EndZoneCrew Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Hopefully Kelsay will follow later on today. To be filled by more white "High Motor" DE's!
Kingfish Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Jason Brown? Chris Kemoeatu? Stacy Andrews? Lets decode this move...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Now since they cut him how does this effect the cap number? I know in real dollars it helps. Which at then end of the day is all that Mr Wilson cares about. He still counts against the cap space right? But the Bills were under the cap now by some 20+ million. How does that adjust? And now the Bills dont pay him this year. So they have more money to spend on a FA. Right? Oh and the chest pain remark was funny but so wrong.
BuffaloBill Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 That's shocking! nuff said .... this is a stunner
stuckincincy Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 thats the only thing i can think of they must be freeing up a LOT of cash for a reason. They were well under the cap so i dont see this as a money issue. Now they have truckloads of money under.... are they planning something big? Obama & Co. are eliminating the zero Estate Tax for 2010. Ralph will live!
Kenwick Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-5-120...off-roster.html Cutting Dockery is really big news Bills hopefully have some big plans in mind or have his replacement all set to sign on Friday AM... Wilson wants a better offense. Maybe we are about to see a change in attitude and responsibility making this a much better club. I like the move for Dockery was a drag on the offensive line and in the salary dept. He never produced the way he should have for the salary he made. I do not know how this is going to affect the salary cap however. That info. still is to come. But I like the move so far. Let's see who they have in mind for his replacement..........
Fan in Chicago Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-5-120...off-roster.html Thanx, Tim. Now we have yet another hole to fill on the OL. I really hope this is a 'save for big signings' and not a 'save money just for kicks' kind of cut.
Steely Dan Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks a lot Tim. How's your daughter? I'm not sure this was a sal cap move to free up money as much as it was a cut because he wasn't performing to the level of his contract. If the Bills sign a FA center then they can move DP to the guard spot at the worst and he's been decent there before. I also wonder if they plan on moving Demetrius Bell into that guard spot. He was drafted as a T but might be moving.
KOKBILLS Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 To be perfectly honest I thought this SHOULD happen midway through last Season...But I never expected The Bills to actually do it... Surprised? A little...Shocked would be if Kelsey was next...I'm actually starting to see a crack of light at the end of the tunnel...This is the 1st proof I needed that the Bills mean business in 09...
Justice Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Why not? They now have another big hole to fill on the line. They must be going after someone. Spare me the usual comments please. They are old. What? You mean old like 9 years no playoffs old? Because our FO makes all the right moves and I'm just being an A-Hole?
BillsVet Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Wow. I'll get flamed for saying it, but here goes: Another Levy era move which didn't pan out. The shine on 06-07 is wearing thin.
Paup 1995MVP Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Dockery sucked. He underperformed from day 1. This is an excellent start to free agency. You have to get rid of the dead wood before moving forward. The next few days of free agency are going to be very interesting as to how this team is going to look. Does anyone have a list of all the interior lineman who are going to be free agents come tonite? Please post it. Also, does anyone think that cutting Dockery freeing up more money means a new extension for Jason Peters is imminent? Just a thought to throw out there.
Stussy109 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 WHo do we play at guard? Duke Preston assuming we sign the C from the Ravens.
Magox Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 What a big surprising move. At least for me it is. No doubt he hasn't lived up to his contract. Two questions. Who will replace him? How much will that save us on our cap figure? I hope this is a move to go after Jason Brown
H2o Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Finally, some justice. Wonder who we're going after?
nucci Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Now since they cut him how does this effect the cap number? I know in real dollars it helps.

And now the Bills dont pay him this year. So they have more money to spend on a FA. Right?Oh and the chest pain remark was funny but so wrong. If all Wilson cared about was money, I doubt they would have cut him. How about the fact that MAYBE he was cut because he was not that good and they are trying to improve the team?
Brandon Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I guess I'm not surprised. In the last half of the year, the Bills running game was working well. I realize that he was overpaid, but it seems they can always find some way to f*** up what works well. And we all saw how well this OL played in the middle of the season when Butler went down; the reserve guards on the roster are just outstanding. Now, we have two gaping holes in our OL, not just one. Joy.
SuperKillerRobots Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 thats the only thing i can think of they must be freeing up a LOT of cash for a reason. They were well under the cap so i dont see this as a money issue. Now they have truckloads of money under.... are they planning something big? You'd have to think that a release like this signals that the Bills will be major players in FA or trade. This has to be freeing up money for something. The only other thing could be that Peters finally got his new contract at the expense of the guy who came here to play next to him!
