Oh no you didn't

Oh. You know I did.

 

Would be an interesting experiment: Why’d Foles tear it up last season? Because of his abiding faith, or because of his team’s system and play calling?

I have no idea what to think of the signing.

One point - isn't this another signing like Vontae that doesn't count against the compensatory pick calculation? Ivory was released mid-season.

I assume this is a "generate roster competition" move for that rb2 slot?

I sure hope so. Otherwise I'd have to conclude our process for selecting backup RBs is...untrustworthy.

Yes, from my understanding. And I'm totally down for Beane doing his best to game the compensatory pick market.

Would a Comp pick come out of the acquiring team's backside, so to speak?

Comp picks are extra picks assigned by the NFL that are given at the end of draft rounds to compensate for free agents lost in the prior year. They don't come from any particular team.

So is it better for the Bills in particular, or any team in particular, to avoid a comp-pick-triggering signing?

 

Or is it better to avoid those because it means you don't diminish the slot at which your team is picking in later rounds? E.g., picking 81st instead of 82nd.

It's something to consider when signing a player. However I believe the value of comp picks has become overstated.

The guaranteed money makes me think he's definitely on the roster for at least this year.

The team announced that they have agreed to terms with Chris Ivory on a two-year contract. The pact is worth $5.5 million in base salary, with $3.25 million guaranteed in the first year, and can be worth up to $6 million max, sources informed of the deal told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
