DrDawkinstein Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I say keep Glenn and ditch Bradham, if possible. Position Importance-wise, I might agree. But for a team that is already bumping up against the cap, it's much cheaper to keep a LB than it is a LT. Glenn's contract might be double what Bradham's is. That puts him on the outs right there.

BuffaloBill Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The Bills have about 7.3 Mm in dead cap money so they have done a very good job of managing this number down. To the point of a few in this thread the Bills almost have to renegotiate Mario Williams deal in order to get something done with Marcel. This could be the reason for the delay. We all might assume Mario is willing to do a new deal but perhaps not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Most decent teams are paying a QB a $100 million contract. PLUS they have a few other great players who are getting paid. The Bills are a while away from any QB getting paid, so they can afford both Mario and Dareus. Even if the Bills find the next diamond in the rough at QB it will be years before they will have to pay him.

Agent 91 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Who would y'all prefer; Mario or Marcel? Imo Even at 30 I'm going Mario Is that supposed to be your nickname for him? Im glad you said something... i wasn like i missed that one lol. I was afraid They won't be cutting Mario to keep Dareus. It will be a restructure. The guy that you may end up losing is probably Cordy Glenn. Perfectly fine with that I say keep Glenn and ditch Bradham, if possible. May i ask why?

ALF Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I would keep Mario , Dareus , Glenn , Bradham and Gilmore If I had to cut for salary cap , Chris Williams , Fred (sorry , make a coach) , Cassel (depends on preseason), Harvin (yet to see) after 1 year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCD Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 If a company offers me 3 million more, I'd say my loyalties shift awfully quick. I don't care who I am working with for a couple years...Also, discounts would be good if I were playing for a team in Sunny San Diego because I would feel so pleased to be in such a beautiful place - even if you don't allow me a portable fridge in the locker room. If you want me to stay here in the snow, better get your checkbook out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Billieve Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The front office has said that resigning Darius is a priority, and they hope to get it done before training camp. Since the change in ownership they have signed everyone they said that they were planning to sign, it might have taken a little longer than expected a few times but they got it done. I don't see why this situation would be any different. Maybe we're getting a little bored in the offseason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want me to stay here in the snow, better get your checkbook out. 3 million over the course of the contract or per year. One is ~3% increase the other is ~30% increase (for MD's contract). There are players who have decided to forgo the small increase to stay where they are successful. This past offseason one of those players was from GB (granted it was Buffalo not SD trying to pry him away with more money). I really think players consider their future success when making these decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 May i ask why?Gotta score points right? Glenn is not only the best piece on a (quite possibly) mediocre OL, he's also the best piece of a (quite possibly) dismal OT group. Take Glenn away and this line could be a disaster. Bradham is another young homegrown player, who came into the league with a lot of faults and has wowed all of us with his progress. He plays both run and pass at least reasonably well. He can play nickel, I'd think. He's a good football player. All that said, I think if we were to lose him at the beginning of an offseason we could find the next man up. I consider Ryan a defensive mastermind and Whaley seems to have an aptitude for finding linebackers. It really wouldn't concern me very much. But to lose Glenn from a group I'm already concerned about... Position Importance-wise, I might agree. But for a team that is already bumping up against the cap, it's much cheaper to keep a LB than it is a LT. Glenn's contract might be double what Bradham's is. That puts him on the outs right there. I hear ya Doc, and that's why I said if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwalter Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 If I had to choose, would have to be Dareus. I love Mario, I have a adult sized Mario/Bills costume my mother made...just to make my point. But Dareus could be great for another 6-7 years, Mario may have a couple. wait wait wait wait wait - what! pictures please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Jerky Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Who would y'all prefer; Mario or Marcel? Seeing Mario has nothing to do with keeping Dareus... Both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Who would y'all prefer; Mario or Marcel? Imo Rather keep both and dump some of the overpaid employees in front office; I am sure the janitorial department could use some trimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Is that supposed to be your nickname for him? Thank you for your contribution to this thread. I say the deal is very close and if anything he'll be franchised. I'm not worried in the least about Dareus leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
