As a note, I think it's entirely possible to believe that Chip Kelly is a brilliant coach, yet a really bad GM.

No question he's a great college coach and a very bright guy.

And I can think of one authoritarian task master who'se done pretty well for himself in our division.

I just don't know how far you can go with system trumping talent to the extent he does it. Not really the NFL way.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

He will clear waivers after 24 hrs near 4PM ? then become a FA ,void his last contract.

If Whaley and Ryan want him and our cap guys think it can work with Marcel's deal coming up, i am all for it. I am a little wary of signing a soon to be 34 year old guard to anything more then a 3 year deal.

The problem is Dareus. We have to keep him, and to get that deal done, we need money. We are $7 mil under the cap, so cutting Urbick and C. Williams would save an additional $3.5 mil. We usually need about $5 mil in emergency money for injurues, we would be very tight if we cut those two guys, and pay Mathis a decent contract with some guaranteed money.

 

We won't be able to resign Dareus though, and his number will only go up after another top year. we would have an impressive line if we signed him.

 

 

don't worry they will figure it out, having Mathis instead of a rookie would be huge.

They love John Miller doe....

 

I wonder if John coming in and being much better then advertised may have a influence on this decision.......especially if the dollar demands are high.

 

Im good either way.....

The only way I see this happening is if Mathis really, really wants to come to Buffalo and is willing to take a discount. This will likely be his last contract, and I have to believe that there are 4-5 other teams that have the need for Mathis and much more $ to throw around.

 

This would be a luxury acquisition.

Does Mathis wait until mini camps and otas are over? Until teams are done with them but before camp?

 

I would if I were him. I don't know if a team wants to give him a workout bonus or not?

According to Rex, he's looked great.

 

In fact, he used the word "outstanding".
