Mitch Morse restructured contract - Increase in pay, but 2022 cap number decreases by $2 Million

[NewEra]

I have a feeling we’re finally going to see more screens this year 😃

Will be interesting to see what the new contract looks like

In the back of my mind I was still worried about Morse retiring. This is excellent news. One less potential hole to worry about.

[Magox]

Yes, he has a "pay raise", most likely in the form of a bonus that will be spread out over the remainder of the cap and probably his Salary will probably be converted into a bonus to be spread out as well.  Probably a cap savings of around $3-$4 million for this year.

 

This actually appears to be a pretty good value signing, if he is able to maintain his play which is above average on pass protection and average for run blocking, it's a good deal for the Bills.

Cut our starting center? He's a good player.

Weird right? Because that never happens…. 🙄

[Coach Tuesday]

Wow that's a big contract for a center.

It would be an idiotic move. Glad you aren't in charge.

We now have Dion LT Dion Dawkins, RT Spencer Brown and now Mitch Morse locked up for at least 3 years, that's a solid group right there imo.

Ummmmm, so what's the benefit for the Bills?

Their superstar QB doesnt have to deal with a new center.

Me too. I’m sure it’s stressful as *****. I’m sure you be amazing at it though 🙄

Morse is a great fit for us if we are indeed going to be using a more zone blocking scheme under Kromer, and why Williams was not.

I wonder if it's a new deal format or extension.  If the first, then they would have reduced his cap number by 3-4 mil.

[Steptide]

Love it. He's one of our best on the o line. Needed him back
