Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 15 Posted March 15 10 hours ago, Aussie Joe said: They still got a number of guys back … and may not be finished yet re-signing people Obviously this is the tightest year for Beane to date…and most of the other teams got a late “windfall “ with the increased cap…so there is more money to throw around this year … Maybe previously loyal guys that have been here a while like Dodson and Jackson get given a “ depth” number that could be a fallback if they don’t get another gig… but both of them got starter money elsewhere … Maybe Neal just got more money from Miami.. No doubt one year only guys like Sherfield and Poona Ford only get “good luck “ on their way out the door … All true. Seems like they brought back more of the guys with expired contracts more quickly too than in prior years. Makes me wonder if Beane had more a hard list this year. These are the guys we want, and told the others more straight up, you're not in our plans so they quickly moved on?? The one name out there that fits priors years mold is Hyde. Does make me wonder a bit if either he told his agent not to shop him as is leaning towards retiring or did the Bills give him a number and he's looking around to see if he can do better elsewhere, if not will be back? That was more typical of how things went in prior years, a couple weeks after FA started, the player came back and signed. 1 Quote

ColoradoBills Posted March 15 Posted March 15 1 hour ago, MarkyMannn said: I know this was explained but I forget. What's the point of a 6/1 release for White versus 2 weeks ago when it was announced When you cut a player like White who has multiple years left on his contract.......... Cutting before June 1st means all the dead cap from all the remaining years is applied to this season. Cutting after June 1st means only this year's dead cap is applied, and the rest goes on to next year's dead cap. Boils down to Beane having some more money for this year. 1 Quote

I need to panic 4 hours ago, MarkyMannn said: I know this was explained but I forget.

He most likely will be auditioning for his next team and new contract in 2025. Holy crap he spent four seconds tweeting. At least he still has pants. Quote

Its a big chunk of change, but he is a good player and the anchor on the OL. Let’s hope his health and level of production stay steady. At almost 30 with another 4 years pretty much invested in him, he’s out guy. I think he’s earned it but was just taken aback a bit by the cap hit distribution. actually on further review it looks like they could get out of it after 2026 relatively cheap. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/dion-dawkins-21805/ 1 Quote
jahnyc Posted March 16 Posted March 16 I think the Bills will regret not doing a full restructure of Josh's contract. Not sure who made that decision or whether it was due to owner implemented spending constraints, but we are going to need that flexibility. 2 Quote
