FireChans Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Thank god. He knew he was cooked if he didn’t take less. I know folks say cutting him was impossible, but players don’t take pay cuts unless they are on the block.

For now, it's a pay cut, but with the opportunity to make it all back plus some. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 If that is as reported it is a proper pay cut. What I mean by that is it isn't a restructure and it isn't swapping non-guaranteed money for a smaller amount of guaranteed money. Von's $17.5m salary this year was FULLY guaranteed. He is taking a near $9m pay cut (who knows what the incentives are). That is significant. 12 5 7 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super interesting, but I bet those "hard to reach incentives" were attainable in Von's eyes, which is why he agreed to it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beebe Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 If he has a huge season and earns the max amount of incentives (the 20 mill figure), the earn via incentives get applied to 2025 salary cap unless i'm mistaken. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruffalo Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Just shows how good Beane is. Top 5 GM in the league. If Von plays like he was originally supposed to, he gets a bag. Perfect scenario for both sides. 6 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SydneyBillsFan Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 A great move by Beane. However, I have to give Von some credit here. He was under no obligation to restructure or take a cut. Yet my gut feel is that he knows he has vacuumed up a substantial portion of our cap over the past two seasons with not much to show for it. I suspect this is is his way of making amends. I like it. 12 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know folks say cutting him was impossible, but players don’t take pay cuts unless they are on the block. Actually I think he legitimately thinks he can still play and this new deal gives him the opportunity to earn more than what he was scheduled to earn. Think about it folks... you can almost guarantee that 2 of the "hard to reach incentives" put in his contract are tackles and sacks. That means if he gets more tackles than 2023, he reaches that incentive and earns more. That wouldn't be hard considering he had 3 tackles If he gets more sacks than in 2023, he reaches that incentive and earns more. That wouldn't be hard considering he had 0 sacks. My bet is another incentive will be games played or active, and considering he started the season on PUP, that might not be hard for him, either. So yes, this is a solid for Buffalo, but he may legitimately believe he's about to earn more than he was scheduled... and all of that money goes on next year's CAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
