That's what an ass kicking from the team that is in the way of a Super Bowl will do to you. That has to be the focus of the team: Defeating the Chiefs.

Sigh. I'm so impatient.
TN Bills Fan Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 We better find somebody who can cover a TE. They killed us all year. Disproportional amount of money spent in the secondary. Get a pick for him.
GreggTX Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I like Milano, but there's no way I'd cut Hyde to keep him. Hyde is much better. If we need $, let's dump Lotulelei and Addison who are grossly overpaid. Edited January 25, 2021 by GreggTX
ghostwriter Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I don’t think he’s an All Pro, I don’t think he’s a liability. If he truly is making $5M, why not keep him?
Aussie Joe Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I think he was a little off this year but can you replace him for better than $5.1M ? I think Hyde plays out his contract and they try to find his successor in the draft...

I just started thinking....is he a possibility for a cap casualty? We save $5.1 million if we were to cut him. I'm not suggesting we cut him but I'm thinking he could be overlooked as one of the shockers...we are going to lose a good player or two. If cutting him means we would have more cash to resign lets say Milano...would you do it? No. Micah is a very good player and he’s an unofficial Captain of the defense. Milano is good but dammit once again in a losing playoff game he’s almost making plays instead of making them. it is annoying they do not appear to have knocked any of their high defensive picks out of the park since 27.

I would take that 2nd and draft his replacement but that’s probably what the team thinking about trading for Brown does when they come to their senses.. Edited January 25, 2021 by Aussie Joe

If cutting him means we would have more cash to resign lets say Milano...would you do it? The team is going to have to make some hard choices. That said, if our goal is to get better, I have a general pet peeve talking about "We save $X.X million if we were to cut him". Typically even if we draft someone or we think his backup, Jaquon Johnson, can do the job (Johnson played the end of the NE game and half the MIA game), we would want to hedge our bets with a FA. So then we're still paying $1.6M towards Hyde, and we gotta pay whatever the FA commands on the market. 1 hour ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: I still say Josh Norman would be a great #3 Safety. Right, so if your goal is to save money by cutting Hyde and his $5.1M salary, worth noting that Norman's cap hit was $5.9M this year.

The drop-off is likely to be steep unless they get a stud in the first round. I don't want to spend a first or second round pick on a safety. Keep him. 1 hour ago, The Jokeman said: A starting safety at $5 million is good value. I say keep him. Agreed. I would like them to draft a 'big nickel' at some point though. They get eaten alive by TEs every year. I really wanted Jeremy Chinn in last year's draft.

Correct, I just dislike the "We can save $X.XM by cutting this that and the other guy" without careful thought as to where their replacement will come from. 1

billsfan89 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I think they run back Hyde and Poyer. I think they will draft a safety for depth and to get younger behind them but I think McD like those guys and wants them back for one more year so that he can prepare younger guys behind them. I see the following players as candidates for restructuring or cuts. 1- Vernon Butler 2- Quinton Jefferson 3- Mario Addision 4- Jerry Hughes 5- Mitch 6- John Brown 7- Lee Smith I think Smith and either Butler or Jefferson are outright cut, that should free up about 10 million in space. The rest will be asked to restructure or be cut which depending on how much they are willing to give will result in 10-20 million in space. I really hope they set the cap at 205 million. That would give the Bills 30 million to start with and then they could free up 20-25 million with these cuts and restructurings which would give the Bills a chance to retain all or most of their key free agents.

I am not a cap specialist at all but when will we know what the cap will be set at for next year?

I have no idea. 175 is the minimum which if the cap is 175 the Bills will only be about 2.5 million under. 1
