to significant jumps in key categories. </p>
<p id="1VSWDq">Blackmon, listed at 6’ and 202 pounds, somehow remains unsigned among what started as a stacked group of safeties to open free agency and the new league year. It’s unclear what’s behind that, but it’s worth noting that Blackmon suffered a season-ending Achilles injury six games into his sophomore campaign. Despite the devastating Achilles tear, Blackmon returned for the 2022 NFL season to start 11 of 14 games played, looking strong as ever.</p>
<p id="3bqB2R">In four NFL seasons, Blackmon has played in 50 games (with 46 starts), making 214 tackles (163 solo), 12 tackles for loss, and two quarterback hits. Additionally, Blackmon has one sack, seven interceptions, one INT touchdown, 17 pass defenses, two forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.</p>
<p id="PnJ5V9">(stats courtesy of <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BlacJu01.htm"><em>Pro Football Reference</em></a>)</p>
<p id="Ac738l">In terms of Blackmon’s role, he’s best viewed as a deep safety — someone who would similarly fill the role of Micah Hyde as the NFL’s version of a center fielder. Blackmon is an ascending player who fits the bill with regards to what’s been observed by some to be a concerted effort at getting younger overall by One Bills Drive. With this being Blackmon’s first opportunity to test free agency, and still being available — you can likely count on him looking to prove teams wrong for passing him over. While the league may currently undervalue the free safety position, it’s unlikely that’s the case with head coach Sean McDermott. Team does, however, need to be careful how it spends what money is available to them.</p>
<p id="41ym9t">What are your thoughts on Julian Blackmon potentially joining the Buffalo Bills?</p>

<p>The contract details are in for the Dion Dawkins extension </p> <p id="n6EYeu">The <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> announced a contract extension for left tackle Dion Dawkins, but the numbers were slow to come in. It felt like the big domino Buffalo needed to sign a few free agents because the move lowered Dawkins’ cap hit, so it was always important to see how it shook out. </p>
<p id="qUj25b">The Dawkins deal was announced as a three-year, $60 million extension and the total value left is four years, $71 million. </p>
<p id="sBzCMl">Dawkins was set for $10.3 million in cash in 2024 on his old deal with a $16.61 million cap hit in 2024. Instead his cash goes up $4 million and his cap hit goes down $5 million as they continue pushing it into further years. </p>
<p id="jEd3Qm">Dawkins gets $11 million as a signing bonus for the new contract. His 2024 salary, 2025 salary, and a 2025 $6 million option bonus are all fully guaranteed for a total of $30 million in full guarantees plus it’s a virtual lock he’ll receive his $2 million 2025 roster bonus. With only the first two years fully guaranteed, Buffalo can get out of the contract just 24 months from now if they would like. </p>
<p id="rObwOx">If he is on the roster five days into the 2026 league year, $4.75 million of his salary fully guarantees and he gets a $500,000 roster bonus. </p>
<p id="Tud7l9">Like most of general manager Brandon Beane’s contracts, he has yearly incentives in the form of workout bonuses ($500,000 per season) and per-game roster bonuses ($20,000/game up for $340,000). </p>
<p id="UPWGP3">The contract has the 12th-most guaranteed money at signing of all the tackles in the NFL. The average value of the deal is fifth in the NFL among tackles. It’s the fifth-highest cap hit on the Bills in 2024. </p>
<p id="byRerH">Here are the yearly breakdowns starting with what his old contract had for 2024 and void years.</p>

<p>The Buffalo Bills have the highest-paid slot cornerback in the NFL</p> <p id="kO7IPK">On Monday, the <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> cleared more cap space and simultaneously made Taron Johnson the highest-paid slot cornerback in the league. The new deal comes in slightly ahead of Kenny Moore’s contract which was signed just last week. </p>
<div id="1utFzn">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bills are signing All-Pro DB Taron Johnson to a three-year extension that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid nickel back, per source.

