FireChans Posted March 6 Posted March 6 (edited) Thank god. He knew he was cooked if he didn’t take less. I know folks say cutting him was impossible, but players don’t take pay cuts unless they are on the block. Edited March 6 by FireChans 2 4 5 Quote

For now, it's a pay cut, but with the opportunity to make it all back plus some. 1 2 Quote

GunnerBill Posted March 6 Posted March 6 If that is as reported it is a proper pay cut. What I mean by that is it isn't a restructure and it isn't swapping non-guaranteed money for a smaller amount of guaranteed money. Von's $17.5m salary this year was FULLY guaranteed. He is taking a near $9m pay cut (who knows what the incentives are). That is significant. 12 5 7 5 Quote
Chandler#81 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Wet Dream come true. I honestly didn’t think that one-legged windbag would even consider this. Go Bills! 2 13 1 1 Quote
BuffAlone Posted March 6 Posted March 6 I just wonder when Josh's restructure is announced. Might be in play for FA or two after all. 1 1 Quote

He is leaving what was previously guaranteed money on the table (albeit with a chance to earn some back). 2 1 Quote

Super interesting, but I bet those "hard to reach incentives" were attainable in Von's eyes, which is why he agreed to it. 3 1 Quote
beebe Posted March 6 Posted March 6 If he has a huge season and earns the max amount of incentives (the 20 mill figure), the earn via incentives get applied to 2025 salary cap unless i'm mistaken. 2 Quote

We were always going to be in play in FA. We were always going to get under the cap and make some moves. I still wouldn't expect anything big ticket at any position though. 1 1 Quote
Bruffalo Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Just shows how good Beane is. Top 5 GM in the league. If Von plays like he was originally supposed to, he gets a bag. Perfect scenario for both sides. 6 6 Quote
