Orlando Tim Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 6 hours ago, GunnerBill said: It will be $45m as long as they don't cut bait after 2023. Sorry... will be almost $40m guaranteed if they don't cut bait after 2023. The final $5.5m guarantees at the start of the league year in 2025. I do understand what the cap hit looks like and I expect him to get all his money if not traded, but it will not be the devastating gut punch I had feared originally if he plays like Marcell Dareus from now on, MD after his big contract.

That someone is Jim Overdorf and he’s one of the best at structuring contracts and managing the cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was brilliant, and the Bills have an out or restructure ability after 2 years in place. People seem to forget if at all over, goes out there and has a huge season. We wouldn’t even be able to afford him. He would be looking at money like the top defensive tackles in the league. I think the bills are taking a bit of a gamble here but I like the gamble it gave us relief this year, which allowed us to get Leonard Floyd on board and that shows that they’re pushing some chips into the middle of the table here and if it pans out, they will look very smart as that contract is not even going to be middle top money soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. I've heard him spoken highly of by Chris brown and Steve tasker but didn't know what his responsibilities are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually as I understand it Kevin Meganck is the lead day to day contract negotiator and capologist now. Jim stepped back a little 2 years ago. He is still around as an advisor but Meganck who was formerlly his assistant is now the principle guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully Beane recognized his talents when they were cleaning house after Rùss Brandon, Nix and Whaley. Another reason to be glad Ralph was cheap!

Jim was in the office all that week lending his advice to the process and hammering out details.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I would like to see Meat Ball be hired as DL advisor and work with Oliver more. Oliver has that explosion off the line but he doesn’t have the timing that Meat Ball had. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no valid comparasions between these two guys. Williams is light years better than Oliver. Thus, the salary difference is valid.
