JohnNord Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The believe online is that Chicago could be signing him to a new deal and will be taking on a lot more of his cap hit. So the Bills could see more cap relief that what’s already on the books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I too am surprised, but wasn't aware of his cap hit. I don't think this closes the door on us moving on from Morse. Like RB's, many don't see C as a 1st round value. I could see us go WR and C in our first 3 rounds, then spend the rest of our attention on defense.

JJGauna Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 BBB at it again, decent move, hopefully replaced cheaply in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapperCam Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I kind of wonder if this is slightly a favor to Bates. He’s good enough to start and he’s stuck on the bench here. I think this guarantees Morse is returning for another year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I anticipated this but didn't expect it could happen until late in TC. Thought Mitch Morse would get released and that Anderson and Bates could fight it out for the center job and if Anderson won then Bates would be dealt. Guessing this signals that Morse is in still. I also want to come out of this draft with 3 OL if possible and need roster spots to do that. Lot's of good OL to be had and a good opportunity to re-set the pay scale at OL for the Bills over next couple seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCofNC Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Ahh the ole McDermott philosophy of someone being too valuable to let play, gotta love it. I don’t like seeing him go, but if doofus won’t play him, you can’t pay him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet it be nice if can get David Edwards back for less than Bates was due. Edited March 5 by The Jokeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kromer has a long history with center Brian Allen that was released by the Rams. Just a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Pick 9 in the 5th, so it's a high 5th - way closer to a 4th than a 6th (especially when you consider comps). Getting a high 4th for a guy who's been mainly a Backup would have been a big ask. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
