OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) .....so Bob Vila, how do you propose to cut him and absorb the $7.5 million cap hit?.....better put that saw away.......convert 6 mil to a signing bonus with $750k salaries for 2017 and 2018....so you'd be paying him $3.75 mil in 2017, and in Groy at $2.5 mil and you have $6.25 mil tied up in C spot for TWO players.....you could cut Eric in 2018 and absorb the cap hit of $3.75 mil much easier or keep him around as a backup with Groy as your $2.5 mil starter, IF my math is correct..........

John from Riverside Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 So they give Jordan "The Turnstile" Mills a 2 year $4 mil deal but would not even offer Groy $800k???? I do not get it at all Groy played well and is so versatile. Solid add for Anthony Lynn, I wish him nothing but the best! Do we have a right OT (forget even a good one) on the roster? Not much choice there with Mills No....we do in fact still have Wood
Patrick Duffy Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Ah man. Not happy about that too much. Really wanted to keep him around. Ah well, it happens. Thought he showed some good things coming in when Wood went down. Sucks, that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes I guess.

John from Riverside Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Wtf they didn't lose him. Not yet Its not cost prohibitive to keep him....I think whether they match the sheet will say a lot on how good they think he can be
Saxum Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 I think offer is based on market for OL going crazy and agree with this part of ESPN article. 1. The offensive line market went nuts http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18892279/behind-numbers-really-got-best-2017-nfl-free-agent-deals

BillsfaninMyrtleBeach Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Cut Wood, save money. Wood has two bad wheels. Groy could be a long term player. Don't get me wrong, love Wood but after all it is a business.
WGBillsFan Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 If the coaches think Groy is the future, then you match the offer, if not then let him walk....we will know in 5 days or less what they think of Groy.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 @mikerodak: The Rams have agreed to extend Bills restricted FA center Ryan Groy a two-year offer sheet, per @caplannfl & me. Bills have 5 days to match @mikerodak: Ryan Groy would reunite with Aaron Kromer with Rams and likely start at center. Expect $$ from Rams offer to match that situation. Sounds like they'll have to choose between him or Eric Wood. And i'm sure they'll keep Wood. But it's definitely worth a discussion. It's probably too steep to keep them both if the Rams offer is starting Center money. Whaley

Don't get me wrong, love Wood but after all it is a business. Wtf are the Bills saving money for? For finding a Center when Groy goes down after you let go of Wood?

26CornerBlitz Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 @SalSports Thinking about the Groy situation. Everyone mentions Wood entering final year of deal, but Richie's cap hit goes from 4.9M to 7.5M next year So, there are multiple reasons to think hard about matching it. Bills should.
YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 This could impact whether they match Groy. This guy started at center for Castillo in Baltimore @profootballtalk Report: Ravens releasing Jeremy Zuttah http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/03/15/report-ravens-releasing-jeremy-zuttah/

This guy started at center for Castillo in Baltimore @profootballtalk Report: Ravens releasing Jeremy Zuttah http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/03/15/report-ravens-releasing-jeremy-zuttah/ Zuttah can also play the guard spots, but is 30 y/o as well. He was making slightly over $4.1 million a year, Baltimore cut him to save $2.4 million.
