WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I mean, he was a very able edge setter vs the run. For the Pats it might be a smart pickup. But on long term, we need our picks to take over Quote

But on long term, we need our picks to take over Bring him in now so we have him for depth in the playoffs, but more importantly, for next year. I'm expecting this is the last year for Hughes and Addison. That leaves us with basically ONLY our picks left. Epenesa, Rousseau, and Basham. Shaq would be a good young-ish vet to round out that group. Could pair them as Rousseau/Shaq and Epenesa/Basham, so we have a pass rusher as well as a run stopper on the field at the same time. Or mix and match depending on the situation. Quote

He's as good as gone. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/mario-addison-8871/ 2022 year automatically voids 23 days before the 2022 league year ($2M dead cap) I interpret that as he’s getting 2 million regardless if his contract voids… if they opt not to void it, it wouldn’t it be 1 year 2 million? IF Bills can add 1 more year for 1 million plus his 2 million that’s guaranteed, adding him for 3 million for 5-7 sacks again might be worth it. Quote

He signed a 3yr/$30M contract. If we don't void his contract, he is set to make $10M. Or we can "let it void" (aka fix the glitch, aka cut him) and have a dead cap hit of $2M. He isnt signing/playing for only $2M. If he comes back, it will be at a number closer to his $10M price. 1 Quote

No. It's not just a team option. He already got paid the money and will become an UFA to start the year. These type of "void years" are just a financial tool used by teams. https://www.hogshaven.com/2021/4/12/22379019/how-do-voidable-year-contracts-work-and-why-has-the-nfl-embraced-them-this-year Quote from article: So, what are voidable years? A voidable year is an ‘extra’ year on the length of the contract that the team and the player intend to void. In other words, it is a “dummy” year on the contract that the player will never play or get paid for, and it exists for the sole purpose of lowering the annual cap hit, especially in the first year of the contract. As mentioned above, this type of contract is nothing new, though most teams use them sparingly, if at all. Quote

Yeah, man, contract stuff gets real convoluted, real quick. Especially when we're just trying to go off of sites like Spotrac and not the real contract. Quote
BuffaloRebound Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I’d sign him. He’s familiar with frazier’s defense, and Belichik already signaled how he’s gonna play last time they were up here. Lawson could be useful against Titans too if we meet up with them again. Epenesa is a liability against run heavy teams. Groot is susceptible too. 1 Quote
SydneyBillsFan Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I wouldn't hesitate to get him back on a playoff contract. Quote
CorkScrewHill Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Put him on the PS .. nice COVID / injury insurance. We still have 4 games to get through 2 Quote
