17islongenough Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Not a pay cut just converting their base salary to a bonus so they can spread it over a few years. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Change your title. They’re not taking pay cuts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcdermott Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 They are not taking pay cuts. They are restructuring contracts to convert bonuses to salary. All three contracts were specifically written to do just that. In fact, Mahommes contract could be restructured every year for the next seven years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 They are just preparing to do a "Deshaun Watson" - hold out demanding to be traded making team absorb salary cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Yea these are not pay cuts, these are restructures. Mitch Morse, Mario Addison and Vernon Butler have taken pay cuts ($3m with a chance to earn some back for Morse, about $2m each for the other two). The Bills still have restructure options for Diggs, White and Dawkins... but I suspect Beane is only going to do that if it allows him to bring on board a difference making free agent. Otherwise he will keep those restructures up his sleeve for now and keep his options open down the line. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 What should be taken away from KC is how they handled getting upset in their first AFCCG after the 2018 season. Their defense was bad. They didn't just run it back..........which is all that the Bills spending has accomplished so far this offseason...........the Chiefs aggressively attacked their personnel issues and won the SB the next season. Hopefully the Bills aggressively address their lack of pass rush from the front 4 and need for more playmaking ability on offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Please stop saying pay cuts when these are restructures. The players just convert roster, salary, and/or and playing bonus money to signing bonus to prorate the cap hit. That's it. The players don't lose a dime in comp.
