hmm... this probably means he is staying and they won’t be looking at a DE in free agency... Suggest unlikely now If Addison remains on the roster..

And they are both back at team friendly deals because they would have got another $1-2 M a year elsewhere... Guys want to give that up to stay part of this locker room

Yes I would expect that to be the case like Milano

Only $9M per year? Wow... bargain

Yeah but Milano and Williams back... I’ll take that...

Great!! Lol the guy that told me yesterday there was as NO chance this could happen after Milano signing...

Yes they can still do it ...although I don’t think it will be one of the very top DE guys... They can sign someone to a similar deal to Milano or maybe a bit higher... say 4 years $50M.. Structure it in a way that you are only having a cap hit of $7-8 M Year 1 like Milano... This new DE makes Addison no longer required so he gets cut saving $6m so they essentially balance out for 2021

I think they will just cut Addison when they sign another DE in free agency...

Beane makes all these terrible moves but somehow the team went 15-4 last season...

Or plan B - pay Milano ... They can’t even cut Klein now as his money is mostly guaranteed for 2021...I could never see the appeal of that deal from last year... I’m betting they would like to be able to move on from that one...

Can you please post the link to the tweet next time ? Cheers

Milano decided to stay for less money then he could have got on the open market.. We dont know whether Williams will consider doing the same... Its probably unlikely as the clock is ticking but you are taking educated guesses like everybody else here...

100 people here said Milano was leaving too

Looking at the contract numbers reported by Sal Capaccio you got $7M Signing Bonus (only $3.5 M cap hit for first 2 years) ... Year 1 salary of $5.3m + Year 2 Salary of $7.5M so if he is getting $24M guaranteed there is some more money that must be guaranteed into the third year, if what has been reported so far is correct...

Terry and Kim obviously...

Yeah I agree that its not great brown talking publicly when he is still butthurt... Its part of the business and Brown has been around long enough to know how it all works.

Wow is right... I need to digest this as I thought the chances of him being back were close to zero... Not looking good for Williams now being back

I have been saying since the Chiefs loss that you need to lean on the medical staff evaluation of Brown, as he has been injured a lot last season, and even when he has played he hasnt looked as sharp as 2019... If they arent sure about him being the same player as 2019, then I think you move on completely.. Maybe this is what happened.. maybe not.. like a lot of things discussed here we will never know the full story... If they thought he could have been that player he was in 2019,then yes I would have liked to have brought him back at a discount for one more year...

Out of interest his agent is Ex player Dave Butz... See he also acts for Stefon Gilmore so maybe his focus has been on his future trade ...and he has dropped he ball by not getting onto Beane earlier to offer a paycut or pass the news of the paycut offer through to Smoke... Might not be a multi tasker...

You said originally he wouldnt take a pay cut . .this is another argument about what his agent should have done... Here is your original comment

I think you need to find the Bills Scouts and harass them for information on behalf of TBD...

I think you go with Watson though... the known quantity... although I much would prefer them to go down this riskier path... If they trade him I think it will be to either Miami or Jets.... just with that higher pick on offer this year... makes a lot of difference

Have they cut the backups yet though? Some of them might be their starters in 2021

Trade with the Jets for Darnold, a haul and number 2.... then trade that to Carolina for 8 and Burns..

For who was my question... Jones will be long gone
