CaptnCoke11 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) According to a league source, the #Bills have agreed to a restructured contract with FB Patrick DiMarco, lowering his 2020 cap hit from $2.35 million to $1.9M -- a $450,000 savings. The new figure is his base salary+prorated signing bonus+workout and per-game roster bonuses.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 "Would you rather take a cut and still make $1.3M here? Or be released and try your value on the open market?" Up to the player/agent to decide from there. Seems like a no-brainer for both sides in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I really wish they went after Dan Vitale as a guy who can do more in the passing game. If the Bills want to have a guy who can block but also split out as a receiver when they go empty sets, they should have pursued Vitale. I don’t have a problem with DiMarco, I just have a problem with the way they use him. If they are going to do more of that stuff they need a Delanie Walker-Kyle Juszcyk type. There are a few of those body types in the draft this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is supposedly a special teams ace, if that is the case (I have no idea I am not watching special teams film and even if I was I would have no idea if someone is that good or not) then I think he justifies his roster spot. But if that is not the case I agree, full back is such a niche position that having a good one is worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I can see his agent negotiating a bonus clause for playoff games,fly patterns and jump balls; speaking of unbearable I watched a replay of the Houston playoff game this weekend on the NFLN and I can only hope that the entire offense esp the coaches were told to watch it 10x and had to submit a report on it.

Some of those plays should have been left on the practice field. doesn't Dimarco do some good work on Teams as well ? do not understand the seemingly personal dislike of the guy. Be mad at Daboll if you have to be angry. That all being said. They should always look to upgrade that position as you have kindly mentioned : ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Daboll, in the Jets game especially and in the Houston game looked like he was trying to get a mismatch. The went 5 wide with Lee Smith/Kroft and DiMarco in the game. If the other team came out in base defense they would throw, if the defense was in a sub package, they could shift to heavy formation and smash with the run. This is a good strategy but just did not work because Smith and DiMarco do not offer mismatch situations. Texans linebackers were way more athletic than them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st pete gogolak Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I still blame him for f'ing up Peterman's career. If memory serves, Peterman had a couple of nice completions to open the San Diego game and then put a pass right in DiMarco's hands. It proceeded to bounce off his hands into a Charger's interception. It was all downhill (rapidly) after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[video shown] [contract signed] [exit left] That play was never supposed to go to him. He was the clear out. Who the hell would fall for DiMarco as a decoy? Well the Texans did - he attracted the double coverage just like it was drawn up. Unfortunately John Brown got held up at the line took a second longer than planned to come open across the formation and Josh decided he couldn't wait and heaved the ball to DiMarco in double coverage and the drive stalled.
