NoSaint Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 5 minutes ago, MikePJ76 said: sure also just normal team building. The league and the cap leave little room for old and declining players who make considerable amounts of money. I imagine the front office had this mapped out as they gave out the contracts with a few scenarios being different. Releasing/trading Diggs, dawkins, milano etc....would seem like a time to say rebuild. Most of these players sans the two starting safeties can be replaced on some level via the draft or mid level free agency after the draft. A lot of leadership and intelligence has left the locker room along with their cap numbers however and its nearly impossible to know how or when you can replace those qualities in players. Von Miller needs to be dealt with imo, there is no point in his being on the roster except for the cap ramifications. most teams flip all but 5 or so cornerstone guys every 3-4 years. Morse was a good player but not a cornerstone. You rotate as you find talent at or around the position. Three good guards for cheap created a viable shift 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards is a below avg guard and who the heck knows if McGovern can play center. What are we doing here?!!? just as a pulse check - the coaches have some idea of McGovern and we haven’t even entered free agency or the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruffalo Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I understand it but I still think this is the biggest surprise so far. We currently do not have a center on the roster. Wild. Good luck to Morse, he's been great for the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donuts and Doritos Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 To quote Lombardi: "What the Hell's going on out there?" Why are we fixing an O-line that's not broken. This is starting to feel like more of a overhaul than I expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they eat the ***** sandwich that is the Von Miller Albatross Contract (tm), too. My thoughts exactly. If we are going down this road, get rid of ass and eat it now. Diggs will be next year, and Knox should be let go as soon as the cap allows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is starting to feel like more of a overhaul than I expected Morse was on the down side to my eyes, couple that with a really good draft group and it was time to move on. Really didn't think Beane had it in him, but i think this is for the best long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think Kromer wanted to release Morse? I highly doubt it. He has to just work with whatever the bosses give him. He isnt a miracle worker.

Big Blitz Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 This is going to hurt. The locker room has and will lose: Morse Hyde Poyer White Davis That's significant. Really significant leadership loss. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) This is super interesting on a number of fronts, but the main thing is Morse was perhaps the last thing holding McD back from turning this offense into run first so he can play more complimentary football. We need a big RB and to replace Gabe with another blocking WR, but now we can run 11 personnel with more of a bruising interior. BTW I hate this development. Morse was still good and I liked the Daboll version of our offense better. Edited March 6 by VW82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
