NeverOutNick Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Best CB we’ve ever had when healthy. Loved his attitude and everything about him but I understand the move. Hope he rebounds and plays great for an NFC team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he's got money and had success, the point is that he was a highly gifted, hard-working athlete with a great spirit whose career was cut short. That's disappointing, for him, the team, and the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? What you post is exactly how I understand it too. I'd rather take the full 10 now than spread it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julian Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Ok, now we’re seeing Bean making the tough but necessary decisions, I was worried he’d be too emotionally involved with some of the veterans to do what needed to be done. Glad to see the GM is doing right by the organization and leaving feelings at the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Super Fan Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 The right move here by the Buffalo Bills two ACL’s Tre White won’t be the same player he once was in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Surprisingly, I'm not all that upset. I've soured on Tre over the last 2 plus years. His play looked like it was in decline before he got hurt and it just went south from there. Yeah, it sucks getting injured. I know everyone is different but I thought he would have returned sooner after his ACL. When he did finally return he looked pedestrian at best. It also looked like he was afraid to go 100% because of fear of reinjuring. That really ticked me off. Then last year with the Achilles kinda sealed his fate and now will wear a "damaged goods" label. High character, good team mate, but the run is over. Good luck Tre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WInfield/Clements were both WAY better than Tre, and I liked Tre loved Winfield and Clements but at his best Tre was better. True lockdown #1.

ScotSHO Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Nate Odomes had a similar career to Tre. Very productive, lasted longer than the average CB but injuries ended his career in a similar fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) I’ll always root for Trey but Achilles to one leg and an acl to the other who knows if we would ever see the old tray again We just couldn’t do it not at that price Edited March 7 by John from Riverside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? I suspect, though I don't know, it is related to the injury. If they'd cut him with an immediate designation then because he couldn't pass a medical the roster bonus, which is guaranteed for injury, accelerates onto the cap so your savings are not $6m they are $4.5m. Maybe with a post 1 June cut the point at which he has to be able to pass the medical is then - even though technically he is a FA now? I don't know that last sentence to be true. Others might know more on how that works. But that is my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
