Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Would not be a smart signing at the rumored price he wants, over $5 million. Bills need to now keep their own, not add, unless its a QB. They could cut Fred Jackson and Chris Williams though, then its possible. Edited June 11, 2015 by TheTruthHurts
YoloinOhio Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 They have cap space? I feel like they've been spending a lot lately.i thought they did have some for this year but don't care enough to look up.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 i thought they did have some for this year but don't care enough to look up. Like $6-$7 milliion space. But a lot of big money players to sign. That can be carried over to next year.
OCinBuffalo Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 he was holding out for more money. just some perspective. and he didn't get it. Â I don't know how losing a holdout by getting released outright, and not traded, improves your bargaining position with the other 31 teams. IF somebody thought he was worth the money he was being paid, they would have traded for him. Â So, we have to start with less than he was going to make the next 2 years, don't we? I mean, who releases an All-Pro, #2 PFF guard, unless the guy swears he isn't gonna play a single down without more $? Is Kelly's need for control worth dumping a guy like Mathis? We don't know. Regardless, Mathis gambled, and lost. Â The rest of the teams have their perspective as well.
YoloinOhio Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I wonder how close Shady and Mathis are.i don't know but 1) they both hate chip and 2) the bills said shady was one of their best recruiters during FA
Lurker Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Miller is going to be playing from the sounds of it. They can cut Williams and pay Mathis $4M without a problem I believe. He'll want more than $4 million, however, as that was the sticking point in Philly. Â May have to shuffle some other contracts around to pay him in the $6 million range over 2-3 years....
Big C Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 i don't know but 1) they both hate chip and 2) the bills said shady was one of their best recruiters during FA Â He needed some friends to come to town so he finally had an excuse not to hang out with Boobie.
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Save money and re-sign our other players. No thanks
Rocky Landing Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Save money and re-sign our other players. No thanks Ralph speaks from the grave...
YoloinOhio Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Â He needed some friends to come to town so he finally had an excuse not to hang out with Boobie. he is always hanging out with Felton so you may be right. Poor Boobie.
Big C Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 he is always hanging out with Felton so you may be right. Poor Boobie. Â Boobie shouldn't have bowled on his turn!
Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Ralph speaks from the grave... Not at all. Check our cap situation moving forward. Bills cant sign free agents unless you lose players.
YoloinOhio Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Is someone tracking Air Pegula... You know, just in case.
Heitz Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Can't believe I beat Yolo (fist pump) Â Â YOLO ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. Probably napping next to Buddy in their matching football brown barkerloungers...
Lurker Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Cutting Chris Williams frees up only $2.5 million with a dead cap hit of $875,000. Another $2.7 million could be found by cutting Freddie (highly doubtful, but who knows given the depth at RB). Same for Boobie ($1.1 million cap save, $166,666 dead cap). Â If they're comfortable with the progress of Duke Williams, they could keep Graham at corner and trade McLuv'n ($3.9 million in cap space, $1 million in dead cap). Â I'd like to see them take a run at Mathis but suspect he'd prefer Denver or even Miami, since he's a southern boy and Miami-based Drew Rosenhaus is his agent...

26CornerBlitz Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 @MichaelSalfino Chip Kelly is in the process of flaming out as an NFL coach but no one sees it yet. He can't coach adults it appears. #Eagles
Kelly the Dog Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) This is exactly what McCoy meant when he called Kelly a racist. He was talking about top players who spoke their mind. At that point it was only black players that had been gotten rid of, and like it or not, a black guy (with good reason because of history although it may not be true) will perceive that as black entering into the equation. That whitey in power doesn't like anyone usurping or questioning or equaling that power and whitey ESPECIALLY does not like when it is a black guy. Â McCoy was right then and he is right now. It's just not as much a black thing as he perceived it. Kelly doesn't like strong willed and loud mouthed players on his team. Edited June 11, 2015 by Kelly the Dog
onceagain778 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 1-year contract would be great; counting on both Miller and Incognito to be both healthy and productive is not the smartest thing IMO
BarleyNY Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Not at all. Check our cap situation moving forward. Bills cant sign free agents unless you lose players. Sadly, this is correct. It would be worth it though.
