jahnyc Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 I am surprised that there has not been more information coming out about restructurings of current contracts with certain players (i.e., Morse, Dawkins, etc.), cuts or salary reductions (Beasley, Williams, others as possibilities), extensions (i.e. Diggs) or even tenders to restricted free agents (i.e,. Bates). Maybe there haven't been any restructures other than the ones reported so far, but that would be odd to me given the rumors of the Bills' interest in a number of free agents and associated need for cap room. Same with possible cuts. I thought the Bills would extend Diggs to get more cap space, but Beane said there have not been conversations about this. I would understand the hesitancy to restructure White's contract given his injury, but there are a number of other contracts that could be restructured freeing up cap space. Will be interesting to see if there have been restructures or reductions in salary that have not been reported yet. There also were a lot of rumors that Morse was going to retire. I assume that he would have decided by now if he was going to do so. As for additional cuts, I would have thought the Bills would make them before the start of free agency to give the players the best opportunity to find employment with another team. 1 1 Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 They're waiting for tampering period to see how much they need. 7 4 Quote
CNY315 Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 This has generally been a pretty tight lipped regime. I'm sure they just don't have their feet up watching Euphoria 2 1 Quote
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 I think Daryl Williams should take a paycut if he's playing guard. He did not play anywhere near the same level as his first year in Buffalo. 1 1 Quote
klos63 Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 They won't do a restructure until they actually need to the money. If they don't sign anyone, wouldn't be wise to restructure. 6 3 1 Quote

DCofNC Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 I figured we would see more, but I tend to think it’s going to be more action around the opening bell. If they can get Wagner, Jones, etc to commit they will trade Edmunds, cut Beasley, and restructure as needed. 1 1 Quote

I’m no brain scientist, but maybe you’re forming your stupid assumptions based on bad information. League year starts in earnest tomorrow with the tampering period. Wait and see please. 1 1 Quote

Where have you seen the Bills linked to Wagner outside some on this board constantly daydreaming? I haven’t seen any legit speculation about Wagner. 1 Quote
eee1776 Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Did I hear right that Steve Tasker said Matt Milano was released on The Cris and Steve show? The look on Cris Browns face is like that news is not out yet. 1 1 Quote

Turbo44 Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 You can go over the cap with signings as long as your cap compliant at the beginning of the nfl year 1 Quote
Mat68 Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Beane doesn’t like restructuring. I think for the piece he will do it. Id expect a deal being agreed to and Buffalo makes moves to make it work. NFL is an arms race. To win it all Buffalo needs to do more than running it back. Gotta improve. Running game, run defense and corner need improving imo. Im curious to see what happens. Quote
