His ‘Teams play took a dive last year, didn’t it? 
 

He also offers nothing on Defense

Expand  

Oddly enough, while I thought he looked terrible at time on ST I thought he actually played passably whenever he was in on defense. 

[Sweats]

Honestly, i'm actually surprised he even made it this long.

considering how bad our special teams was last year maybe it a good thing we cut him. 

[ngbills]

No brainer. Nothing to see here. 

[LEBills]

These were the easy decisions. Tre and his 6 million savings will be next, Harty and his 4.1 million savings too, maybe Morse and his 8.5 million worth of savings or a Taron and/or Dion extension too

he would have made a difference had he been playing the entire time against Kelce. he came in and it changed the matchup. but it was too late.

I hate to say it but I don't want Taron extended. He was not great much of the first half of the season and think the older he gets the less time he'll see on the field and result in over paying him.

Agreed but I think the Bills will want to keep him around rather than release him for the $7+ million cap savings. He did play better the second half of the year so it’s one of there better options if they need more space. 

[BBFL]

That’s crazy that cutting ties to our All-Pro starting safety Poyer saves the same amount of $ as cutting a core ST’er.

I can't honestly think of a special teams play he made this past season

[Iraq Vet]

I love this.... Poyer gone, Neal gone, Hines gone, Hyde gone... don't drag it out. Rip the band aid off!!!!  Clean up the cap now.  We are old and slow in safeties.   This does not mean these guys are not in our hearts forever... but we need to get aggressive to clean up the cap.... Constant restructure and extensions will have to come due eventually. 

 

Sorry, but we have ton of draft pics and we were quite old.  Kelly, Thomas, Reed and Smith (among others) were all getting old and expensive so over 2 years we got rid of them all.  We have been through this before... except Josh is still here with a top flight TE, WR, RB, 2 LBs and a solid OL.... all in or near their prime....  and Josh is not Todd Collins.  

[mushypeaches]

You just can't have a ST'er making that much $ knowing that they offer nothing in terms of depth to the team.  

 

Yes, it's nice to have those guys but they become a luxury when you have to start paying your star QB

 

Tyler Matakevich can wave goodbye too

It's a double edged sword with him. Personally as great as he been, he's not the true big nickel this defense needs.

Taron and Neil came in together, same draft.   

This might be heresy, but I felt Taron was losing a step last year.  He was beat quite often, I don't want to prolong his contract.

You mean 2nd team all pro Taron Johnson??? Really?

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

There was much rejoicing
