since head coach Sean McDermott came around Micah Hyde Jersey , but invested heavily in the position—signing one of the highest-paid players at his position in 2018. Patrick DiMarco makes a great special teamer but isn’t used much in the offense.Should he stick around in 2019? You decide.All-22 Analysis(Read the full analysis by Jeff Kantrowski aka Skarekrow)Patrick DiMarco is a versatile back who can provide enhanced pass protection and safety-outlet options for a developing quarterback. This is in addition to lead blocking that’s ordinarily associated with the fullback position. That said, except for one game, the Brian Daboll offense doesn’t seem enamored with fullbacks. If a solid tight end or developmental prospect they’d like to tinker with is available, DiMarco’s days could be numbered in Buffalo. A big positive for DiMarco is that a potential replacement will need to slot cleanly into special teams play as well, where DiMarco did see more significant time.Salary Cap Implications(Read the full article by Dylan Zadonowicz)DiMarco only took 168 offensive snaps which is good for just 15.86% of the seasons total. With a cap hit of more than $2 million, DiMarco doesn’t do enough on offense for his pay. DiMarco is a talented fullback but his role in the offense isn’t worth his contract. Since the offensive system isn’t going to change with Brian Daboll calling the shots, it isn’t likely that DiMarco’s role is due to expand.If the Bills were to cut DiMarco, it wouldn’t hurt them financially for the 2019 season and beyond.The salary cap details found below are via Spotrac:2019 cap hit: $2.15 millionWorkout bonus: $50,000Salary due: $1.6 millionDead money: $1 millionCap savings: $1.65 million if released before workout bonus is earnedIn-house replacement options(Read the full article by John Boccacino)Listed at 6-feet, 223 pounds, Ivory possesses a fullback’s powerful physique, but has never played a single snap at fullback during a nine-year career with the New Orleans Saints, New York Jets Bills Rafael Bush Jersey , Jacksonville Jaguars, and Bills.Of course, up until a few weeks ago, Buffalo’s best internal option to replace DiMarco was fan-favorite Kyle Williams, who scored his first career rushing touchdown while lining up as the fullback during a Week 17 win over the Dolphins in 2017, and added his first career reception while lined up as a fullback in a Week 17 win over the Dolphins this year. But Williams officially announced his retirement prior to the 2018 season-finale against the Dolphins, ending his wildly successful 13-year career in Western New York.So if the Bills opt to cut DiMarco, they will have to turn to free agency or the draft for replacement options, since none currently exist in-house.Free Agent Replacement Options(Read the full analysis by Sean Murphy)Ryan HewittThe veteran 28-year-old spent 2018 with the Indianapolis Colts, appearing on 182 offensive snaps, or 16% of the team’s total on the season, the highest total of all the free-agent fullbacks this season. Hewitt is less a traditional fullback and more an H-back/tight end, meaning that he could be a better fit than DiMarco in terms of the scheme. Buffalo’s offensive coordinator Brian Daboll likes to use motion and varied personnel groupings to create mismatches Bills Star Lotulelei Jersey , and Hewitt is a player who could help to keep an opposing team in its base defense when the Bills want to attack the field vertically. Dan VitaleThe former sixth-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is only 24, and while he has done little in the NFL (29 games, 8 catches, 48 yards), he did show proficiency as a receiver while at Northwestern. He’s plenty athletic, and the Bills could replace the 31-year-old DiMarco with a younger player who could be ready to do bigger things if given a larger role.Jamize OlawaleThe veteran spent 2018 with the Dallas Cowboys, appearing on only 114 snaps, or 10.59% of the Cowboys’ offensive total. While his meager stat line in 2018 seems to indicate a player unworthy of his salary, a la DiMarco (Olawale clocked in at $1.6 million against the cap last year), Olawale has shown flashes of effectiveness as both a runner and receiver in the past. He is the same age as DiMarco, so it would seem to be unnecessary to swap one for the other. NFL Draft Replacement Options(Read the entire analysis by Andrew Griffin)Tier IAlec Ingold (Wisconsin)Trevon Wesco (WVU)Ingold was the lead blocker for college football’s most prolific rushing attack and is the lone fullback invited to the Senior Bowl. Ingold isn’t just a linebacker eraser at the second-level either, he can carry the ball and has a soft pair of hands. More of a tight end or H-back, Wesco is a rumbler who was asked to do a lot of things for the Mountaineers offense Cheap Tre'Davious White Jersey , including being a lead blocker. Tier IIWinston Dimel (UTEP)As a pure run-blocking fullback, he’s part of a dying breed.Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY SportsIt’s time to vote. What should the Bills do at fullback this off-season?Sean McDermott says Buffalo Bills still deciding second starting cornerback When the Buffalo Bills inked veteran cornerback Vontae Davis to a one-year contract this offseason, most presumed that he would be the starting corner opposite Tre’Davious White. When the Bills followed that move by adding Phillip Gaines, also signing him to a one-year contract, and drafting Taron Johnson, most assumed that those two players would compete for the top gig as Buffalo’s slot corner.Now, it seems that head coach Sean McDermott has added an additional wrinkle to the competition. On Monday, he said that the coaching staff is “still working through” the competition between Davis and Gaines for the starting outside corner job. Davis’ one-year contract worth $5 million dollars for this season. His cap hit ($4,312,500) is the ninth-highest on the bills’ current roster. In contrast, Gaines’ one-year deal is worth $880,000 this offseason. Thanks to the veteran’s minimum exception, Gaines only countsfor $720 Cheap Josh Allen Jersey ,000 this year. McDermott has praised Gaines for his ability to play both inside and outside corner, and Gaines has been used in both roles thus far in Buffalo. Davis is exclusively an outside corner, and he has struggled at times, but especially against the Cincinnati Bengals, where he allowed a long touchdown pass from Andy Dalton to John Ross in the first quarter. While having both players is most beneficial to the team, it will be interesting to see what comes of this competition. Davis is making an awful lot of money to be a backup, and at this point in his career, it’s unlikely that he would be content with the role. However, if Gaines is the superior player, than the coaching staff has to play him, regardless of finances or feelings. Either way, there is at least one more positional battle still up for grabs heading into Buffalo’s week one showdown against the Baltimore Ravens.
