Process Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Love Dawson but it's pretty crazy that he was counting $14.4M against the cap in the first place. Stuff like that is why we are in this mess. 23 2 15 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 "reworked" sounds more like a pay cut than just a restructure I'm glad Von and Knox were willing to take less money after a down year. 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Sounds like a pay cut. Knox doesn’t have to agree to a restructure. Edited March 11 by Buffalo_Stampede 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Yes, key word there is "reworked". If it's a pay cut like Von took, Id be happy about that. Let's see how much this saves...but solid move to make 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was, we would be hearing "restructure" If we are taking the Miller model, I would suspect that it's a base salary reduction with a potential to be even more money if he returns to 2021 form. Which...if he's getting 550 yards and 8 TD, I am ok with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I was told a couple weeks ago Knox was approached about a paycut. I'm not sure what leverage we used considering his dead money hit would have been higher than his normal cap hit, but I'm glad to see he accepted the paycut. Perhaps we threatened a release with a post-6/1 designation? Glad to see Beane being especially ruthless this offseason. It is a necessary change. 15 9 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not much more they can do, unless the converted or reduced his contract $ and then added a load of additional incentives for this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 If it’s now incentive driven Dawson is Josh’s boy he will get every opportunity to try to hit those bonuses…might be a good fantasy TE take somewhere in your fantasy league 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious what the terms of this looks like? Shooting from the hip I am curious if they basically added a year or two, kept the same total value but increased his guarantees? That would mean that Knox would ultimately have more security and guaranteed money even if it means less year to year? Unsure though. Just guessing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the guy likes playing in Buffalo and with Josh Allen who they are really good friends. Wonder if that played a small part in this.

Logic Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Imagine working you way up the depth chart, balling out, and signing a big contract to be the TE1 of a top offense for years to come. Then the very next offseason your team trades up in the 1st round to select another tight end, and the offseason after that, they're knocking on your day asking you to take a paycut. Tough business. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
