Morse Released

[Einstein]

Feels like we have a lot of holes between WR, Center, DB's.

[NeverOutNick]

Edwards and Alec Anderson must've shown enough for Beane and company to feel confident on the youth movement. Love Morse but I understand completely. 

[HappyDays]

This is my dream offseason. Out with the old, in with the new. This was the only way to stop the salary cap bleeding.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

WOW!!! 
 

After the Bates trade I did NOT see that happening

Edwards in line to start with McGovern to C. Makes that Edwards contract a HUGE value at the moment.

BBB playing 3D chess here. I like it ... the more I think about it, the more I like it.

[Roundybout]

Ok it’s officially a soft reboot. Excellent!!

[Iraq Vet]

I love this.... We were getting old and slow.... Poyer gone, Neal gone, Hines gone, Hyde gone, Morris gone... don't drag it out. Rip the band aid off NOW!!!!  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.    This is going to be painful, maybe only 10 wins this year... but worth it!  Because in 2025 we can reload completely.  You cant keep playing the cap game.... you have to get younger and faster.... 

[KOKBILLS]

Wow!!! This is nuts... But I'm REALLY excited about all these moves... I think it was time...

[BillsPride12]

That Boogie Basham pick keeps looking worse and worse lol

[Beast]

Yay for Von Miller!

 

 

[Blank Stare]

Now this I don’t love. 

[CheshireCT]

Very honestly, I'm surprised that Morse has played as long as he has. Every time he got another concussion, I was just waiting for him to hang it up. 

 

Of course the team is better with him on it, but put this in the category of the Belichick method....better to get rid of a player a year too soon than a year too late. We need to clear cap space, and older veterans with large salaries are always your best candidates.

[Success]

In one day, we went from an aging team to pretty spritely.

 

[bills6969]

Painful.  Our Oline was finally good again.  Big hole to fill now

[CNYfan]

How much "cap" on this?

 

Those 11 draft picks will have a chance to make the roster.

Weren't some speculating Alec Anderson to C?

Most were saying he was the new 6th man. Then they signed Edwards. Edwards might be starting LG now.

Not a fan of this.

 

We will be taking a clear step back next season.

Same initial response.

 

Dang.

[No_Matter_What]

I loved Morse and he was great for Josh. Thanks for everything Mitch.

 

On the other hand, I absolutely love what Beane is doing last 3 days. It gives me hope that he is serious with getting younger and keeping cap situation as healthy as possible. This might mean he can manage this year without needing to touch Diggs' and Miller's contracts, which would be huge.

Possibly 

They said another reporter with a blue check reported it 

[MWK]

Edwards is a good guard. Who knows how McGovern will be at center?
