First Round Bust Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) excellent and smart move - 3 more years if it goes to the max will be 8 years - this was a find and a big hit by McD - this one precedes Beano 2=year extension worth 19.25M per NFL Network h/t espn Edited March 5, 2021 by First Round Bust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Huh? He's our leader and his play was still good. Likely helps drop his cap number for next year and the guaranteed signing bonus is probably spread out over 3 years making it easier to cut him at any time after next year. This is 100% a move to help free up cap dollars in some way. Edited March 5, 2021 by Big Turk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Looking like 2 years just under $20 million. So he's getting about 3 years $26-27 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly-- an extension but also lowering his salary for the upcoming year. I think this is a great signing and I am sure that if we release him after this year or 2022 -- that it wont count much against the cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to figure out how we could lower the cap with the numbers released and I really couldn't find one without pushing his cap really high in the future. This is simply a reward for good play by the Bills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhit34 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Probably go vet minimum salary to go from $4M to $1M and the $3M becomes signing bonus spread over 3 years so gives $2M cap relief. Diggs, Hughes, Brown and Morse all prime candidates for similar move (extension, restructure), probably could save $10-14 million on cap if all 4. The thing is cap will go up a lot in future years if 100% fans and then new TV contract so moving salary to future years isn't necessarily delaying the inevitable, it's shifting cap impact to years that will be more manageable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRiderBills Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Strange call. Not a fan of this move. Player looked like he had lost a step in 2020. $ number of contract will put him at or near franchise tag number for a safety in range of top 5. He's still solid, but not at that level. Some folks were saying he could be cut. I thought that was overboard. BUT I would have looked to put him in a contract year and tagged him if needed.

HappyDays Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Keeping Poyer and Hyde locked up for the next couple years is really important. On their own neither of them are elite but together they make one of the best safety tandems in the league. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills404 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) The Bills average depth of target against them was 6.9 yards, which was the lowest in the NFL. That's a Micah Hyde stat. Edited March 5, 2021 by gobills404 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not seeing any new guarenteed money, so less dead money. If so, not bad, and i can live with it, especially if he gets back his form in 21.
