Virgil Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Dumb question. Can Poyer be signed as a post June signing? Does it matter if you resign with your own team? Quote
Locomark Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Notice there are already 3 safeties signed and not one of them is named Poyer? Notice Po is now being told he is only worth 11 which is what Buffalo told him and he is begging for 3-4 more in incentives. Now he is just begging for term and/or incentives because if he signs for the same thing the Bills paid him he just looks like a bad guy for leaving town for the same money he just made. No one will be paying him his 14-15 million. He is learning the lesson honey badger learned last year and Beane told him so last year. His wife just needed to learn the same lesson. She’s behind the drama. 1 Quote

He’s a UFA. He can sign with any team, to include the Bills, at anytime. Tomorrow, next week, June, week 9, it doesn’t matter. Edited March 15, 2023 by Beast Quote

Post-June 1 only applies to a player who is cut (I learnt yesterday it can't be applied to the accelerated dead cap resulting from a trade. In any event, it most certainly doesn't apply to signing a player; the rule is, you got to have the cap available before the deal goes through. 1 Quote

The “post-June” designation applies to cutting a player so you can spread the dead cap hit over two seasons for cap purposes. If you want to resign Poyer and want the cap flexibility this year you would just write the contract that way. 1 Quote

Tomorrow, next week, June, week 9, it doesn’t matter. Um, this is the "legal tampering period". Technically, Poyer is still under contract to the Bills (last year's contract) until the new league year starts Weds. So no, he's not a UFA - yet - and he can't sign with any team other than the Bills until the new league year starts later this week (he can agree in principle to a contract, but not sign one) Quote

I know that and I knew somebody was going to bring that up but even before that gig I felt like he just completely distanced himself from that Sabres era, and Briere is currently doing GM work for Philly but he also records video snippets when there are the big events like RJ night or Ryan Miller night. It's just weird to me you never hear anything from Drury as he was such a big part of those teams. 1 Quote

Post-june will usually be used for players that have guarantees on base salary. If you trade someone, they pay the salary 🙂 11 hours ago, Virgil said: I thought it also contributed to comp picks Comp picks only apply if a players contract ends. If you cut them, they don't factor into the formula. Quote

So, couldn't he be a comp pick then? Quote

Potentially, if we end up with fewer qualifying adds than subtractions. So far i'd assume we are at 1 and 1 with edmunds and McGovern. Potential adds to the formula: Poyer Singletary and the long shots of Phillips, Lawson, Crowder. Quote
