Now, could they ask him to take a cut? Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally makes zero sense as to why the Bills would want to do this. Have you been playing Madden to much again?

billsfan_34 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Na- Shady has been a good soldier and I think the Bills believe he will have a bounce back year behind what is perceived as an improved line. No reason to mess with chemistry and cause any issues- leave well enough alone at this point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 With one year left on the deal it makes absolutely zero sense for the team or the player. They're parting ways after this season. There's no need to stretch it out 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With guards that can now pull and a mobile center look for screen plays etc which Shady will be just fine, even if he lost 1/2 a step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 McDermott already told us the fans, the media and Shady himself that Shady is a big part of Mcdermotts' plan for the Bills succeeding so, he will NOT be traded. Also, idk if you heard Frank Gore interview when Gore said, Shady basically recruited him to sign with the Bills. Shady not going to another team and I personally am excited to see what the run game will look like this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassgixxer05 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 He had 160 carries last year. Old man Shady should be well rested and ready to explode out of the gates this year. No excuses as we went and got him some Fat boys. I believe he will have a good year and many on here will be talking about extending him by end of first quarter of season. Gore is going to fill in on short yardage and shady rest downs. Bills will be top 5 in rushing again. Wishful thinking right!? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 If Buffalo trades for a premier player and signs them to a massive deal. If that doesnt happen, Shady's deal helps them reach the minimum they have to spend this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOboy Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Unless we're planning something else pretty big, there's no reason to go this route this year. 1. We have some cap room left. 2. Shady's deal expires at the end of this season, if he doesn't bounce back he's gone next year with no cap hit. 3. He's basically our only returning vet on offense, why stir the pot by asking him to restructure his deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm just thinking if we want to part ways with him this year his contract makes it hard to do anything but cut him and cutting him leaves us with dead cap this year that we might want to carry over. A more manageable contract may make him more appealing via trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would move some of his cap hit to next season, but that wouldn’t help us at all. We aren’t up against the cap so we’d save space this season only to carry it forward into next season where we could have just left it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 As others have said, no need to restructure as we've got lots of cap space and this is likely his last year in Buffalo. Shady is about 1400 yards shy of 12k, a milestone that he wants to hit. If he can pull that off this year, then he may retire. If not, then I'm guessing he gets released and goes someplace where he can cross that threshold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some money back from Shadys cap hit. do something Team friendly. extending him with proper buffers is not too far fetched. he might have a hell of a year for us. and if he doesn't ? it will be time to move on. and that's okay 6 hours ago, John from Riverside said: I am thinking that it is one more year and then done with Shady......I will be VERY suprised if we dont take a RB in this draft just a matter of when , and what type . will be interesting to surmise where Daboll is headed with his Offense. who that pick up might likely be a real investment in future state scheming out of the backfield. or they could ride another ride another 3 years with veteran leadership types LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
