BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Fantastic news. I've been advocating keeping all of our D-Lineman until we absolutely, positively have to cut them just because injuries can happen at any time during the offseason/training camp. The only exception to this is Dwan Edwards, more for his own sake than anything else. If the Bills are truly going to be a base 4-3, I say cut him now and give him a chance to sign on with a 3-4 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Do you mean Dwan? Dwan Edwards? I am not expert on the nuances of salary vs salary cap Sports City reports that his salary next year is $2.6 million but his cap # is $5.1. Not sure what we get back if he's cut. Same source has Spencer Johnson one of the higher-paid players at $3 million. Kelsay is $2 million with a cap hit of $4.2 million (same source) If we can save a significant bit of that and sign Anderson, I think Edwards and Johnson are gone. My phone don't know Dwan.

billsFORlife50 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 On paper it really appears as if Buffalo has the best D-line in the NFL now hopefully this will transition to the field!!! With this no longer being a position of need I fully believe that we will grab Malcolm Floyd if he is available. If he is not I believe it will be Jonathan Martin as he actually played LT in college and that means a lot compared to Reiff who started every year at RT.

Cash Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 At face value, I like this signing. Anderson probably peaked last year, but is still in his prime, and probably didn't cost a lot. He is risky in the sense that he's only had 2 good years sack-wise out of 6 or 7 in the league, he was only a part-time player last year (47% of NE's defensive snaps), and he's definitely a threat to turn back into a pumpkin. So I'm hoping the Bills didn't give him any of guaranteed money beyond 2012. However, at this point, the Bills' FO has completely turned me around, and I actually have faith that Anderson's contract 1) gives the Bills plenty of ways out in case Anderson is a bust, and 2) isn't for too much money, because overpaying mediocre players is about the worst you can do. (Overpaying elite players like Super Mario is fine.) If Anderson goes back to the 4-6 sack range, that's probably too good to cut or ask to take a pay cut, but not good enough that you want him making a lot of money. I'll wait to see the financials before making a final judgment, but given that Anderson lasted this long without signing, I have to think it's a pretty reasonable deal for the Bills. Plus it takes away a pass-rusher from New England, so that's another bonus. Tentative thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
