Spent time in  camp with the Bills and was cut from the final roster

 

 

Some more background:

-Former Raiders 2017 5th round pick.  Injured in 2019 and 2020.

-Spent the 2021 off-season with B'lo,  cut at the end of August

-Signed to the Raiders PS and spent the season on and off the roster

I believe he was also their starting MLB for 2 seasons.

Without AJ Klien Lee has a better chance to make the team.  His special teams ability makes Matykavich (sp) a possible cut or trade option.  Quick way to get extra cash.  

 

I don't think Marquel Lee is beating out Matekavitch

 

Lee's career issue has been injuries.  2019 on IR for the Raiders twice; 2020 on PUP and waived with a failed physical at the end of training camp.

Last year on and off the PS for the Raiders and apparently stayed healthy; started 11 games and played 80% of the ST snaps in those games.

 

Lee's deal is now up on Spotrac. 

It's a Veteran Salary Benefit deal worth $1.187M to Lee, but only counting $1.0475M against the Bills' cap ($895k plus a $152k signing bonus).

The Bills are guaranteeing part of his salary, as his dead cap is shown as $252k

 

Estimated cap remaining (including Phillips and Lee but not Lawson, Crowder, or Barkley) $3.7M

$2.63M will be pushed off the bottom of the "top 51" when they go on the cap.

 

IF it's true that we signed Crowder for $4M, that would leave $2.33M for Lawson and Barkley - probably not enough.  (but Crowder's contract was reported as "up to" $4M)

When does the "Marquel Lee's First 24 Hours as a Buffalo Bill" video drop?
