With Charles Clay being released today who else do you think the Bills will release before 3/13/2019.
-
This guy is total garbage and cutting him saves 2.2 million, but more importantly gets the stench of him off our roster.

I said this to another poster earlier and now I will say something similar to you. OBJ an Gronk have done it in the NFL. You know what Hockenson has done in the NFL, nothing. He is a great prospect though. But what he willbe in the NFL is unknown.
Done it in the NFL is important,but equally important is "how you do it", do u do it the context of a team production or do you do it for your own stats and Rep. OBJ, and Brown are selfish "me guys" with crazy cap numbers and are off the field train wrecks. No thank you to either.
Nice for fantasy, not much for a successful team

OBJ>Hockenson x10
You post possibly in relation to numerical production. But in Hockenson the Bills are getting a Gronkowski play alike who is also a great blocker. He's not going to be a "me" guy Diva the OBJ is and is young and will grow with the young talent being put together.

Older and injury prone. Think I'd prefer Thomas Davis for an experienced back-up

I'd much rather draft Hockenson at 9, Hakeem Butler by trading 2nd and 3rd to move back-up in the 1st and draft a young RB to take over for McCoy in 2020. Add that to Foster, Jones, McKenzie, Croom and a veteran laden offensive line with a new RT, C and G and you have the building blocks of a great offense.

Why would Cincy want Tannehill over Dalton?? Thats a downgrade.
Not to mention one that isn't and never has been very good during the regular season.
Connection between new Bengal HC and Tannehill

As the first domino in the QB market fell yesterday what is the implications to the Bills and potential trade down options.
QB Possible destinations:
NY Giants - have Eli, Haskins is best QB in this draft but Murray is very tempting.
Jacksonville - Cap issues need to be cleared to allow Nick Foles to be brought on
Dolphins - Tannehill to be cut, Bridgewater probable pick-up in "two win for Tua" season
Bengals - Tannehill reunited with new HC, Dalton trade bait
Redskins - Smith out for the year maybe Dalton
Tyrod to Ravens to be Back-up for Jackson
Looks as though there is no trade down for teams looking for a QB
Haskins and Murray go in 1st round, Lock slips to late 1st, maybe Chargers or Patriots
Bills stay at 9 and select BPA at position of highest need after free agency

Huge Bills fan living now in San Diego, watch the Chargers every week and have seen a not of Corey Liuget.
Read on NFL.com that he is going to be released by the Chargers. He is a solid 3 technique DT with penetration skills and could be an excellent addition to our defensive line.
In addition he was the Chargers candidate for "Man of the year" for off the field contributions.
He's only 28 and could team nicely with Star with the Phillips being the back-ups.
Thoughts?

Awesome news for us! According to ESPN the Broncos only have $18.3 million in cap space remaining with Paradis as a FA.
Says they can cut Sanders for $10 million, but what receivers will that leave Flacco? Unless Elway already knows he can't keep MP.
Great news all around for us.
Exactly what I was thinking

Save being defensive for when you actually have a solid point to make.
Nice non-answer

Where Clay in the cuts?
Let's see what we sign in FA and what we do in the draft. If Clay is healthy we get a solid TE who can catch and block and move on in 2020
3 minutes ago, TC in St. Louis said:Was surfing for that. He has to go. He's like 8 million in cap space. The dude must go. Or renegotiate if he loves it here so much.
Cap gain is $4,000,000, unless by some fortunate scenario where the Vikings need Kyle Rudolph's $7,200,000 and release him, Clay is better then anyone available in FA
-
Jets only have 41 players signed. Some of that available cap space has to be used just to get to 53.

You can't be serious. Vlad was a healthy inactive every week by the end of the season and has no chance of being retained, especially with Castillo gone.
Thank you

No they Donté. He’s not very good. I’d sign him as an eye rusher, but not to play LB. He isn’t the player he was for whatever reason. I expect that they let him go. That being said, I do think Richardson could be had and I’d be happy with the free agents you’re targeting. Don’t really understand why we wouldn’t go after a FA WR though. There aren’t any #1 guys but there are a handful that could help. I realize that we have foster, Zay, McKenzie and Williams and we’ll assuredly select at least one in the draft. That’s 5-6 guys I expect to make the team, but I’d target at least 1 FA Wr
I thought about adding a WR, my preference is Tyrell Williams, but not at $10,000,000 per. Like a high pick draft choice to team with Foster, Jones and McKenzie.

