  • Draconator changed the title to Nyhiem Hines Restructures - Takes a pay cut to stay in Buffalo.

Makes a lot of sense. Happy to have him as a return specialist, and backup plan (as 3rd down back if something were to happen to Cook).

Glad he’s back, he was criminally underused.

 

the most head scratching aspect of the entire year was the major emphasis on finding multiple pass catching backs, only to never use them.

yeah head scratching for sure. draft a guy like Cook and Shakir and barely use them to catch passes SMH

Beane is a wizard in getting players to take pay cuts but then guaranteeing the lower contract. Win-win for both Bills and players. Just did the same thing with Tim Settle to save another 600K.

Was hoping for something like this. Really wanted Hines to stay, but not at the contract he had. Very fair way to handle it.

didn't see this any where but Settle helped out with the cap as well.

 

Buffalo Bills, defensive tackle Tim Settle agree to renegotiated contract

Only so many snaps. Who do you take off the field?

Would argue our best special teams returner since a young Eric Moulds in addition to being a pretty darn good third down back 

I think with an off-season he will show up more in the offense as well

Recall reading that one of the issues they had was right after they traded for Hines, Allan got hurt, then the blizzard.  So left few if any practices for Allen to work with Hines to get on same page.  Seem to recall reading that by later Nov or so the two of them had only 3 or 4 practices together so was hard to be on same page.

You forgot about Terrance McGee on Kickoffs.  And Leodis McKelvin on punts.

Not the point.  Bills went after McKissic, signed Duke Williams, drafted Cook, traded for Hines.  There was clearly an emphasis to add this dimension to the offense.

 

had to be some sort of disconnect between the front office and coaching staff.
