We basically kept him on board until he could play again and have now allowed him to find another team. 40 minutes ago, jkeerie said: I believe this frees up some cap space...not a great deal but a bit over 700K. 40 minutes ago, Motorin' said: I don't think Smith was counted against the roster. So not sure if would free up a space. 39 minutes ago, WMDman said: I bet he ends up on the PS at some point His ban was for 6 games and after playing the 6th game we had to decide what to do with him before activating him. His release does not free up a roster spot as suspended players do not count on the roster. It does prevent us from having to make a move to activate him though. I do not believe it saves us any money as a suspended player collects no salary and therefore has no cost against the cap. His release at this point does allow us to keep the 2 cheaper rookies than having to activate him and then include his salary over whomever you cut. I agree - I think they let him go looking and if he wants to come back - there may be a spot on the PS, but they do have the LB position fairly covered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 59 minutes ago, Jerry Jabber said: Making a spot for Tre White? He wasn't counted on the roster, so no. Effectively they chose to keep what they already have versus activating him and releasing someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his salary for the entire season is 690,000. Pro-rated for the remaining 11 games saves about 450,000. Maybe they sign him to the practice squad.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I feel bad for her Smith failed a test last November. He said he has no idea why or what caused his estrogen level to rise beyond the allowed limits. Can you imagine the fun this board would have with this news if it were Brady! Thread would go beyond 100 pages. Have to say, not sure I see where the competitive advantage is to the player on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how we rationalize on this board.Ehh, bit of $ on cap space only $700K. Dang would I like to call $700K a bit of money 🤑 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally guessing here but the higher estrogen levels may indicate the use of some other substance that doesn’t necessarily show up on tests. Like an indicator or precursor? 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have some signing bonus dead cap. The savings should be just above $700k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Big mistake cutting Smith. The guy payed the price for his unfortunate mistake. The Bills kept him on ice for 6 weeks then abruptly decided to offload him. He’s a valuable contributor to our ST unit and doesn’t make much. This is a bad message to the other players, showing zero loyalty to a hard worker and a special teams ace with experience at LB. What’s the reason for doing this to Andre? Can’t we create a roster spot with someone who isn’t a leader on one of our units. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
