    big mike steps up to help out

    Bills | Williams Tweaks His Contract
    Sun, 26 Jun 2005 09:15:05 -0700

    Mark Gaughan, of the Buffalo News, reports the Buffalo Bills did some tweaking to OT Mike D. Williams' contract. The team will save $2 million against this year's salary cap sometime in July by spreading out $3 million in roster bonuses he was scheduled to get this summer. That will put his cap figure at $7.46 million and provide a cap cushion. It doesn't look like a more extensive reworking of his contract will happen this year.



    this to me tells me something is gonna happen soon with someone on our team. weather its gonna be bringing in bobby taylor who i think would make a great addition at 1-1.5 mil per year. a verba move from nowhere. or nate new deal like schobel got last year. but u know this means something is gonna be done for this year. becuz this is only shifting the bonus to create immediate space.

    when u also add in the fact that henrys deal will be soon off the books too who knows what kind of move we will be making.

        Verba is way overrated. Spend it on someone else.

          Who else is Free Agency would provide veteran experience at left tackle? I'm not saying he's amazing and we will be set once we sign him, but it couldn't hurt for Gandy to have some compitition

                Although, I would be thrilled if he was making room to lock up Nate Clements and Terrence McGee for a while.

                  I agree, but any upgrade to the OL would be priority 1 IMO.

                    I was just talking to a friend who is a browns fan last night. He said he really wasnt that great of a LT. Said he plays better at guard.

                      No, Priority 1 is making sure Nate Clements stays as a Buffalo Bill for a long time.

                        Priority #1 should have been from day 1 to extend Nate Clements.

                          Re: big mike steps up to help out???

                          How did Mike Williams help out?? Isn't this simply how his bonus is prorated against the cap? Did he and his agent agree to push some payments out? Who, besides Verba, is for sure available to sign at LT?

                            As would I. Verba may be a good player, but not worth the money he wants. I would definitley use that space to pursue a new contract for at least Clements. (isn't McGee going to be an RFA?)

                              Sounds like very other option we have at LT huh?

                              Signing Nate Clements to a long-term deal is definitely priority number one