Nice punt by Colton their and btw Hackenberg still sucks

Question: Do people realize that if we cut people to free up $$$ we them have to spend the same money, maybe more, to now fill those roster spots?
So how does this free up $6m in cap space if we just use it to fill the very holes created?
We do not need the extra cap space this year, we have plenty. They should, and will, cut players based on what’s best for the roster, not because of we need more “cap space” going into free agency. Especially when it comes to the inexpensive players.
Please tell all of us of the players I've suggested letting go, exactly who would be a significant loss.

Well you go into training camp with 90 guys on the roster. Many of them make the minimum and only the top 51 count - and we only have 52 signed now. That means we're going to be signing about 38 more guys who mostly make minimum salary. So saying we should cut a guy like Cam Phillips in order to make cap room just doesn't make sense. If you cut him just to make room, one of the other minimum salary guys just moves into the same slot. There's nothing gained.
Now if you want to cut a guy and replace him with somebody better, I'm all for it. But at this point, with 28 players left to sign just to get to the camp number, talking about cutting a minimum salary guy to save cap space is pointless. You're still going to sign at least 25 more guys before it makes a difference. And even then since he's making minimum it won't make any more of a difference than cutting some other player.
Furthermore, even if the cap space is needed, there's no need to cut anybody early. Even if you sign a guy at 9:00 AM that puts you over the cap, you still have until 4:00 PM the same day to make cuts and get under the cap. I just don't see the point of talking about cutting a minimum salary player in February in order to save cap space when we don't need the cap space, and the player's salary will just be replaced by another player's salary anyway. Again, if the player replacing him is better, go for it. Until then it's rather pointless.
How about for the purpose of generating discussion on moves we can make. It seems to be working as I've seen 2 pages worth of responses.

You only catch heat for suggesting the cuts really with no reason.
The 70 + million will be hard enough to spend without opening new holes on the roster.
They literally hurt themselves by freeing up another 6 million. There’s 31 other teams many who will bid for the exact same players the bills need. Even if they wanted to spend the entire 70 million this offseason they could not fill all their holes on the team, not with decent players. Somehow though they need to spend x amount to get to the minimum salary cap for the league while planning ways out of some of these contracts in the future
The reason I'm suggesting these cuts will be to be competitive with teams with a bit more money to spend.

With the right moves the Bills can compete for a playoff spot next year.

Your post is inaccurate.. His salary doesn’t count toward the top 53 so your figure is off making this post irrelevant. Good try though ??
Yes, only the top 51 count, I know that. Do you actually know how many players the Bills have signed for 2019? I'm guessing no you don't.

I think the idea is to have the flexibility to re-sign your guys (for sure), but also to add one or two free agents every year. Using all that money this year takes away your flexibility moving forward.
GMs don't look at the cap year by year. They evaluate over time. I think you probably understand that. But I think you aren't appreciating the need to sing free agents next year, and the year after, and the year after (and at some point re-sign our own guys)
Hmmmm, my suggested signings cost the Bills $42,000,000, leaving $43,000,000 for next year. Plus the signings give us room to move off the contracts to pay Tre, Josh and Tremaine at market value

For all who are throwing shade my way please give me your plan. It's easy to make snide comments or try and be funny. But how about doing a bit of research. Possibly evaluate who may be available and why. Maybe even look at what other teams may do and how that impacts the Bills.
I'm a long time fan, bought my first season tickets at age 7 for the 64 season. Im 61 now and live in California. I study and evaluate opportunities and try to bring interesting topics with useful researched information for all to read, review and comment on.
If you can't do the same, please read but don't comment.
Thank You

What is the problem with cutting players who won't make the roster due to a lack of talent.
Charles Clay Released
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
He's TJ Hockenson and I think he will measure out at 6'5", 255 and if he runs a 4.65 at the combine and shows explosive standing broad jump and vertical leap he will be a sure top 10 pick.
