Sestak4ever Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Sorry to see Poyer go, although he is slowing down. Gave us some great years and memories. Very happy to extend Douglas. Go Bills!🏈🍻 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerBillsFan Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I would guess a conversion of base salary to bonus and a void year added.

I am betting he and the Bills couldn't come to an agreement this offseason on one. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on top of that I don't get how a restructure changes the cap number for a player in the final year of his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Does this mean extension is off the table? Or can they still do that after the restructure? I'm actually ok with this. Restructuring to save cap without committing long term may be the best move. Keep him around one more year than get younger and cheaper next offseason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerBillsFan Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I still say if the new DB coach feels he can get Elam up to speed, move Douglas to Safety. Then do an extension at a safety rate of pay. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 11 minutes ago, Mango said: Can somebody explain to me how a restructure works in the last year of a players contract? Simply they are taking cap from this year and moving it to future years. You can do this with base salary by turning it into a bonus payment. Im surprised they didn’t do an extension, but that can still happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extend his contract so it goes a few years longer but they void when the new financial year starts, Brady did this with the Patriots tons of times to keep his cap figure lower.
