IIRC, the guaranteed contact for the year only applies for vets with a certain # of years (I want to say 4 or 5) of experience. 

 

Ignore the year, but here’s the info.

 

A vested veteran, or a player with at least four years of NFL experience, will have his 2014 base salary guaranteed for the year if he’s on an NFL team’s roster for the first game of the season.

 

That means that if a team decided after Week 1 to part ways with a veteran player with a 2014 base salary of $1MM, the team would still be on the hook for that full $1MM, which would count against the cap. A veteran who has received this form of termination pay in the past wouldn’t be eligible to receive it again, but otherwise the player can put in a claim for his full salary and receive it. Veterans not a Week 1 roster don’t benefit from that provision, however.

 

If a player is signed during the season, following a team’s first game, and is later released, he’s only entitled to 25% of his full-season salary. For instance, let’s say a team signed a player in Week 2 for a full-year salary of $1.02MM. First, that salary would be prorated for 16 weeks, meaning it’d be worth $960K. If a player is cut shortly after signing, he’d receive 25% of that amount, or $240K. If the player is released within four weeks of signing, he’d only count for $240K against his team’s cap, rather than the amount of his full salary.

Where in the 7th layer of  hell do you ppl come from.

 

Losing faith in a coaching staff because they are working a player out.....really?  Back under your bridge.

Every time the coaching staff works out a free agent, I imagine Coach McDermott looks upon it first and foremost as an opportunity to refine his clapping technique.

This thread is very topical this week.   Who is brought back?

 

In addition to Breshard Perriman and Paxton Lynch, the Bills on Tuesday worked out QB Josh Woodrum, WRs DeVier Posey and Hunter Sharp, OT Michael Dunn, G Landon Turner, C Anthony Fabiano, DTs Jay Bromley and Christian Ringo and DE Nate Orchard, per @FieldYates.

 

My guess is Woodrum & Orchard
