    Jerry Ostroski to take PAY CUT!!!???

    With the Cowboys starting five black offensive lineman, the color barrier on NFL lines appears to be disappearing.


    Buffalo offensive lineman Jerry Ostroski has lost his starting position and now could lose $1 million. Word is that the Bills have apprised Ostroski he needs to reduce his 2002 base salary from $1.75 million to $750,000 to ensure himself a roster spot. It looks like Ostroski will take the pay cut.

      Yeah, but it sounds like he is going to do it. He wants to stay on the team. I know we can count on Jerry!

      The question is....where does this money go??? Sam Adams? Free Agent DT? Free agent DE? Free Agent OL? A trade? Hmmmm

        Money for next year. Perhaps to sign someone this year for next.

          I agree with you Mike...This tells me they are not happy in a certain position and need the $$$ to go after someone...maybe big Sam, maybe Glenn Parker...

              EE, I definitely think the money will be spent this year, otherwise why ask him to take the pay cut? It sounds like they're only reducing his salary, so from my little knowledge of the salary cap, that has no implications at all on the cap for next year and only provides savings this year.

                  It's all rumor...Donahoe and JerryO each denied it.

                    You beat me to it, Philster. I saw the denials too. We all know lots of stuff goes on behind the scenes that nobody likes to admit. We may never know whether the original report or the denials are true. One thing is clear. Someone is lying.
                    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                        If this is true it is a smart move by Jerry O. If fina had taken the same offer he would not be unemployed right now.