</div>
<p id="oO1PzL">Johnson, who was drafted by the Bills in the fourth round of the 2018 <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft">NFL Draft</a>, has become arguably one of the NFL’s best slot cornerbacks, solidifying the thought that general manager Brandon Beane knows how to get the best out of the middle rounds of the NFL draft. Johnson played 11 games in his first season in Buffalo, recording 4 combined tackles, a sack, an interception, a forced fumble, and 3 passes defensed. It has been all ascending since then. </p>
<p id="GIfB9G">Despite a few injury scares, primarily entering concussion protocol more than once this past season, Johnson was able to start all 17 games. His 98 tackles, 8 passes defensed, and three forced fumbles during the 2023 season earned him his second team All-Pro honors.</p>
<p id="Xge6SY">Earlier this offseason, <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/2/6/24059233/buffalo-bills-salary-cap-contract-extensions-that-could-save-2024-space-nfl">we predicted Johnson would get a contract extension this offseason</a> due to his cap hit and great play, and he is the second person from the list to ink a new deal. </p>
<p id="LdwCde">The extension, which is reported to be worth $31 million over three years, will also clear up space under the cap for Buffalo to look into adding a much needed safety. As of now, the only safeties on the roster are Taylor Rapp, <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/3/6/24092868/buffalo-bills-re-sign-safety-taylor-rapp-per-report-espn-adam-schefter-jordan-poyer-micah-hyde">who the Bills recently re-signed,</a> and Damar Hamlin.</p>

<p>The Buffalo Bills had several contract become fully guaranteed this weekend.</p> <p id="jbw0DO">The <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> had several contracts automatically change over the weekend. </p>
<p id="BlK5FM">When NFL teams and players do contracts, there are leverage points built in (usually) to force teams into making a decision on a player. For instance, if there is a roster bonus due, the team either needs to release the player or pay that chunk of money. The other mechanism that comes into play is guaranteed money, and the more talented the player, the earlier in the deal they can guarantee future money. </p>
<p id="sT9o8k">Sometimes, you see those decisions needing to be made quickly after the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>, but more often than not, Bills general manager Brandon Beane negotiates them a few days into the new league year. </p>
<p id="3gAhwv">Here are the contract changes and payouts that happened over the weekend:</p>
<h3 id="xLwAwZ">QB Josh Allen</h3>
<p id="pSguZv"><s>$6 million roster bonus paid</s><br>Entire $14 million of 2025 salary fully guaranteed</p>
<p id="t7nK1Q">The roster bonus became fully guaranteed way back in 2021 and was used as <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/3/11/24097990/buffalo-bills-restructure-qb-josh-allens-contract-for-2024-nfl-season-per-report-salary-cap-news">part of Allen’s recent contract restructure to push cap hits into the future</a>. It’s not like the Bills are going to move on from Allen anytime soon, but with the future salary guaranteeing, Allen has a dead cap hit north of $83 million in 2025.</p>
<h3 id="DDC74v">WR Stefon Diggs</h3>
<p id="JDFPd2">$18.5 million in 2024 salary fully guaranteed</p>
<p id="Qhvk66">In order to move from Diggs at this point, the Bills would need to trade him. Releasing him isn’t an option anymore (<a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/2/13/24071722/what-does-moving-on-from-stefon-diggs-look-like-for-buffalo-bills-salary-cap-nfl-2024-contract">not that I ever expected them to</a>). The Bills still have the option to restructure Diggs’ contract at any point, but that would further tie Diggs to Buffalo beyond 2024.<a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/2/27/24083576/buffalo-bills-2024-salary-cap-what-i-would-do-to-clear-space-nfl-contracts-free-agency"> I recommended against that earlier this offseason</a>, and so far the Bills have agreed. </p>
<h3 id="f6Nh49">DE Von Miller</h3>
<p id="H0cVgh"><s>$6.43 million of 2024 salary fully guaranteed</s></p>
<p id="XQspgA">Originally, Miller was supposed to get the balance of his 2024 salary fully guaranteed. <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/3/6/24092815/buffalo-bills-edge-rusher-von-miller-agree-to-pay-cut-via-renegotiated-contract-per-report-nfl-news">Instead, the Bills reworked Miller’s contracts earlier this month</a>. Instead, <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/3/7/24093419/von-miller-updated-2024-contract-details-with-incentives-explained">the Bills paid him a $7 million roster bonus and lowered his base salary for the season</a>. There was no indication that the Bills pushed Miller’s bonus into multiple years of cap with a restructure. So for Miller, it wasn’t about what happened but what <em>didn’t</em> happen this weekend. </p>
<h3 id="C6ILlz">LB Matt Milano</h3>
<p id="Zk1gL4">$10 million option bonus paid</p>
<p id="MS0SD7">This $10 million roster bonus was already fully guaranteed when <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2023/3/12/23636422/matt-milano-contract-extension-buffalo-bills-2023-salary-cap-savings">Milano signed his contract extension last year</a>. Still, not bad to get a $10 million check. His 2024 base salary was also fully guaranteed already. </p>
<h3 id="R4ji5e">OT Dion Dawkins</h3>
<p id="Fj7o7a"><s>$500,000 roster bonus paid</s></p>
<p id="DCkPxG">As you probably know, <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/3/11/24097370/lt-dion-dawkins-signs-extension-with-buffalo-bills-adam-schefter">Dion Dawkins signed a contract extension</a>. Instead of his $500,000 roster bonus paid this past weekend, he got a much more substantial pay day. He received $11 million last week. </p>
<h3 id="7Mbgcm">DT Ed Oliver</h3>
<p id="56VG73">$12.5 million option bonus paid<br>$8.25 million of 2025 salary now fully guaranteed</p>
<p id="dEJOTx">Oliver’s 2024 salary fully guaranteed right after the Super Bowl and most of this option bonus was already guaranteed. The option bonus was built in as a cap management strategy. The rest of the 2025 salary guarantees a year from now at the start of the 2025 league year. </p>

