Shoutbox Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Cutting Kelsay would save $4.175 million in cap space with only $0.800 million of dead cap money. This is starting to get REALLY ridiculous now.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Looks like odds are good Kelsay will stay. http://www.rotoworld...78/chris-kelsay Rotoworld got that from the Associated Press/John Wawrow's piece linked upthread. As John already said, Kelsay is approaching it like he's staying but is mindful that the decision is not his to make.
3rdand12 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I'll say this - if you're going to cut a guy like Kelsay, who would, I'd guess, play in about 30% of the snaps, while making close to 4-5 million a year, are you going to find another F.A. for equal or lesser money who would make more of an impact? Maybe - but, my guess is, with a draft like this one, where the D-line is so deep, you could draft a guy or two in the mid rounds and pay him less than a million a year, and with that kind of player you have the potential to strike gold. I believe that is where this defense is headed this year - out with the old, in with young players who are hungry, athletic, and if we bring in enough, some of them should stick. we only have six picks Its such a mystery, Kelsay is overpaid based off of his performance yet he sticks around through multiple regimes. If the Bills are up against the cap and they don't cut Kelsay they are morons. your and idiot Buddy Nix is white, Kelsay is ... really ? you need proffesional help asap. its about the damn lunchpail dude
Dr. Trooth Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Maybe not. He has significant experience at de in the 4-3 and two full years as olb in a 3-4. Most everyone believes him to be worthless as a olb in the 3-4, but everyone in Edwards defense looked worthless. It was also a read and react 3-4, not an attacking downhill 3-4 that Pettine will deploy. So, Kelsay, more than anyone on the front 7, gives Pettine the most versatility of any player. As with any 3-4, I don't care who lines up where, if you don't have a quality NT, you will suck. The Bills do not have a quality NT on the roster. It has to be a high priority in the offseason.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Kelsey is some sort of survivor.. He always turns up
Dean Cain Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) we only have six picks your and idiot really ? you need proffesional help asap. its about the damn lunchpail dude Kelsay didn't bring his pail in '12, Barnett & Wilson were more productive and are 2 years younger in positions where being 30 plus is more doable than the defensive line.

Rob's House Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Kelsay didn't bring his pail in '12, Barnett & Wilson were more productive and are 2 years younger in positions where being 30 plus is more doable than the defensive line. He doesn't need his pail because he eats the other guy's lunch. YEAH!
Meathead Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 kelsay is waay more valuable than merriman. thirty one other teams had the chance to sign shawn and passed for a reason. if kelsay is cut it is guaranteed somebody will pick him up and put him in their rotation. im fine with whatever this staff decides to do with either of them but id say odds are at least 4-1 in kelsays favor over merriman staying on next year im pretty confident they will bring moore back. even though its a different regime it was still the bills that gave him his shot over merriman in the first place. hes probably got a good deal of loyalty to this team so if they want him they probably have him no problem
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Since the expiration of his rookie contract as a 2nd round pick, Kelsay has completed a 4-year, $23 million contract and is entering the 4th year of a 5-year, $28 million contract.

Dr. Trooth Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Kelsay aint a bad player. The bigger question is value... can you get what he brings to the table for a lot less money?
DrDawkinstein Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Part of me hopes Kelsay plays for the Bills until he decides to retire... at 68 years old. Making $10mil/year.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Part of me hopes Kelsay plays for the Bills until he decides to retire... at 68 years old. Making $10mil/year. just to drive the board crazy ?
Dean Cain Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 This just in.....Kelsay lost his old faded red Nebraska hat.
Dorkington Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Didn't realize Moore is a FA as well. So that means we have Williams, Anderson and Kelsay under contract, and $30m in room? I say we don't make a move on Kelsay unless we have a better opportunity. I'd like to bring Moore back, and I'd also welcome Merriman back. I don't think our DL is our issue on our defense, but if we get a better option we go for it.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 just to drive the board crazy ? Partly that, yes. But also because he has to become a cult favorite sooner or later. I think a lot more people are going to miss Kelsay once he is gone than they realize. Not because he's that great of a player, but just because he's always been around. And he gives us Bills fans the one thing we want more than anything else, even more than a championship, and that's something to complain about.

There will always be something to complain about. Always.

Yeah Kelsay is like the slow-moving zombie in the B Movies that you just can't kill. He keeps showing up in every scene. A step behind but always around.

Beerball Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah Kelsay is like the slow-moving zombie in the B Movies that you just can't kill. Is he on like a MOFO?
