Bills restructure Bates and Taron Johnson

Save 4.5 Million in space

According to Sportrac, after doing this, they have 12 million in space this year.

Interesting move.

Let the speculation begin

There must be something in the works. It doesn't make sense to push more money into the future if they aren't going to use the cap space.

Jonathan Taylor?

I don’t see any OL available or on the trading block

Clearly getting Nick Bosa.

Risner, Landry, and Golladay all spring to mind as options.

Did they need to make cap room for any of those guys? Nobody seems to want them.

Golladay was trash on Giants

Re: Bills restructure Bates and Taron Johnson

You could sign all 3 and still not need 12 mil. There’s no way this is about any FAs.

it’s a trade or extension

Mike Evans or Godwin I heard were potentially being shopped in Tampa

Maybe an extension for Davis? They might be confident in him taking the next step and want to pay him before his price goes up.

Of all possible reasons for these cap gymnastics please don’t be this. If it looks like a WR3/4 duck and quacks like a WR3/4 duck……

Godwin or Evans would be amazing

Risner apparently wants north of $9.5 per year. Landry and Golladay I don’t know about. I wouldn’t expect them to command huge numbers, since they both come with significant risk.

Yes he was, but he offers us the size we don’t have at WR. Probably get him cheap as a big body redzone target who can run the fade route.

I know there was some questions about attitude and work ethic is NY, so they’d have to do their due diligence there.

Re: Bills restructure Bates and Taron Johnson

Eisner has only played OG in the pros, right? Do you suppose the Bills are really looking at that position when OT is the real problem? Is Risner versatile or is McGovern’s health a bigger issue than we think?

Re: Bills restructure Bates and Taron Johnson

What about Chandler or Chris Jones :)
