Bufcomments Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 First of all I would hate to lose Roscoe Parrish Best PR in the league (sorry Devin Hester) Give you a player that can take it to the house on any play teams kick away from him adding to possible field position. Coached by the Best Special Teams coach in the game thanks Bobby April, you will be coach by mid season hopefully But is he worth 4 million a year?? I wish i knew what the cap hit would be if we traded him ( somebody who knows please post it) But maybe this is to free up some money for Jason Peters If we have to lose Parrish in order to keep Jason Peters....well thats a tough one to swallow the thing that bothers me is if Jason gets his money will he continue to play at a high level You know what your getting in Roscoe your thoughts ??

BillsNYC Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 If only Donahoe would have spent that pick on a lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Trading Parrish isn't because they need the money/room to give it to Peters, its because they have too much of a log jam at WR now that they have T.O. for one year. I don't think its worth dealing away one of the best PR's in the league just to have T.O. for a year. By adding T.O., they really aren't that closer to the playoffs, and are not SB contenders this year. These are moves you make when you are on the verge of being a contender and are making one last big run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson ,Parrish top 4 right now What if somebody gets hurt? What bothers me is for the first time since Parrish has been here we have 2 top flight WRs I think that would leave him one on one in the slot on 3rd downs He is well worth the roster spot if he is used correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofton80 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I see no reason we would not have Josh Reed in the slot on third downs. $4M is too much to pay for a punt returner. Check out the Super Bowl winners/playoff teams and how their teams are constructed. That much cap room is too valuable to use on a part timer.

Bufcomments Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 thats the reason for the post maybe my headline should have been is 4 million too much for Parrish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 It's 2.5 mil this year, according to Mr. Clump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantankerous Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I read somewhere he's only making 1.025 mil this year and next...but maybe that was on his rookie contract...I don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 According to USA Today's database of player compensation, Parrish made $3.9 (almost 4) Million last year. Here's the breakdown: Year Team Base Salary Sign Bonus Other Bonus Total Salary Cap Value Position 2008 Bills $ 520,000 $ 1,100,000 $ 3,451,080 $ 3,971,080 $ 4,256,080 WR According to the NFLPA contract database, his salary increases from $520,000 last year, to $1,000,000, this year. What I don't know, are what bonuses might be added to that, this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just the way his contract works. He got a new deal from the Bills before last year. His base salary for this year is one mil, like you said. But he gets a 1.5 mil bonus, too, this year.

I'll take a trade that brings something special to the team. But, dumping Parrish for salary is stupid, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see the team doing this unless they think Hardy is going to pan out for them I agree with Dean, its a stupid idea since his cap number is 2.5 million for this year WTF ??? Id rather dump Kelsey than Parrish if you looking to clear some space..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it was probably some type of guaranteed roster bonus or the like. It doesn't really matter what it was, it was part of the renegotiation that the Bills did. He was probably promised 4 million cash for the first year. I doubt it was a performance based bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