<p>Plus, what teams are hosting former Bills CB Tre’Davious White during free agency?</p> <p id="dISeEJ">The <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> added world-class speed to their wide receiver room when they agreed with Curtis Samuel on a three-year free-agent deal last week. </p>
<p id="ddQ60O">While the opportunity to catch passes from Josh Allen certainly was appealing to Samuel, there’s another big reason why Samuel signed with the Bills: his familiarity with general manager Brandon Beane, head coach Sean McDermott, and offensive coordinator Joe Brady from their time together with the <a href="https://www.catscratchreader.com/">Carolina Panthers</a>.</p>
<p id="6bIuFb">Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by exploring the strong relationship Samuel has with Brady, and how that helped Buffalo land Samuel in free agency.</p>
<h2 id="GZk3Q0">Curtis Samuel’s strong ties to OC Joe Brady</h2>
<p id="XZV918">Curtis Samuel’s best season in the NFL came during the 2020 season, when current Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady was calling the plays for the Panthers. That year, Samuel hauled in 77 passes for 851 yards — both career highs — and said working with Brady opened up the different facets of his game. Turns out, knowing a familiar face can impact where an NFL player chooses to sign in free agency, as was the case for Samuel. </p>
<p id="Qmql2A">“I was super-excited when the opportunity came, having some experience with Joe Brady and Carolina definitely influenced me a lot,” Samuel said.</p>

