Roundybout Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 1 minute ago, Niagara Dude said: Great decision to cut him, another one Beane's long list of poor free agents signings where he paid too much for so little production. Not surprised to see hims sign for league min our out of league because he is a mediocre LB. I am sure some experts will laugh but you watch what he signs for, no team paying him what the Bills gave him and those kind of signings were a big reason why defence lacked any playmakers beyond White. Hard disagree, I thought he was great for the contract we gave him. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) 27 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: This was one of the many no-brainer moves we could make to free up cap space. Others being extending Diggs, extending Edmunds, releasing or re-working deals on Beasley, Feliciano, Morse, D. Williams, and Butler. This is not a huge loss. You can easily replace what Klein brought us with a draft pick or a cheaper option. I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the players that we'll have going out aren't going to make us substantially worse off than we were last year. On the contrary, with good drafting and smart moves in the FA and Trade market - I can easily see us being better off. Agreed that it had to be done. I don't wholeheartedly disagree with your second point, but I do disagree, if for no other reason than we are going to lose more guys, experienced with our system, than we are going to get through the door. This isn't a one for one, every time. Even getting rid of Klein, a player who was a reasonably dependable asset, we are still not under the cap, and we still have to replace him. We also know it is pretty darn likely we are not replacing him for another 5 million dollar LB, especially when we have other holes and and we have to resign some other assets for good money. We are likely going to lose Cole, but maybe we keep Isiah who may cost what we were paying Cole. This year we had both of them, two assets, but in 2022 we will have just one and not much additional cap space from it, if any.

Back2Buff Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I was hoping for a pay cut. Don't trust Dodson to stay healthy or produce, and can't stand Edmunds on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Would have preferred to see Klein stay with a big pay cut but maybe he wasn't interested in doing that. This probably also means that everyone's favorite whipping boy is now 100% locked in to returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I thank him for his services, he showed out when called upon but if we plan on keeping Edmunds, it’s the right move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 58 minutes ago, junior said: Does anyone know the cap savings if we cut Matakevich? I don't think we will, but I'm curious. $2.5M would come off the books, but another player would roll up into the top 51 for $700k. Net savings would be $1.8M. As such I don’t think he’s a definite cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Played decent in spots. But my lasting memory of him as a Bill will be seeing him 12 yards away from the play as Jonathan Taylor rips off another 15 yard run.

The Bills have to rely on young players stepping up for some of the veterans they can no longer afford. That's how it works in the first couple years of a QB's new mega-deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
