That’s Probably it though, I’d be shocked if Dawkins, Poyer, or White reworked their deals. If there are ways it could be done where it gives them the same money (as is implied) and they help the team, I don't get why they wouldn't rework their deals.
thenorthremembers Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 I think you still have to look at Addison, Klein and Star.

Hughes and Addison were productive last year, but lack of DT quality hurt their sack numbers. Both guys can help the team if they took friendly pay cuts.
Brennan Huff Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Yes free agency is over. We must now prepare for the draft 1

And now he’s a year older.

That is a tool that would give us much more flexibility this year. I think that's fairly likely to happen. 1 hour ago, Big Turk said: That gives us what, about $20 million in cap space right now? $5-6 million to sign draft picks so about $15 million or so for whatever else Beane wants to do... Depends upon what Butler and Morse did, but just cutting Brown and Jefferson is said to have freed up about $14M 1
Matt_In_NH Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 No, this is just starters....depeinding on FA's they can sign there can be more for sure.

I have this sinking feeling he's safer than most fans think he is. To me, it would be far less surprising for him to stick around then it was when we held on to Trent Murphy. And I don't think they'd move him until they were sure they had an upgrade in place opposite Hughes. Edited March 10, 2021 by BillsFanForever19

He’s not worth the money and was a terrible signing. And now he’s a year older. Well... part of the problem (i think) is that our IDL could not get any penetration to force the QB out of the pocket. What good is it if our edge rushers beat their man but the QB can simply step up into the pocket and step into his throw? Pressure is a concerted effort amongst the entire DL. Pressure inside is vital to any DE’s success.. Even if you don’t get 20 sacks like Donald or Jones, you still need disrupters there, even if it doesn’t show on the stat sheet. DT can be a thankless job but absolutely vital in terms of stopping elite QBs like Brady or Mahomes. Need a stud DT as much as we need a stud DE.

Klein becomes a starter with Milano gone. He can be effective if used properly. Something they didn't do until late in the season.
Back2Buff Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 I will be extremely disappointed if players who are obviously going to be here for the next 4-5 years, aren't restructured to free up space this year. The Bills need to capitalize on this last year of cheap Allen.
billsfan89 Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 No, this isn't it. Lee Smith is an easy cut or he might retire, either way that's 2.25 million saved. I also think Jerry Hughes will rework his deal to save some money I could see the Bills getting an additional 2-3 million from Hughes deal. I also think they have to ask about Addision either reworking his deal or getting cut. I also think they will be retooling the Dawkins, Diggs, White and Poyer contracts to save money. None of those guys are taking a pay cut but this team can convert base salary into signing bonuses and free up a lot of cap space.
