Estro Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Bills save $2.475M in cash if they cut Chris Williams. They only save 725k on the cap due to his prorated signing bonus. I'd say there's still a chance he gets the axe as $2.475M saved in cash is far above the vet. min. and I think his services can probably be replaced by a vet. minimum contract. He graded very poorly with the Rams, and was gradidn out extremely poor with the Bills before he got hurt. He has a 2015 roster bonus of 500k, so if the Bills are going to make a move they will certainly do so before that 500k payment is due. Does anyone happen to know when roster bonuses are due? I believe most agents negotiate those bonuses to be paid prior to FA opening, that way if the team chops him the player is at least a FA before the FA spending is all dried up.

Correct on the cap numbers. As for roster bonuses, usually they're due on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd day of the league year.
Chuck Wagon Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Old and declining. Graded out very poorly according to profootballfocus.com this past season. Pass Exactly. He posted a -12.3 in just 7 games. Blow that out to 16 games and he might have been one of the worst guards in football. People really need to step up beyond the "I've actually heard of him, he can't be awful" analysis. There's enough data easily available now.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 The Philly radio talk show perspective is that they can't believe he got cut. The line there really struggled early on, which led to Foles getting beat like a piñata. I would most definitely take a sniff.
Chuck Wagon Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 How did he grade out in previous seasons? '11 - 21st ranked tackle - slightly ahead of Demetrius Bell '12 - missed 8 games knocking his grade down, 27th at tackle, would have been ~17th with a full year '13 - 23rd ranked guard - slightly worse than Urbik In his prime he was an average starting lineman. He's no longer in his prime.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Why not? A biceps injury is not career threatening.
bourbonboy Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I'd rather have Blalock, just cut by Atlanta - graded above average, and at 6'4' / 326 fits our ground and pound scheme.
3rdand12 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I'd rather have Blalock, just cut by Atlanta - graded above average, and at 6'4' / 326 fits our ground and pound scheme. just saw that release today. good catch B Boy !!

He's been in the league for nine or ten years and started 11+ games in six or seven of them. Barely played as a rookie. Is it more accurate to describe what kind of player someone is by looking at what they've done over the course of their career or what they've done in recent years? Todd Herremens has missed 16 games combined the last three seasons which clearly indicates that he is no longer durable Find a definition for that Edited February 28, 2015 by Max997

Todd Herremens has missed 16 games combined the last three seasons which clearly indicates that he is no longer durable Find a definition for that I honestly wasn't aware he had missed half of 2012 as well before my original post but I'll make sure to look through into the past of any player prior to posting going forward to make sure I met your stringent accuracy standards Edited February 28, 2015 by JM57
YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 3.5/yr Grigson tho... This signing is destined to fail
Reed83HOF Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 3.5/yr Grigson tho... This signing is destined to fail LOL as are most things he does...
thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Wow. If Herremens gets 3.5, what's Boling going to get?
