    If they sign someone, it will be a Murphy replacement, no? 

     

    I hear what you're saying, but all I can say is I hope not.

    It's not my money, but if it were, I wouldn't invest in old pass rushers, players that have been blatantly stealing paychecks (Clowney), and guys who go all-pro in their contract year (Reddick).    

     

    I think it depends on the size of the investment. With each passing day, it gets smaller.

    I'm thinking he does take a big pay cut, I wouldn't be surprised if it is as much as you just stated.

     

    This is not a good year to get a lot of money due to the reduced cap, plus he's in his 30's and he didn't have a hot year.  I would say $5 million range sounds about right.

     

    The cut is based on salary (~$7 million), not cap hit ($10 million).  So, a $5 million cut would reduce the actual money he takes home for playing this year down to ~$2 million.  That might not even be the vet minimum for him.

    This worries me. Makes me believe Bills won’t go big on a DE in free agency which we desperately need in order to even touch the chiefs.

     

    Me, too.  But I think they cut DiMarco even after he took a pay cut last year, so there is still hope.

    Take it fwiw - on the locked on bills podcast today he had a guest podcaster named Joe Miller. Miller does the Overreaction podcast with John fina. Miller prefaced this by saying he “doesn’t have great sources” but someone who he called “close to the organization” sent him a DM sometime last week and it said 80% chance Watt was signing with the Bills. Again, just a fwiw nugget. 

    Nothing specific to this comment, Yolo, but I don't like being the leader a week ago.  It suggests some roadblock that the parties can't get past.  I guess there can be some unique circumstances here relating to the unknown salary cap, but I would think, if the parties agreed on 2/25 (for example), they would be able to fit that in regardless.

    My wife and I left our Honeymoon in Aruba a day early to go to that game...... It was the only thing I asked for at all at our wedding and because she is the best thing that ever happened to me she agreed.

     

    The game was awful, and the only thing colder than the rain were the looks my wife would give me over leaving paradise a day early.  

     

    She still complains about it any chance she gets. 

     

    I went with my girlfriend.  She sat through the nonstop rain to watch the Bills get blown out because I wanted to see Josh's debut.  She never complained once.

     

    So I married her.
