Gunsgoodtime Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It's reasonable, my ten: - Shady - Tyrod - Sammy - Cordy - Zay - Hughes - Shaq - White - Darby - Hyde I like this one, no way Dareus is on the list for me due to his salary and the amount of times he has let the team and fans down. He is worthless suspended and he is high risk for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 You don't put Dareus on the list because he is basically on the list for free. Nobody is taking that contract on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 You don't put Dareus on the list because he is basically on the list for free. Nobody is taking that contract on. And if they did, the Bills would say "thank you very much" and drop $66m of the Salary Cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) You never know which Dareus you'll get.43 base. Attack the QB Dareus, he's proven he can dominate in the run and pass rush in this specific scheme. I'd protect him, obviously if I felt he was 110% focused and done puffing the magic dragon. I like your list. Id have Dareus on their and Ragland who I think is going to be a stud/staple of this defense for years. I'd replace Zay With Charles Clay on your list as well. Clay is a stud. He can do it all at the TE position. His loss would be a much bigger impact Edit- Taylor Sammy Shady Glenn Miller Dareus Darby Ragland Hyde Shaq Clay is my next man up.

GunnerBill Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'd do a anything I can within reason to get out from under the Clay contract, even though we have almost nothing behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'd do a anything I can within reason to get out from under the Clay contract, even though we have almost nothing behind him. Arguably the worst DW move of significance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think the thought process is because Dareus's contract is so bad, financially, with cap hits of $16m for the next 3 years the expansion team wouldn't select him. And if they did it would clear $66m off of the Bills cap. Do you believe Dareus has played up to the contract he was given? Curious- when an expansion draft happens, does the player go to zero cap hit immediately or do you still have to amortize everything as if it was trade?

Wayne Cubed Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Curious- when an expansion draft happens, does the player go to zero cap hit immediately or do you still have to amortize everything as if it was trade? For this scenario, Sal has said that everything financilally is released immidiatelely, so no amortizing. I'm not exactly sure how it would practically happen.

The Frankish Reich Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Well, if we're going to take this little thought experiment seriously, and if we assume that players with under 2 years are exempt, then: -The "please take this guy off my payroll" list: Dareus, Clay - The "we'd be o.k. with keeping him, but we wouldn't be shattered if you took him" list: Hughes, Watkins (because he's unsigned beyond this year), Wood, Glenn, Kyle (sorry, it's not about you, it's about Father Time), Preston Brown, O'Leary, "Philly" - The "we'll try to sneak him past the expansion draft, but we're really hoping nobody takes him" list: Tyrod, Richie, Micah Hyde (because we just decided he was worth the contract he just got), Jordan Poyer (same), Patrick DiMarco (same) and maybe Tolbert (same, but I can't think they're that excited about him), Lorax (same) Andre Holmes (same), Haushka (same), Jerel, Ducasse (same), Groy, Logan Thomas (the Bills have big plans for you, young man), Shady (because contract! not because of performance) Which leaves us with the guys you'd want to protect under any circumstances, which is pretty uninspiring - basically the 2014-2015 draft/UFA class who are considered starter quality: - Miller - Darby And right now I can't think of anyone else. This is why expansion teams are historically awful. The NFL is built around excess value found in pre-free agency players, and if you exempt players with 2 years service or less, the pickings are slim, particularly when you factor in that an expansion team isn't going to have the cap space to steal away everyone's Shady and Tyrod. But there's another point too with the Bills: really, Miller and Darby (and of course Sammy, and maybe Preston Brown?) are the only 3rd/4th year players expected to start? Yup. Doug Whaley, you really did a fine job in those 2014-15 drafts ... Edited June 23, 2017 by The Frankish Reich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
