Star released. Pre-6/1 per Joe B, $1.5M cap savings.

We are getting really low on whipping boys. Bease and Star gone. Knox improved. It’s down to edmunds and ford catching all the hands. 

No worries.   It's TSW superpower to find someone to tar and feather.   That won't be ANY problem going forward.

I'd imagine we know which one it will be.

Depends if they want the immediate 1.5 now or wait until June for the 4

Best part about this is not having to listen to the same posters on here dramatically whine about him to no end over and over again.  Like Groundhog Day around here with some of these people.  

I never had a problem with Star, but I felt McDermott had him as the centerpiece of his defense and when Star didn’t play or played hurt, it impacted the play of the front 7.

Waiting to see.  I would expect the Post June 1 designation

 

I would expect "Pre".  I think the Bills have been kicking enough cans down the road; bear in mind they roll $2.6M cap hit into next season with the post-June 1, and they don't get cap space to work with now if they designate him "Post".

 

But we'll see.

That’s honestly the hallmark of a mediocre player. Only the lunatic fringe ***** about Josh or Diggs, if half the board hates you, you probably aren’t good.

Or half the board doesn’t understand his role.  Like half the board hates Edmunds because they don’t understand what they truly hate is how we use him.  There are areas he can get better but he isn’t remotely close to as bad as half the board thinks he is.

 

So that not a good barometer because I can’t tell you more than half the board is wrong about most things as with any fan base.  #WrongJosh

I wonder if they’ll eat it all this year if they can’t get another FA they really like to fit them. I wonder when they actually have to designate tbh e June 1st “tag”

Pretty sure they can navigate the cap and designate it a post June 1 cut.

when it comes to whipping posts, someone will rise up and meat the need

Star never lived up to the contract he received. He barely showed up 1/2 the time IMO. The last straw was taking a year off for covid concerns, then not getting vaccinated and missing games due to covid

I agree with that last completely.  When you count on a guy and build a roster expecting him to be there, it's an impact when he bails.

At the point where the paperwork for the cut is filed with the NFL, is my understanding.

We missed him when he opted out, but then it never really felt like he came back.

Wrong Josh was before they played though. Go down the list of folks the board crapped on that played for the Bills for 3-4 years? Kelsay, Spiller, Whitner, Duke Williams, Fitz etc etc. List goes on and on.

I have full faith people will find something to whine about. Where is todays poll?

Farewell Star Lotulelei, and we thank you.

[BullBuchanan]

I don't really understand the nuance of why, but I had heard we'd recoup something like $6.5M had we traded him. I think it's interesting that we didn't sell him to a team with a ton of cap.
