Cut Urbik and C. Williams.
Restructure Wood, McCoy and M. Williams
With the money saved we could get:
Jordan Cameron
Bryan Bulaga
Justin Blalock
Greg Hardy
Make it happen Doug!
Why not? Safety is one of the more replaceable positions. He was an average player who will get good money on the open market. He's gone and I really don't see it as a big hole
I love the rich history of the Buffalo Bills and have the utmost respect for the success Ralph, Bill, Jim and co. reached. But I am tired of living in the past. Everyone refers to the 90's, living on the great successes that just aren't here any more. I cannot wait for a day when media and fans can stop rooting for games/players that happened 20+ years ago and we can finally endure some modern success to celebrate
Don't get me wrong, I think Chip is a talented coach. But he has way too much power in Phily. He's playing god with their roster and could be his down fall. For a guy that gets so much love in the media, I for one am sick of hearing how the Eagles 'won' this trade
There is also a lot of misunderstanding that 3-4 indicates 3 down lineman. While it can be, the 3-4 is more on an indication of the shades in which they play more than anything.
How about a more realistic option in Byron Maxwell? Any interest from Rex here?
Tall, lanky, experienced player. Teams often tested him and he did a solid job opposite Sherman. This signing would open up Corey Graham to move to Safety if needed and allows for the team to spend elsewhere while solidifying the secondary.
Looks like he just switched agents too...

No idea what kind of interest or money he'll draw on the open market but all signs show Maxwell unlikely to resign with Seattle.
Just a thought.
With Rex, he's less of a hole to fit. For what he is asking, you could fill two positions. One step backward, two steps forward.
I'm all for retaining good talent, but it needs to be at a reasonable and team friendly deal
