Possible cuts

[The Spaz]

Dave Moore- saves about a million dollars

Pierson Prioleau-saves about a million

Izell Reese- saves about 3/4 of a million


Who do you think should be cut and easily replaced?

[DraftBoy]

I agree with all of those and possible Sidney, AVP, Brown, Pucillo.

Yeah definitely Sidney. QB's I would say yes to both but more so to Brown. Pucillo is a good candidate for sure. Brown I agree with as well as he is due a 1.8 million dollar bonus the day the season starts just heard that on WNSA radio.

AVP isn't going anywhere. All the rest are fair game.

[Ebenezer]

Moore--$1 mil
Prioleau--depending on when the workout bonus is payable--$600K
Reese--$750K
Sidney is a FA
AVP--if before 6/1--$600K
Brown-$1.8 mil
Pucillio-$380K

Remember to subtract $300K from these amount to make up for the person who replaces them on the roster.

Is Ruben unwilling to restructure? That would seem to be a better approach with him. None of the other guys mentioned would be missed too much.

He is quoted in Sunday's paper as willing to take a paycut. :up:

Thanks, Phil. Let's keep him if that's the case.

I am hoping Ruben Brown's contract is reworked and he stays with the Bills

Me too. I think he needs a little anti-holding propaganda, but he is a seasoned vet.

[mypoorfriendme]

his beef with the coaching staff is not longer and im sure he will be a bill. i like dave moore but not for 1 milion, he shuold be cut. and if we want to bring in a starter at FS, lets cut both PP and izell. we can convert a cb to back up there and nuefield did descent last year; he could fill in for moore. i really dont care if we cut them all besides ruben brown and we still need some line depth.

Cut Prioleau and/or Reese, We're gonna fill that spot neway w/ a FS in the draft. (Jones, Williams, Taylor?):drool: Cut Moore too.

[Historian]

I've been calling for them to dump AVP for about five years now.

[tampabay25690]

Ruben will stay I think.He seems like the true leader on the team......

I think he was just speaking his opinion.........ABOUT the
terrible coaching the Bills had last year....

BUT DO U BLAME HIM

Here's a link to the article on Ruben: http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20040222/1018807.asp

The most relevent :

"If the Bills release Brown before paying the bonus, then he will count $4 million against the cap. Brown is signed for three more years, through 2006, so his amortized bonuses would accelerate into this year's cap."

"Brown can take a cut in his base salary of $2.7 million. That would bring his cap cost to the Bills down, perhaps to about $5 million. But he can't cut it enough to make himself count less than $4 million. "

Ruben is probably gone.

I doubt it...we were weak enough at RG and C...we lose our LG, we're gonna be in serious trouble.
