Dorkington Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It's going to happen with more regularity, big time starters getting cut due to huge contracts. It's an interesting NFL. Dudes are getting signed to crazy numbers, but then teams also have to let go of players that are expensive... Wonder what the average length of time a player will stay on a team is going to be... a couple years? Anyways, I could see this happening to Mario within the next year or two. Even if he's producing at a high rate... 18-19mil (whatever it's going to be) is a lot of money tied up in one player. Especially for a franchise that really needs to maximize profits.

PO'14 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Obviously Rex feels that his front line will put enough pressure on the QB that they only need average CBs to defend. Not a bad move IMO! Imagine spending 10million per year on a SAFETY! Edited March 10, 2014 by curitiba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine spending 10million per year on a SAFETY! Yup, the big money should be spent up front. For as much credit as Seattle's secondary gets, they benefit from a great pass rush. That said, a playmaking S is a huge asset. Hard to see it as a $9-$10 million/ year one though. Given that Byrd was a 2nd round pick, it seems like there is a replacement for him in this draft. They just need to find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Milliner had a pretty good second half of the year. I think he's trending away from bust status. I thought they were still pretty critical of him throughout the year, but calling any CB a bust after one season would be crazy talk. The jury is a long way from coming in on Milliner. Cro was an excellent signing for the Jets but he definitely ran out of steam last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cro was an excellent signing for the Jets but he definitely ran out of steam last year. milliner looked a lot like Gilmore at his worst but consistently and every play. His athleticism and speed saved his ass many times. He had some beautiful pass deflections but the guy looked to be stuttering and bewildered when processing the play. And when the play was made it was like a switch turned and he showed up There is upside there but there is room for a lot of concern. He reminds me of McKelvin.

billsfan89 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The market for corners is a really good one. Revis getting traded or possibly cut, all sorts of vet corners who are still pretty decent getting cut. Good corners hitting the market on top of all that. Its definitely a buyers market that the Bills should be in on. They are a little thin at corner and there is no need to burn a pick on a corner when you have a market filled with them.
