Ppl complain but he is a leader and does his job. I think Dabol uses him as a pass option more this year Expand I hope that whole post was a joke.

They Bills just asked him to take a straight cut in pay. He’s a FB so that makes some sense. They probably guaranteed the lower salary as part of the deal. Expand it’s not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but nothing Beane does is random. He probably has a budget for the backfield and if he’s gonna bring in a vet, Dimarco was given the choice of a pay cut or getting cut. 1

We don't need leaders taking up roster spots that don't do anything to win games. One of McDermott's weaknesses IMO. 1

Expand DiMarco is 31, plays FB and is in the last year of his contract. It’s not a stretch to imagine that convo: We’d love to keep you, but we can’t at your current salary. Let’s look at the numbers and see what we can work out.
BuffaloRebound Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 If he took a $700k pay cut as is now being reported, it would cost as much to cut him as to keep him per salary cap purposes. His now $1.1m salary is about $500k more than the vet minimum. He’d have a dead cap of $500k if they cut him.
