They're parting ways after this season. There's no need to stretch it out Exactly. Why would we extend him? That would eliminate any comp pick we could get for him. It also would not net us anything. 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...

Even spent the better part of a week sulking and saying that he would refuse to show up. Don't kid yourself. He's gonna be on the first thing smokin' out of Buffalo as soon as he gets the chance. Most likely back to Philly. That's where he "wants" to be. I doubt it. He loves Buffalo. He had to have a change of heart, but its home now Complete speculation on your part Edited March 18, 2019 by BuffAlone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StHustle Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Last player we forced into a pay cut went crazy. I think we are in a healthy standing right now. The cap is one thing NOT to worry about right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 They have plenty of cap room. Take the full hit this year and let him walk after the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing when read The title as he’s gone after this year, and will probably retire. We also have the space and teams restructure commonly to open up cap for signings. i see us taking role players now, and we have the cap for it. We also have a lot of cap friendly deals with these new signings. 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...

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!? ? Just out of curiosity, your screen name - do you own/ride a Suzuki GSX-r? Agree about Shady, btw. I think he’s still got plenty left in the tank. Edited March 18, 2019 by BillsFan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FO wants him to be a member of the team. He wants to be on this team. I think this is the situation overall. ^ and highly agree with you. Understood our OPs point although incorrectly conveyed ? 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...
