Ā But, yes, I agree, getting both Ertz and Nelson is very unlikely. Ā $3M salary, half guaranteed. Oh, geez, you're talking about a trade here, not a cut. OK, my fault, all $3M will be saved. Ā Roster bonus already paid. $1M of his signing bonus not yet accounted for, but must be. Ā So, they'd save $3M. Sorry, my bone-headed mistake. $2.2M would be dead cap if they trade him, the roster bonus and the unamortized signing bonus. Ā Cutting him would only save $1.5M. Trading him saves $3M plus whatever part of his workout bonus ($100K total) remained unpaid. Edited June 12, 2021 by Thurman#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Personally, I'd love to see Beane make a move for Ertz and Richard Sherman. Even if only for one year. Quick bandaids for positions of need.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Beane is not a guy to ponder roster decissions in the media.Ā Just like edge rusher.Ā Edge rusher was a concern.Ā Beane drafted a guy in Rd 1 and 2.Ā One offseason he signed 6 olineman.Ā Another he signed 2 wrs day 1 of FA.Ā What I am saying is that if he was worried about it he would fix it.Ā Imo he is trying to motivate Knox to hopefully take a step.

Bob in Mich Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It seems we must have some offer on the table for Ertz at this point. Since a trade for him hasnāt happened, we can assume the Eagles want more than our offer. We can also assume the Eagles arenāt waiting on Buffalo, so no one elseās offer has been deemed good enough either. Ā SweeteningĀ the offer might get it done but we donāt really have a strong need either. Ā I think I would be going the other way. Ā If, hypothetically we have offered a 5th, I would make it clear that is only through a certain date, say July 1st for example. After that date, the offer becomes a 6th. Ā The guy may be worth more but, then again, apparently not if no one is surpassing our offer. Ā The market pretty much demonstrates a playerās worth at a given time. Ā I guess I would like to have him but donāt see why we need to chase. Ā The Eagles have to do something. Ā We donāt really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he immediately used it to sign our first round pick as that happened immediately afterwards. Ā He is also working on extensions for Tremaine and Josh - so he could roll it over. Ā He could be waiting until camp cut downs as he has typically signed 1-2 veterans that get cut out of other camps. Ā He could be looking at a couple of players. Ā There are a bunch of options or he could be waiting on a trade. Ā This rumor has been going on so long - I think there is less smoke/fire and more embers that certain FOs are trying to stoke. Ā If the Bills really wanted Ertz - this would have gone down with the draft. Ā Now it is just a waiting game - as I donāt think the Bills really want a trade - I think they are looking for a cut and sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
