Halloween Land Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Looking at his 2021 salary from Spotrac.com, releasing Brown would save $8.15 million from the cap and only $1.6 million in dead cap. He is a great player to have but with Gabriel Davis playing well and Brown dealing with injuries this year, I can see him being released. What do you guys think? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I've thought about it but I think they want to keep the continuity. I can honestly see Morse being released....does he have a big dead cap hit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The idea is having the best talent surrounding Josh Allen. Having Smoke on the field does that 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codyny13 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I’m not a fan of releasing good players that help the team. He’s had a rough season with injuries, but he’s not injury prone. Only way this happens is the covid affected salary cap takes a severe dump. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Could yes. Could means possibility. An mini-asteroid COULD hit Fixborough stadium forcing P*ts to play one of their games in Buffalo. Other than possibility it is just idle speculation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Huff Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think it’s definitely possible. Going to have to free up some money somewhere. As it stands right now we’ll have 29 million committed to Diggs, Brown, and Beasley next season with some big extensions coming quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morse's salary next year is $10,375,000 with a dead cap of $5,500,000. 2022 would be more favorable to release him with a $2,750,000 dead cap hit.

JohnNord Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 It’s a possibility but way too early to tell. A lot depends on the cap, how Brown performs when he returns from injury,how Davis performs at WR 2, and where the Bills end up this postseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 We run enough 3 and 4 WR sets that neither Brown nor Davis has to keep the other one off the field. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be surprised. he and/or beasley are the type you get to keep with the rookie deal quarterback. You don’t get to pay 3 wrs forever but now is a great time with all of them being effective and a great match for each other. davis is perfect for reliable depth and allows either a high upside project or specialty player instead of struggling to find a 4th body that could be near full time to add if you cut brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you designate if as a post June 1st cut he counts for 2.75 of dead cap for 2021 and 2022. You end up saving 7.6 million in 2021, and 8.5 million in 2022. Resign Feliciano to play center at a lower contract, and then draft a right tackle and right guard. On the Brown thing, you save 8.5 million by cutting him. I can see him as a restructure, but its going to have to be a large pay cut for it to matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITE ME Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Monday night was the first time I thought the Bills offense could function at an elite level without Brown. Obviously a healthy Davis is better than an unhealthy Brown, but Brown is still a better receiver. They will need a healthy Brown if they are to beat the elite teams in the playoffs. As for next year, we need to see what Davis does down the stretch. Edited December 10, 2020 by FUTURIST 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has dressed for 8 games this year and in 3 of those games he had 1 catch or no catches. Insert other media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current structure allows them to keep Smoke. 2022?? Different story then for sure.....then it is going to be nickel and dimes due to the JA contract.....even if he does offer up a homie town discount.....it is still gonna be a big huge hit. Rightfully so. Go BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think Davis has big time potential, but I'm not cutting John Brown after this year UNLESS they are planning on using his cap savings to help re-sign Feliciano, Williams & Milano, then draft a speed WR in the 1st Round. This Offense is built around a solid OL, stud QB and 4 very good WR's. The trade-off is average playmakers at RB & TE. Can't have everything (unless you're KC apparently).. 4 good WR's is paramount to this Offense and allows us to still have 3, even when someone like Brown goes down for some games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
