vtnatefootball11 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Wait, why post June 1? Wasn't he due a roster bonus if still on the team next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 If they had cut him now would the cap hit have been the full $10 mil this year? But they do get to take the full $10M saving this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team does not pay that or any other non-guaranteed money. Just now, Ed_Formerly_of_Roch said: If they had cut him now would the cap hit have been the full $10 mil this year? But they do get to take the full $10M saving this year? The contract sits on the books as if he was still on the team until 6/1. The only difference is that the team is not obligated to pay work out bonuses, roster bonuses, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Are they allowed to release a player that is still injured? I thought you had to do an injury settlement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would not pay for them if they released him without the post 6/1 designation either. I was just clarifying that even though his contract is carried on the books as if he is here until 6/1, the Bills don’t owe him any of that money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) I am glad we released him but I don't understand the post-6/1 designation. We could have taken a $10.3M dead cap hit this year and saved $6M right a away, with no ramifications in 2025. Instead we take a $6.2M dead cap hit this year AND a $4.1M dead cap hit in 2025. And we don't really get to use his savings this year until after FA is over. I wonder what the thought process was here?
