HOUSE Posted March 6 Posted March 6 I thought he deserved a raise for supplying the fans with guaranteed player signings Quote
Steptide Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Allen next is my guess. Beanes definitely back from vacay 😅 1 Quote
Your Brown Eye Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Broski does not want to see anymore of his friends get cut Quote
SydneyBillsFan Posted March 6 Posted March 6 A great move by Beane. However, I have to give Von some credit here. He was under no obligation to restructure or take a cut. Yet my gut feel is that he knows he has vacuumed up a substantial portion of our cap over the past two seasons with not much to show for it. I suspect this is is his way of making amends. I like it. 12 8 Quote

I know folks say cutting him was impossible, but players don’t take pay cuts unless they are on the block. Actually I think he legitimately thinks he can still play and this new deal gives him the opportunity to earn more than what he was scheduled to earn. Think about it folks... you can almost guarantee that 2 of the "hard to reach incentives" put in his contract are tackles and sacks. That means if he gets more tackles than 2023, he reaches that incentive and earns more. That wouldn't be hard considering he had 3 tackles If he gets more sacks than in 2023, he reaches that incentive and earns more. That wouldn't be hard considering he had 0 sacks. My bet is another incentive will be games played or active, and considering he started the season on PUP, that might not be hard for him, either. So yes, this is a solid for Buffalo, but he may legitimately believe he's about to earn more than he was scheduled... and all of that money goes on next year's CAP. 1 Quote

I am hoping Beane avoids restructuring Josh, which just kicks the problem down the road another season. That’s how Beane ended up where he is today. Quote

I would be interested in knowing what incentives are. 2024 will be an interesting year. Dark Brandon making moves that needed to be done. Go Bills. Quote
NoSaint Posted March 6 Posted March 6 11 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: 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. renegotiating a lower salary would be great and seems to be the case. the thread title should be changed as that’s not what a traditional restructure indicates Quote
