No point in letting go of veteran experience before you know you've replaced it unless you absolutely need the cap room. Exactly. 5 hours ago, MAJBobby said: Yeah that is the ONLY reason to cut players now if there is: An option Due A Guaranteed Trigger Due Or team is Cap tight. If one of those three dont exist keep players on you roster. Never know what could happen. IE Maybe Bodine fetches a 4th during the draft as teams miss on centers I hate to bring this up because I'm genuinely pleased we signed Morse, but he is coming off a season where he missed multiple games due to concussion, and that follows a season where he missed games due to a foot injury. It's important to have a strong backup C, and I wasn't persuaded by Groy. Now he was servicable previously, so maybe it was Castillo, not him - I dunno.

Morse has had concussions in the past, we need him. Ducasse is a sure goner. Ivory probably cut too. We'll cut at least 1 more OL, but probbaly not until after the draft. I guess it all depends on how things work out with Pre, Post June cuts. I would think they'll keep as many as they can for training camp and then cut from there.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 If they don't get a young stud RB then I think Ivory stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the only notable things, and i have no idea when or what triggers it. Bodine - 200k workout bonus Ivory - 250k workout bonus Dimarco - 50k workout bonus I go to the gym every morning, I have not got one workout bonus from the state of Oregon for doing my workouts!

mjt328 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I think most of these guys will stick until (at least) after the draft, and possibly until after training camp and we need to start trimming the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he should have been cut, but now that he got paid, it would be silly to eat a 6.5 mil dead cap. I think they were looking to upgrade DE before the 5th day of the league year, but it didn't work out so I think their gonna be kinda stuck with him this year.

I don't think he will make it out of camp. He won't be healthy to play. So you either IR him and eat his money or cut him and eat his money. If the Bills are relying on Murphy to be healthy and play in 2019 they are making a big error. I think he is all but done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he's all but done. But why not just keep him on the 53 for insurance?He doesn't have to dress every week, but if he's needed he can come in off the bench the following week. As long as he's on the 53 he won't cost us dead cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not even sure he will be healthy enough to make the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since he's been paid, they may as well keep him for emergency/ spot duty. I agree tho, he's not healthy. It was a definite miss in FA thus far.....

ALF Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 This will be the most interesting TC and preseason to watch . Final cutdown should be a difficult one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 As far as backup Centers go, Bodine would be one of the best in the league. Considering Morse's past concussions & the cheap price tag, I think he stays on. Murphy is a much better player than he showed last year, if he finally stays healthy, he could be the pass rushing addition we need. He is a bit pricey, but we don't need the cap space at this point.

HansLanda Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Remember they can carry 90 guys to training camp, so I assume they'll have as many Olinemen there to get "the best 5" via competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some value for what we do not need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
