One of the most surprising moves of the day IMO…( maybe except for Morse cut).. I said when this idea was discussed last month, that another team would pay him more money than the Bills would to be their backup .. Hope they aren’t paying him too much more than the minimum

They will still sign another FA safety and draft at least one more …

I said about 2 months ago that it wouldn’t surprise me if he was back … thought his play improved over the course of the season… Money is more than more than I thought they would have to pay …I was thinking 2 years at $6m Edit - oh yes .. “ up to”… better wait for the official numbers

At least the $9m paycut that he has allowed them to save in 2024 will mean that they can put this money towards a starter at DE, and Miller can just be rotation Maybe more likely they bring back AJE now?

Hope they don’t have to forfeit

Why would Miller?

True … but it still surprises me considering 2024 will be his last you would think …

He still might not be extended … but they need him in 2024…

Why would they cut him though ? He was the best CB here after he arrived .. and they just traded a 3rd round pick for him … My take is that his agent is playing hard ball on the money for his extension …so Beane didn’t want to come across as too enthusiastic about him in the presser

Bills “in conversation” with Trubisky.. ”Will you play for $1.2m”? If the answer is no then they will keep Kyle who will …

How’s that looking now …? 😀 I got a gut feel that Douglas is on this team come Week 1

Beane got the guillotine working like it’s downtown Paris 1794

Could see them using one of their 6th Round picks on a Punter

Thought that cutting Morse was on the cards since the start of the offseason … Then changed by mind yesterday when they traded Bates … Beane always surprises… I need to take a look in more detail at the top C draft prospects … think a Day 2 pick could be in play

Depends on how many people Beane is planning on cutting! Definitely will be drafting a C now you would think

We need to await further details about this “restructure “ ..: you might be going off early suggesting it’s a pay cut . There was no mention of that as yet .. My reasons the move to S won’t happen; 1. He was the best CB at the Bills after he got here last year 2. Benford is an option first to move there 3. I doubt Douglas would want to play a lesser market valued position as the clock is ticking on his career …he has to agree to it too … if the Bills don’t want to pay him too play CB then I’m sure another team will 4. Safety market is oversupplied so they can get a proven FA on the cheap anyway … no need to move anyone there

If he gets an extension, you would assume that there would be no guaranteed money past the end of 2025 .., giving them an out at that time. There is no reason to assume he can’t contribute at 2023 levels for another 2 years … his age 30 and 31 years … The question is about how much money he wants in his final big deal … Spotrac had him at $14m … that’s too much

I thought they may have kept him one more year … but he was owed too much money based on his level of play last year.. would be interesting if they asked him to take a pay cut first ..: The Safety market is over supplied … they will get a better player than 2023 Poyer for $2.5m .. and might bring back Rapp around the same price ..

I say no chance of this happening

No way at 60 … but possibly with their end of third … they have shown the last 2 years that they are prepared to play a long game with their third round picks

Here is Morse’s replacement come 2025 with the pick they got for Bates …His name is Tanor Bortolini …

A 5th is what they got for Cody Ford … so if this is good value then that was grand larceny..

She looks high maintenance… So does he..
