truth on hold Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) id rather just rush 11, then have leodis back there, probably block a couple by seasons end, and redirect some too for shanks Edited November 24, 2015 by JTSP
BarleyNY Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) $2.8 dead cap hit. Maybe this off-season.Actually it's only $1M in dead money, which would be applied next season if he's cut anytime before next season or if the Bills decline to pay his roster bonus in the offseason. If that bonus is due before he can earn his offseason w/o bonus of $50k then I expect that's the route they'll go. If not, then I expect him to be cut before he can earn it. The overall cap savings for him being let go over the offseason would be $3.9M. I expect that the Bill will need that cap space more than him. I don't see them cutting him this season, but he makes a little less than $200k a game. They'd save that in addition. http://overthecap.com/player/leodis-mckelvin/1736/ Edited November 24, 2015 by BarleyNY
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 This staff doesn't have the same history that we have with him. He should never catch punts. Ever. Especially against New England! Tell me that his old fumble didnt cross his mind last night.... CBF
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Yeah he's a decent athlete and worth hanging around as corner depth... Watkins Hogan or woods for PR duty please.
Very wide right Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Are we judging a players entire career on one play now?I wonder if the Patriots are gonna get rid of Brady because of the interception.
KD in CA Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 STOP making new threads during a game. In fairness, by 11:30 we knew the game was over. I believe McKelvin is the last of the incredible run of horrible first round picks from the last decade. He should be the first one cut after the season.
Beerball Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Didn't we have a thread a few weeks back about Cockrell? People were all over the place talking about how another DB wouldn't matter, now we want to cut McKelvin too? Brilliant Bills fans, just brilliant.
Mr. WEO Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Don't cut him til after the season. Let him finish his one decent season career with the Bills.
zonabb Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 PLEASE!!!! He's the one player I've railed against and despise his entire time here. He has limited situational awareness, is prone to major mistakes, and has shown zero ability to improve on the mental aspects of the game. I've hoped the last three years to have him cut but he continues to come back and give us what we expect. First game back this year and he gets torched deep because he just can't turn back to the QB. He flat out sucks.
PromoTheRobot Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 McKelvin makes plays. Just get him off any duty where he receives punts or kickoffs. Same with Denarius Moore. He's a walking fumble machine too. I can't believe we cut Thigpen for him.
aristocrat Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 couldn't believe the fumble last night. Me and another guy almost at the same time said...remember when he fumbled ? and he fumbled
enlightener Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I thought, stupidly, maybe he'd get revenge for that 2009 game and take one to the house and win for US like he lost it for us the last mnf. Then he immediately fumbled.
Joeziehmer Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Leodis has been an underperforming bust and underwhelming flop. His corner play against elites is terrible and he has been pushed out of starting by Graham, Darby, Rambo, and Gilmore. Quite frankly in the clutch he is a third string rotational quarter prone to fumbling issues on special teams, much like EJ he is protected by Whaley Failey Gailey to continue on the historical emphasis of busts made by Nix and Whaley. Kept a draft paper on him reinventing the cornerback role. Only wish I had a second one to burn after that first fumble against New England. A pampered first round bust whose never going to be a team style guy.
billsfan_34 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Since returning he hasnt regained his form and looks slow out there. Couple that with fumbleitis and you may as well chop him. The goal is to re sign Gilmour.
apuszczalowski Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Ahhh, yes there it is, the cut (insert player) thread because of a mistake. .......then just replace him with a street FA who will be just as good, until he signs with another team and he does well.
Agent 91 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Don't be stupid. Its contagious... VERY contagious
filthymcnasty08 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 18 Pro Bowlers were choosen after McKelvin in the 2008 draft. Has never lived up to the 11th pick in the first round. Felton is one of them
machine gun kelly Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 He's good CB depth right now. But he shouldn't be fielding punts. Agreed Dorkington. The problem is everyone else on our team sucks as well at fielding punts. Too bad Harvin couldn't stay healthy.
apuszczalowski Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Feel better? well his crusade of calling McKelvin a moron and saying he should be cut immediately spans many posts so I'm assuming he's trying to make himself feel important and smart.....
