Kyle retires not cut

I think it's scheme driven.

Possibilities;

Harvin
Lawson
Graham
Felton

There is not even a 1% chance Harvin is on the team next year.

Re: Cut Line

Yeah Harvin obviously gone from the bills and the NFL. Felton was a major disappointment. Graham was our leading tackler and with McFumbles going, it would be hard to get rid of him, although it's a possibility.

Graham could be out if they want a SS. They may want to go with a better player against the run and a guy that can muscle the WR's a bit more.

Re: Cut Line

I know he is a buffalo guy, but Graham is a backup at best.

Re: Cut Line

Cap effect:

Cutting:
Mario- 12.9
McKelvin- 3.9
Graham- 2.6

Kyle retires- 5

24.4 mill in cap room from those changes

I don't think that is enough as the Bills would still need to dip into free agency to retain/replace the left side of their offensive line, obtain two new starting defensive lineman, a starting safety and corner depth, not to mention fixing the linebacker mess and deciding whether they are going to roll with Tyrod at QB going forward. They can probably fill one or two of those via the draft.

That was just that part. They have ~8 mill that can be rolled into next year and the cap is potentially set to rise to 153.

I think 30 mill is very possible in cap room.

Re: Cut Line

Cut

Mario gone - too expensive for what Rex needs in his D - unless he takes a pay cut

Bradham - Can't afford after keeping Glenn and Incognito

Mckelvin - we need more talent at outside CB

Stefan Charles - disappointed with KW out

Bryant - disappointed with KW out

Keep

Lawson - not expensive and we would have to replace him anyway - his versatility is too useful

Graham - Good team guy to have around and can do different things

KW - I would keep him - he got a year off basically to rest and come back fresh for one more year - he is the kind of player you need to make the playoffs

Harvin - If he can get healthy I would keep him - he was good when he was on the field and we need another all around receiver on the outside who excels with the deep ball since Tyrod throws it so well

Re: Cut Line

I don't think Mario would stay even with a pay raise !! Him and Rex just don't see eye to eye. Its clear as day this next 2 games are his last in a Bills uni.

Bradham needs to be let go. He blows

McKelvin. Thankfully only 2 more games of him left as well

Harvin? Gone. What a ******ed experiment.


I don't think Kyle retires or gets cut. I think he comes back honestly.

I would also try to keep both Graham and Lawson but only at a certain price. If they become expensive show them the door. They are decent players but far from game changers. Graham has been getting worse by the minute.

Re: Cut Line

I posted this exact same thread about a month ago with Mario, Kyle, McKelvin being cut....and everyone...well nearly everyone thought I was nuts.

Funny what a month of Bills football can to do us.

How much is Mario's cap hit if he's cut though? I know he can make a total of 15.3 next year if he was on the team and made all his incentives. I doubt we get basically full cap relief on the guy.

Over half of that 24.4 you say in cap room though is gone just on resigning Incognito and Glenn.

Re: Cut Line

Mario makes 19+ mil next season. That 12.9 is actual savings.

Re: Cut Line

Felton was a major disappointment.

How do you figure? The Bills have the #1 rushing offense in the NFL. His contract is pretty huge for a blocking only fullback, but I can't say he's underperformed when on the field.
