Kyle Williams takes pay cut

[Pinkerton Security]

Gotta love this guy.

Records show that Williams' 2016 base salary has been reduced from $6 million to $4.25 million. There were no other changes to Williams' deal, suggesting Williams took a pay cut instead of the team restructuring the $1.75 million difference into incentives or a bonus.
Williams' agent, Pat Dye, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Bills do not publicly discuss terms of player contracts.
Williams' cap number has dropped from $8 million to $6.25 million, while the Bills' cap space has increased from $5.82 million to $7.57 million, according to NFLPA records. Of that amount, the Bills will need to reserve space to reach deals with their draft picks this summer.

The Bills robbed him. They should pay him 20mill this year for not being able to surround him with an at least semi professional team the last 10 or whatever many years

He obviously agreed to this...his hopes are that money goes towards other FAs that will help put a real team on the field

That extra space should be used to sign Terrance Knighton.

Not only do the bills needs him but he would prolong KW career.

If they cut FJax, they'll cut anybody. Watch your back, KW.

Off to a contender he'd go. Still has some left in the tank and would be better suited in a 4-3 anyway. Rotational where he'd be kept fresh, he'd be an impact player.

Every move the Bills make sucks.

Got it.

Not EVERY one. It was good they locked up Glenn and resigned Incognito, let go of Bradham, McKelvin, and Brooks.

Re: Kyle Williams takes pay cut

The one who should be taking a pay cut for the way he's played the Bills last 25 games is Dareus.

I suspect his willingness to agree to the pay cut was a financial decision in that he thinks he can make more under this reduced contract than he could make on the open market.

Maybe. But I kinda doubt he couldn't score $6M somewhere in the current market ridiculousness. He's still a very capable DT.
