  1. Cutting Star makes on sence this year 7.8 dead to save 2.2.  Some people are acting like he cant play.  If he could be replaced for 2.2 great, but I would bet it would take 5 plus to replace him.  2021 it could become a serious conversation with a 5 million savings.  

     

    Cutting a FB to save 1.8 when not up against the cap?  Considering his special teams play, it could be difficult to to replace him and save something.  

     

    If looking for cap casualties that look to make sence I see only 3 at this time Kroft saving 5 with 1.6 dead, Murphy saving 7 with 1.75 dead and Nsekhe saving 3.7 with 1.5 dead.  Not saying they all should be cut but they free up enough to help bring in some upgrades at their position.  

     

    It seem like many are quick to want to cut a guy when the replacement is not on the horizon.  

  2. With a year left the Bills have the leverage for an extension.  Should be easy to get him a nice raise for 2020 and get a bit of a discount in 2021.  Good faith on both ends....

     

    If he is not interested fine let him play 2020 on the cheap while trying to earn his next contact with someone else.

    I think it's more a matter of do you stand pat or move on? 

    Kroft is gonna be due $5.6M in salary and roster bonus in 2020.  Add in his amortized signing bonus, that makes him #16 on the TE AAV list or something like that.

     

    Spotrac suggests that Hunter Henry or Austin Hooper (if available) would be something like a $9M AAV signing.  I don't know if that's too "deep end of the pool" for Beane, but he's almost certainly not gonna go after one of those guys if he's got a top-20 TE in AAV already on the roster.

     

     

     

    I say hedge, no need to make a hard and fast decision at this point.  If they can bring a guy in great!!  At the end of camp Kroft can be cut, and it would very mean little toward the cap.  Cap room is no problem anyway.  If he is cut now and one of the TEs gets a serious injury in camp/preseason the position could take a big step backwards.  

     

    I see no real upside to cut now.

    Correct. Titans and colts play each other, however, and the bills play the Steelers. So if the bills beat the Steelers, they're 10-6 with a tiebreaker over the Titans.

     

    So again, assuming the bills only win 1 and it comes against the Steelers, they're in.

     

    So, either the colts/titans and the raiders could win out and have 11 wins, right?
