To reiterate before the conversation happens. The NFL salary cap is just a guideline and never hard facts. Per Spotrac the Bills can clear up about 100mil.


Restructure (savings)
Allen - $23.1m
Diggs - $13.1m
Knox - $6.0m
Oliver - $3.5m
McGovern - $3.2m
Milano - $2.4m
Total - $51.3m

Release
White - $6.2m saved
Poyer - $5.5m saved
Morse - $5.4m saved
Hines - $5.0m saved
Harty - $4.1m saved
Neal - $2.9m saved
Bates - $1.4m saved
Martin - $1.25m saved
Total $31.75m


Extension / Restructure
Dawkins - 2 year - $7.1m
Douglas - 2 year - $5.9m
T. Johnson - 3 year - $4.8m
Total - $17.8m

Total savings: $100.85m

I actually liked McDermott once he became aggressive going for it in 4th down with Allen.

The fake punt was stupid to Hamlin though


I think overall this team was flawed. I kept saying it all year. It was a roller coaster of ups and downs with no true middle ground.


Get the offensive 1 legit Rookie WR and roll with Diggs, rookie, shakir and Kinkaid.

This years draft has 3 amazing WRs in this years draft and some other really good ones.


If there was a time to trade up for one. This year would be the year

Aggressive isn't just about 4th down.

The ones I want to keep may very well price themselves out. Floyd, Epenesa and D. Jones are three I'd like to keep...and will likely be gone. Some guys, like Davis and Hyde need to go for money reasons. Most of the rest are meh. Could live with keeping them, but wouldn't fight with other teams.

Lots of turnover coming.

For the sabres locker room?

I guess that explains alot this season. They arent even aware of what sport they're playing

As for the bills, I was there last night. Crushing. They will never win it all with stupid decision mcconservative

I cannot believe our coach ran a make a wish fake punt playing for a feel good story instead of playing to win.

This man doesn’t just not have a winning mentality, he actively doesn’t care about winning altogether.

I took one on the chin this fall when the Sabres ran it back, but after the first 15 games I was done.

I really can say with absolute certainty that if McDermott is coaching this team in September, I won’t even make it 1 game.

The Sabres are burning a season to learn, next year they will apply what they learn...potential = wins...everybody knows that.

McDerp will never win a big game...he is born #2...total loser.

I didn't think Bill would be a good fit before, but now I think he is the solution.

Bills will run it back just like the Sabres do, it's the Buffalo way of business.