</figure>
<p>Or are you still on the WR train?</p> <p id="5Ye49Z">The <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a>’ largest signing of free agency thus far (and likely the largest signing of he entire offseason) by pure salary value was wide receiver Curtis Samuel, previously of the <a href="https://www.hogshaven.com/">Washington Commanders</a>. Samuel signed a three-year, $24 million contract with Buffalo worth up to a maximum of $30 million. He was drafted by the <a href="https://www.catscratchreader.com/">Carolina Panthers</a> when Bills general manager Brandon Beane was the assistant GM in Carolina and the speedy wide receiver played under current Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady when Brady was the OC in Carolina under Matt Rhule.</p>
<p id="GEhtEB">The familiarity that the current Buffalo organization has with Samuel, and he with them, might give the Bills a different direction early in the 2024 <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft">NFL Draft</a> than what has been assumed (or hoped) by many fans of the team. The #WRTrain has been headed full speed into the station, with that position group getting the most attention from Bills Mafia, media, and content creators at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, IN this past February and the most love in the many, many draft simulations popping up across social media.</p>
<p id="5vGcvL">But even if the Curtis Samuel signing moves the needle for the team in regards to their direction early in the upcoming NFL Draft, does it move the needle for the fans?</p>
<p id="EqwoXr">I’ll outline arguments both for and against; you tell me which one, if either, applies to your line of thinking and if not, where your head is currently:</p>
<p id="tWYTY8"></p>
<p id="ILGewV"><strong>An argument FOR the Curtis Samuel signing changing your opinion on the Bills’ best direction at the top of the upcoming NFL Draft:</strong></p>
<p id="IxIRGb">The Bills’ depth chart at wide receiver currently stands as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li id="5Yp4lQ">Stefon Diggs</li>
<li id="y3DLLn">Curtis Samuel</li>
<li id="LMvNkk">Khalil Shakir</li>
<li id="hYlLGn">Mack Hollins</li>
<li id="b1AaZl">Justin Shorter</li>
<li id="6nG6f9">Andy Isabella</li>
<li id="M5Ehiz">K.J. Hamler</li>
<li id="RgSmR6">Tyrell Shavers</li>
<li id="hIoWqS">Bryan Thompson</li>
</ul>
<p id="0lyJIx"></p>
<p id="U4rpOQ">The Bills’ depth chart at edge rusher currently stands as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li id="BTyHK3">Gregory Rousseau</li>
<li id="xVJHmk">Von Miller</li>
<li id="2RHOgj">A.J. Epenesa</li>
<li id="BzKpCm">Jonathan Kingsley</li>
<li id="9NP82V">Kameron Cline</li>
</ul>
<p id="N2JFkk"></p>
<p id="D85yiD">The Bills’ depth chart at safety currently stands as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li id="FVlSPC">Taylor Rapp</li>
<li id="0LDtsY">Cam Lewis</li>
<li id="2Pk1D0">Damar Hamlin</li>
<li id="McYZJa">Kendall Willliamson</li>
</ul>
<p id="zy40c9"></p>
<p id="52t5Wj">Are we 100% sure wide receiver is the biggest need on the team right now? The edge rusher room is feeling a little sparse even after re-signing Epenesa, and the safety room looks like the ending of a emotionally brutal “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” episode. If “passing and stopping the pass” is the key to winning in the NFL in 2024 (and it is), the Bills appear to have a better chance of passing the ball effectively with the receiver corps that they have versus stopping the pass effectively with the pass rushing and coverage group displayed above. </p>
<p id="VgleZg">Curtis Samuel may not light the world on fire as a 1,200-yard receiver for the team, but his addition combined with the emergence of Khalil Shakir as a trustworthy and competent target for the team makes the Bills much more well-equipped to pass the ball than stop the pass. </p>
<p id="hqhHlh">It’s a great wide receiver class without question, but great wide receiver classes are becoming more and more frequent. In addition, it being such a good class means you can get a contributor later on in the draft. Can you say the same thing about a late Day 2 defensive end? How about a Day 3 safety? How many Puka Nacuas or Amon-Ra St. <a href="https://www.dawgsbynature.com/">Browns</a> happen in classes that aren’t as deep?</p>
<p id="KV3iP4">If the top pick is devoted to the top need, the Bills should be spending it on a position that’s not a wide receiver. </p>
<p id="AxNssC"></p>
<p id="kFaOzg"><strong>An argument AGAINST the Curtis Samuel signing changing your opinion on the Bills’ best direction at the top of the upcoming NFL Draft:</strong></p>
<p id="5hJM21">The Bills signed a good player at wide receiver.</p>
<p id="6tIdmM">They also clearly lack established or high-upside players on the defensive line and at safety.</p>
<p id="Vzvswg">But when they had more established players on defense, it didn’t help them get past the Chiefs and the Bengals in the playoffs.</p>
<p id="ffCphr">Like the infamous Kylo Ren meme, the Bills need to keep piling on firepower. They’re not going to “stop” Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs with a highly drafted safety. They just need to score more points. Samuel is a good separation player who can be used in the backfield and is an upgrade in versatility when compared to previous WR2 and current <a href="https://www.bigcatcountry.com/">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> receiver Gabe Davis.</p>
<p id="uNbxob">But it’s not just about the WR2 position. Stefon Diggs is north of 30 years old, and not even the most fervent Curtis Samuel fans would consider him as someone who could be the heir apparent for Diggs as the WR1 in Buffalo. This is a historically good wide receiver class, and while you can get contributors later on, the Bills aren’t just looking for a contributor <em>now </em>— they’re looking for one who can help the team now and potentially take the mantle from Diggs whenever the production dictates that. For every Amon-Ra St. Brown and Puka Nacua, there are many Dez Fitpatricks and Tylan Wallaces and Malcolm Perrys. Go big, get the guy, and the offense and Josh Allen can continue their high level of play for years to come, Diggs or no Diggs.</p>
<p id="27SqpA">So where do you stand? Is your needle moved by the Samuel signing, or is it “full speed ahead” on the #WRTrain?</p>

<p>The league year officially began on Wednesday, and the Bills were busy addressing their roster needs</p> <p id="htxUeT">Today’s edition of the Buffalo Rumblinks catches you up on the week that was in Buffalo Rumblings content.</p>
<p id="IzxRgz">The league year officially began on Wednesday, and the <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> have been busy addressing their roster needs, retaining several key internal free agents — including defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, defensive end A.J. Epenesa and cornerback Cam Lewis —and bringing in a pair of wide receivers — Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins — and linebacker Nicholas Morrow.</p>
<p id="tm5s8e">We introduced Bills fans to Samuel and Hollins, broke down the contract extension starting left tackle Dion Dawkins signed, and found out where former Bills like Mitch Morse, Gabe Davis, Jordan Poyer, Leonard Floyd, Tyrel Dodson and Dane Jackson signed. </p>
<p id="bydz7j">We also identified a few wide receivers, linebackers and cornerbacks who stood out at the NFL Scouting Combine, explored which college prospects general manager Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott met with at the Combine, continued with our State of the <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> roster series, and more!</p>
