Virgil Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Looks to be a 2-3 million dollar savings against the cap this year, while locking him up for a few more years. Solid move Edited March 14, 2022 by Virgil 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan Huff Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) I really thought he was cut potential. I’m indifferent about this…. Ok I’m going to break this comment down because apparently this is some of your guy’s first year following free agency Each team is allowed a certain amount of money each year to spend on players. It’s called a salary cap. Try to follow along. The Bills are really close to hitting that cap. Now I said Morse could have been a potential salary cap cut because of his salary, not because of his play on the field. He was already making a lot of money, top 10 salary on team. Now some teams base their cuts on the particular players salary, especially if they are close to the cap. When I said I was “indifferent” about this, it was because he was given a raise. Does Morse deserve a raise? In most situations I would say absolutely. But like I’ve been sating, we are close to the cap and we have some needs. Thank for attending my Ted Talk and go Bills Edited March 14, 2022 by Brennan Huff People are slow. Maybe it’s because it’s monday 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I get the restructuring but a raise? He's Mobile but can't move a traffic cone run blocking. Also a hit away from serious head injury. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Nice! I’m guessing his cap hit went down for this year despite the pay increase. I thought he had his best season as a Bill last year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, surely the hit for this year is lower. I'm sure some mathmetizer mofo will shed light soon enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just coming here to post that 1 minute ago, Virgil said: Ummmmm, so what's the benefit for the Bills? IMHO Morse was the best OLman on the Bills most of the season. YMMV 🤷♂️ But I think letting go of Williams and extending Morse is a big clue as to what kind of OL Kromer envisions here - athletic guys, not big road graders or guys who are trying to be athletic and failing. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 In the back of my mind I was still worried about Morse retiring. This is excellent news. One less potential hole to worry about. 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yes, he has a "pay raise", most likely in the form of a bonus that will be spread out over the remainder of the cap and probably his Salary will probably be converted into a bonus to be spread out as well. Probably a cap savings of around $3-$4 million for this year. This actually appears to be a pretty good value signing, if he is able to maintain his play which is above average on pass protection and average for run blocking, it's a good deal for the Bills. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
