Sam Martin? Really?

Bills sign P Jake Camarda to reserve/futures contract

That is why Sam Martin is a candidate to be cut.

'This is a meat-and-potatoes draft': NFL scouts on the strengths, weaknesses and depth of the 2025 class

-Daquan Jones can wait till this summer

Given all the starters on expiring deals in 2025, I won't be shocked if they avoid any post-6/1 cuts or trades that would push significant dead cap into 2026.

And Edwards is an option because the cap savings is so big. It will all come down to what Kromer is saying. This will carry a ton of weight as Edwards is the only OL that had prior experience with Kromer and is most certainly one of "Kromer's guys." So, if Kromer tells Beane that Alec Anderson or Tylan Grable is ready to step in at LG, I think they could choose to move on from Edwards.

But, I would probably expect an Edwards extension to keep him in 2026 might be more likely given how well he played in 2024 and his relationship with Kromer.

And Joe (and the Cover 1 guys on their Cap Special) weren't saying the Bills would or should pull all these cap levers to clear space. These are just what they could do cap-wise.

My thought on Jones is that the savings is relatively little. We only have 3 DT on the roster currently.

he wasn't great last year....I'm fine with him coming back at a lessor role. I am curious if he's is willing to go the knox/Miller way from last year and take a bit of a paycut as well.

Given the lack of depth at the position, good luck trying to leverage him into taking a pay cur from his $7.75M base salary in 2025.

I don't even know what kind of a conversion to a Not Likely To Be Earned incentive he would go for.

He is kind of like Elam to me. He's on the roster unless you are ready to trade him for a late day 3 pick swap just to get the cap savings and you think a rookie would be an upgrade.

I'm not sure they get there with Jones.

The post-6/1 trade or cut has the same 2026 impact as letting him play this year due to the void years on his deal.
