Exactly. He needed his salary to feed his family. These guys don't for the most part. Yeah but I don’t think there is a hard number though. Everyone has their price, their current bank account and what they are willing to put their family through or risk themselves. I'm not even sure the percentage of players with families at all. Median age is 24 or so.
C.Biscuit97 Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Me hearing this news. but I wish him well. Congrats on stealing a lot of money to average 18 tackles a year. Edited July 28, 2020 by C.Biscuit97 2

That should be very good. If all perform as expected it may be Star Who(?). Or if Oliver has a breakout year, A Star is Born. ...and then we get to welcome Star and his trash contract back the next year.... I actually love that 4 man rotation, but Star moving his contract down the road a year is frustrating.

I am sure he will see some time at DT.

He has $7M in fully guaranteed salary in his next two seasons. His whole $4.5M salary in 2020 (or 2021 with opt out) and and $2.5M of his following year’s salary are guaranteed. Unless he is a total liability then there is really no way he won’t play at least one more season. Unless the Bills trade him that is.

Well, McD had stated that Epenesa will only play DE this season to avoid throwing too much at him.

I’ve liked what Beane has done overall, but that was worthy of firing a GM over. 1

I hope so... if we can roll over his cap space into next year, then no harm no foul. I think, as currently constructed, we have a Championship caliber team. No need to use his cap space on what will be a bizarre year anyway if we can roll it over and avoid Star’s opt-out creating any kind of cap headache.

The reworked one made it better but the original was an absolutely horrible contract for the Bills. Again, it’s not what we’ve typically seen from Beane but he screwed the pooch on that one.

GunnerBill Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 It wasn't fireable but it was a bad contract for an average player.
kota Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 I haven't read any of the responses but i seriously hope people aren't be negative about this decision. It doesn't matter how well you think he played, or if he would have been cut or not. You don't know this guys medical history or his families medical history. Maybe he has someone who is close that has pre-existing conditions that he is concerned about as he should. Football fields and sidelines is just a pool of bacteria. Show a little respect during these difficult times.

The chat has focussed on what it means for the Bills both in terms of 2020 roster construction and future cap hits.

John from Riverside Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 One thing is for sure......Harrison Phillips just became much more important. My question is.....does Vincent Taylor now make the team? We need run stop......I actually thought Vincent Taylor played well 3
