Oooo I am sure he got a paycut or cut demand because it is clear Beane is pulling the bandaid off

Hence his willingness to take a paycut.

Because his play declined massively. So they went to his ego and said hey you know how you could earn 17M this year. How about we move a lot that into incentives. And your your trouble you can earn another 3M more Ones play massively declined others didn’t

Why would Diggs take a paycut?

Will Allen take a paycut? Von just did

Not to mention the “rotation”

Base to Bonus. I would have thought it was an extension in the mix. But guess wasn’t in the cards at this moment. Maybe summer when Tres’s money frees up. Yeah a Pay cut.

Yep paycut moving to incentives

The fact they didn’t go right to the restructure game. And instead the hard choices. Tells me that Beane saw this group is at its ceiling and time for a reset. smart pulling off the bandaid the same year the team competing in your division has same cap issues.

Also let me say this now. If Bills can get what they want done this season without touching Diggs or Millers contracts. Those will be the two contracts Bills walk from next offseason.

Got it. I really really hope they can get what they want done cap and signing wise without Touching the Diggs or Von Contract.

Not to mention your Tre, Poyer, Hyde and Morse could all be sitting there still in May. Overall 26 years old. played center in college full time logged 100 snaps at Center in the NFL I have NO issue with McGovern at Center

Yeah I am fine with McGovern going back to Center a position he played in PS.

the recap. And it was needed.

Not to mention Tres savings in June is the exact amount needed to sign the entire pool without even talking the top 51 rules.

I think there hasn’t been a move so far I was saying OUCH too. morse would likely be the closest but planned for Life after Morse with McGovern. So I think I am even ok with that. I do like the approach. No more running it back with aging talent kicking the can. Rip the bandaid off. Get cap compliant. Get younger and continue to work. rather do it now with Josh’s timeline in his career than a year or two from now. Keep it up Beane.

Yep. Tampa. Wide Right.

Enjoyed the late season run. All the injuries and still had a shot to head to Baltimore. I will say it will be an interesting offseason. gonna take a break from football for a bit and then will start the off-season primers to get ready for the Free Agency Period and Draft. Enjoyed the season. And the heart this team displayed to get back to AFCE Champs and the 2 seed.

I love this outcome for them. I went into the game knowing we were in the playoffs with no anxiety. Only the statement "Humble these *****" After listening to their ***** talk for the last month, then this entire week. I am glad this is their outcome. And at the end of a turbulent season Bills back where they should be atop the AFCE

Fangio doesnt blitz. SO please do that and Lock up Apple on Diggs 1v1

Question What teams Cap would be more "Dire" The team with Their QB on a Long term contract, 44 players under contract and Over the cap by 41M Or The team without their QB on a long term contract, 37 players under contract and over the cap by 41M I wish they would have put him on the NFL Exempt list. Voided the guarantees and then could have cut him easy. Retirement wont save much they will be able to force payback of the prorated signing bonus etc Think Eric Wood situation.

I would think that would be their plan A as well. I just worry about breaking up what finally looks like a good OL. I know Bates has shown well given his opportunities as well. I know my thinking for when I write this offseason stuff up, going back to the Old Days of Bills thinking... No long term contracts for UFAs that are over 26 years old. Because they reality is they need to start shifting to where there cap is allocated, we have alot tied up in older players for still years. Young UFAs (Long term) Old UFAS (1-2 year deals) Start Drafting in the aging positions.

I love this and now have it saved for prep for the offseason threads that I will make. A couple things right off my head looking at the releases. Hines - I think this release makes sense and not needed to replace in UFA so likely a cheap Draft pick to fill this roll. Harty - I think a draft pick fills this roll. Siran Neal - ST Stud, but I also think this is a roll a draft pick can fill Sam Martin - Starting punter. I am not sure there is a better one that will be cheaper so I think the 1M in savings is insignificant for him, I would keep him on the roster. Release Poyer - I would do this his play has fallen off big time IMO. However Hyde being a UFA might force their hand here. However here are some younger Safeties that are scheduled to hit the market (Knowing one will likely already be needed for Hyde) - Xavier McKinney (SS, 24 yrs, projected 10M AAV), Kamren Curl (SS, 25 yrs, projected 10-15AAV), Antoine Winfield Jr. (FS, 25 yrs, projected 15 - 19M AAV). Those are just some. I think I would sign one and Draft one. Move on from both Poyer and Hyde. Tre White - This one I think actually could happen to be honest. Douglas has solidified the CB, Benford, Tre could be someone on the move. However I almost think he will be back and 6M savings while not insignificant, I dont think you will get the White play from a CB that you sign in that 6M range. However the injured mounting with him will be a concern for a CB that wasnt that speedy prior too anyway. Big one is IF we release Morse you are moving on from the captain and pivot of an OL that finally has been respectable this year. I am not sure I would want to shake this up, specially for a draft pick. However to get younger at the position you will end up paying a UFA. Connor Williams is the only one on the market I would feel ok with moving on from Morse for (27 years, projected to make 14M) Most of the moves are actaully pretty easy decisions. And at the end of next year we will get out of the boat anchor that is Invisible Von Millers contract.

Agree
