Dont Stop Billeiving Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Rapoport just tweeted 7 min ago that 'Bills C Mitch Morse cut his salary by nearly $2M to stay in Buffalo.' Great news. A solid player kept at a more reasonable cost. Edited March 9, 2021 by Dont Stop Billeiving Added link 21 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Follow up tweet from Ian Rapoport...sounds like some new incentives have been built in which seems like the smart approach to hedge against his injury risk/concussion history.

QBorBust2018 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I would still like to bolster this OL. Hope they select a lineman in the first 3 rounds. 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Nice, one less hole to fill. Nothing wrong with a veteran center. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 positive news! i gotta say, given morse is getting kept cheaper, i think it's one of williams or mongo getting retained, not both. unless they think they can get RB and OLB cheap in the draft or what have you. based on mccorch's past, the DL is gonna get real attention. that's his bread and butter.

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Good point from Sal C...I was never in favor of releasing Morse, but sounds like the Bills will possibly willing to go that route if necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NI Bills Fan Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Excellent news. As one of the leaders on the team, hopefully this sets an example and we see some savings made with other contracts too. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, only LT (Dawkins) and C (Morse) are filled with above average players at this point. I'm hoping they can bring back Williams on a $10M AAV or less contract, but that may not be in the cards. We need upgrades at both guard spots IMO (although I could live with Ike Boettger since we aren't overflowing with cap space and draft picks) as well so yeah completely agree that we should aim to use an early draft pick on the O-line and another in the later rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting him to be a cut and another center to be signed - possibly even Mongo returning. While this is certainly better than paying him what he was due, I’d have probably still gone that route. One more concussion and I don’t see how you ever put him back on the field. I’d be shocked if we don’t draft a center this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey D Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I think Williams is gone-- too expensive. Feliciano back as well because his cheaper. Ford back, and get a cheaper RT option in FA, put Ford back there, or most likely a high pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Good move. I would have been fine if they cut him, but keeping him another year at a lower cost works too. Hope they do the same with Brown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 14 minutes ago, JMF2006 said: Thats good news. Completely disagree. When you have 5 concussions you are basically playing on borrowed time to begin with. They had an out and should have taken it. Josh needs to be paired with a young center for the next 10 years (Landon Dickerson?) and while it's fun to picture Morse starting for 16 games it just isn't likely to happen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
