http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waivers_(American_football)

 

As of 2008, according to the NFL collective bargaining agreement, if any waiver of a veteran player who has completed the season that gives him four years of service occurs between February 1 and the trading deadline in mid October, then that player shall be considered an unrestricted free agent by termination of his contract.

I don't think drafting of Miller and emergence of Kouandjio changes the need for help on OL. They knew they had the draft and Kouandjio when the went after Iupati and failed.

 

I would cut Williams and his $3 mil cap hit and sign Matthis to a 3 year deal. The Bills wanted him earlier in the spring. As Greg Roman says bring more more more talented players in. Mathis would give the line a significant boost and take the pressure off of some young guys.

 

I think its important to get it done.

One of the commenters on the wgr Facebook page said they would only want him as depth to Incognito and Miller. I got a good chuckle.

I'd be fine paying him and having some competition for the G spots.

 

Are we not doing phrasing anymore?

Archer, is that you?

 

IMO he's head and shoulders better than Incognito. He'd have to be the instant #1 G on the team.

 

As he is a FA, he can just shop around. For some reason, I have no confidence the Bills will get him signed.

I'm used to winning that competition, and I imagine so are many NFL players, but, I don't see how that makes the team better. :lol:

Seriously, why aren't we doing phrasing, literally, not figuratively.

He's great. But they seem to be all in on Miller and Incognito as our starting Guards.

 

If this had happened pre-draft, i'm sure they'd have been all over it. But after picking Miller, I don't see them spending that kind of money for Mathis.

How are they "all in" on Miller? He's a rookie getting paid rookie money. And, it's June. Sure, the coaches have all talked about how impressed they are, but that's a far cry from a commitment to him as a starter.

At the end of a three year contract, he'd be 37. But so what? Sign him to a one year deal for a fat salary and cut the bum, Williams.

Excellent point about Iupati. I hope the Jet is en route to the Mathis residence.

He will end up in Miami I think. They tried to trade for him I believe and I think they have cap space. And he probably want to go somewhere with a QB. But hope we give it a try.

They have cap space? I feel like they've been spending a lot lately.
