26CornerBlitz Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Cox is a beast, no doubt. He's also missed 2 games with a calf injury and is listed as questionable for Week 6. Schwartz D seems to thrive on having a super-quality DL. It's a short term situation with Cox and IMO it doesn't make sense for the Eagles to commit that much money to the DT position.

racketmaster Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) The sooner Dareus is gone the better. Tired of all the drama surrounding him as his play on the field no longer warrants the headache he creates. I have no problem with Glenn being released as well. He is overpaid and the injuries are piling up. I doubt we would get any compensation for either player because their salaries don't match their production.

I'm not saying they're going to do anything, but the Eagles are in it to win it now - they have a very, very good chance to win the division this season and possibly even get a bye. Sometimes you've gotta play for the now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Bills cannot cut or trade either guy this league year, plain and simple. While I agree with you, there is a way to make next year's dead cap hit a little more palatable in that they can take whatever cap savings they realize this season and roll that over to next year. There was an article about the Dareus scenario recently that explained it in more detail but by rolling the cap savings to next year, his dead money went from $14m plus to $5m plus. With the expected cap room next year, I can see the Bills biting the bullet if getting rid of his attitude is perceived as a huge plus by the staff. I don't understand the Glenn thing at all. He's a good soldier so I'm wondering if his injuries are worse than we thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It's a short term situation with Cox and IMO it doesn't make sense for the Eagles to commit that much money to the DT position. Depends upon what they think they get for it. The Guardian used to have a pretty cool graphic on NFL salaries by team and position, and it was clear some of the championship teams invested quite heavily in the DL.

K-9 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Before getting into any possibilities, let's look at the state of Buffalo's salary cap. Bills cap space Per Spotrac: $8.5 million Per OverTheCap: $7.0 million Average: $7.75 million Currently, assuming a $178 million salary cap (would be a $10 million jump from 2017), the Bills are currently set to have a $37.3 million in cap space, the 13th-most in the NFL. Why mention next year's cap? Well, any larger salary Buffalo may take on can be split up into future years, so having an abundance of cap space in 2018 is helpful. The two most obvious trade chips for the Bills happen to be the team's highest-paid players on each side of the ball – Marcell Dareus and Cordy Glenn. Here are the cap ramifications for each if traded: Marcell Dareus 2017 cap hit: $16.1 million Dead cap if traded: $20.6 million Possible savings: Loss of 4.49 million The Bills also could designate Dareus as a "post-June 1" transaction, which would split the dead cap money over two years. In that case, Buffalo would eat $6.4 million in dead cap this year, save $9.7 million but incur a $14.2 million dead cap hit in 2018. Cordy Glenn 2017 cap hit: $14.2 million Dead cap if traded: $12.8 million Possible savings: $1.4 million If the Bills used a "post-June 1" designation on a Glenn trade, their dead cap hit in 2017 for him would be just $3.2 million, and they would save an even $11 million in cap space. In 2018, they'd take on a dead cap hit of $9.6 million. Clearly, with around $8 million in cap space right now, the Bills have room to unload either of these players in a trade. This is what the article I mentioned above alluded to. If they roll that 9.7m into next year's cap, it cuts the dead hit to around 5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll try to re-sign Jernigan for a reasonable price to keep him paired with Cox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Why should Dareus change his habits? Where is the incentive? If he just wants out of Buffalo he'll play harder elsewhere. See: Peters, Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just wondering if Beane has the chutzpah to dump these guys even with the cap implications and creation of even more holes, could he do a little crossover action and dump the Sabres goalie while he is at it?

uticaclub Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I hope this is wrong. You need guys in the trenches and Glenn & Dareus are special players. Sure Marcel has been a pain in the ass and Cordy has been hurt, but don't give up on these guys unless you are getting major assets back, which seem unlikely given their contracts.
