link ? what 42 players are you referring to ? Who is included in a team's Salary Cap? Team salary includes the amount a team pays its current or former players under their player contracts. The Salary Cap does NOT include pay to coaches, assistants, trainers, or other team employees. Only the highest 51 player salaries for a team count against the Salary Cap in the offseason while ALL player salaries of a team count in calculating the team total Salary Cap during the season. This includes a player that is on Injured Reserve (IR), Physically Unable to Perform (PUP), and the Practice Squad (PS). Practice Squad contracts are included in a team's Salary Cap during the season except in certain situations where a practice squad player is signed to another team's 53-man roster. http://nflsalarycapguru.com/

Chris Canty on Suh: It's dirty, but offensive linemen do it all the time http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/09/12/chris-canty-on-suh-its-dirty-but-offensive-linemen-do-it-all-the-time/

they did from 2012 to 2013. the Bills had a "carry over" of $9.8 million

this is Andre Reed's year....book it.

Under Article 13, Section 6(b)(v) of the CBA: (v) Carrying Over Room. A Club may "carry over" Room from one League Year to the following League Year by submitting notice in writing signed by the owner to the NFL no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the start of the next League Year indicating the maximum amount of Room that the Club wishes to carry over. The NFL shall prompdy provide a copy of any such notice to the NFLP A. The amount of Room carried over will be adjusted downward based on the final Room available after the year-end reconciliation https://www.nflplayers.com/about-us/CBA-Download/

here's a link to the player salary cap of every team, just click on the team helmet of your choosing: http://www.sportscity.com/nfl/salaries/dallas-cowboys-salaries/

nobody has said base salary and cap hit are the same. the only way Mario would accept a restructure is to ADD years, dollars and more upfront money, which the bills will not do. Mario has received so much money upfront that he doesn't care if they cut him, he gets to keep it all and will simply decline any restructuring talk. 3/15/2012: Signed a six-year, $96 million contract. The deal contains $50 million guaranteed, including a $19 million signing bonus and all of Williams' 2012 and 2013 base salaries. Another $4 million is available through incentives. Williams is eligible for an annual $500,000 workout bonus in years two through six. 2013: $6.5 million (+ $8 million option bonus), 2014: $1.9 million (+ $10.6 million roster bonus), 2015: $12.1 million (+ $1 million roster bonus), 2016: $11.5 million (+ $2.5 million roster bonus), 2017: $11.4 million (+ $3.5 million roster bonus), 2018: Free Agent http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3636/mario-williams

I hear ya.....but at least I won't have to pay him to sit.

i'd still rather be dealing with the Suh headache over the Tyrd headache. at least Suh is on the field wreaking havoc and not home nursing two sore feet.

in a couple of weeks, Tyrd will try to give it a go, then have a setback that will take him thru the bye week. he will play 5 games this year.

1,600 tix left We do have some tickets to move, said Brandon, who appeared on the Howard Simon show on Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550. We have about 1,600 tickets left remaining for the game. The deadline is Thursday at 1 pm. Tickets are moving and we're confident we'll be able to get the game sold out. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2013/09/11/1600-tickets-left-for-sundays-game/

the NFLPA should chime in any day now claiming the commissioner exceeded his authority.

if the Agent is talking to other teams about possible trades and the bills are inquiring to the league if Tyrd's contract can be "altered" by the new team if traded....then exactly what is the difference between "requesting" and "open to it" ?? Parker "hey doug, we are not asking for or demanding a trade, but why don't we both explore the possiblilty of a trade because we are not against a trade, in fact, we are open to one" got it !

assuming Mario plays at the same level he did last year, his contract will not be restructured or terminated until after 2015. Mario Williams will have already received $40 million in CASH in the first two years of his deal !! $19,000,000 Signing Bonus 2012 $ 5,900,000 Base Salary 2012 $ 100,000 Workout Bonus 2012 $25,000,000 TOTAL CASH 2012 $ 8,000,000 Option Bonus 2013 $ 6,500,000 Base Salary 2013 $ 500,000 Workout Bonus 2013 $15,000,000 TOTAL CASH 2013 $40,000,000 TOTAL CASH GIVEN 2012 & 2013 $ 9,800,000 CAP HIT 2012 $12,400,000 CAP HIT 2013 $17,800,000 DEAD MONEY if cut after year 2013. $ 1,900,000 BASE SALARY 2014 $10,600,000 ROSTER BONUS 2014 $ 500,000 WORKOUT BONUS 2014 $13,000,000 TOTAL CASH PAID 2014 $18,400,000 CAP HIT 2014 $53,000,000 TOTAL CASH GIVEN THRU 2014 $40,600,000 TOTAL CAP HIT THRU 2014 $12,400,000 DEAD MONEY IF CUT AFTER 2014 $12,100,000 BASE SALARY 2015 $ 1,000,000 ROSTER BONUS 2015 $ 500,000 WORKOUT BONUS 2015 $13,600,000 TOTAL CASH GIVEN 2015 $19,000,000 CAP HIT 2015 $66,600,000 TOTAL CASH GIVEN THRU 2015 $59,600,000 TOTAL CAP HIT THRU 2015 $ 7,000,000 DEAD MONEY IF CUT AFTER 2015 http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/mario-williams/

1,600 tix remain

UPDATED: $19,408,017.00 current available cap space. BAD NEWS....most of it is going to be used up next year with the players we already have. NAME - 2013 Cap - projected 2014 CAP Mario - $12.4 - $18.4 Stevie - $5.6 - $8.5 Kyle - $5.9 - $5.8 Marcell - $5.5 - $6.5 CJ - $3.7 - $4.2 Freddy - $3.7 - $3.7 Eric Wood - $5.0 - $5.3 Leodis - $3.0 - $4.2 Pears - $2.8 - $3.5 Urbik - $2.8 - $3.3 Fitz - $3.0 - $7.0 (dead money) TOTAL - $56.1 - $73.4

UPDATE: Cap Space is now $19,408,017.00 https://www.nflplayers.com/reports/RunPublicReport.aspx?report=top51 it may have gone down due to the structuring of Eric Wood's new deal

folks keep asking "why are they sitting on over $22 million in cap space" #1- because $19 million of it will be used up by their core players in scheduled increases if they do nothing. #2- they will still need to set aside around $5 million to sign their rookies for 2014. #3- Mario Williams deal is NOT getting restructured. the soonest he will get cut is after 2015 ($7 mil of dead money). #4- the "rollover" money is uncertain and more of a one time thing. we will have some again in 2014 but may not have any in 2015. #5- then you have your own Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA) after this season like: Scott Chandler, Alex Carrington, Moats, Branch, Choice, Legursky. #6- might need to make more room if we sign Byrd long term. #7- will they create more cap space by cutting some players ? absolutely (Kolb, Brad Smith) we are just not in as great a Cap Space position as it looks.

if Mario plays thru next year (2014) on this current contract and he is cut at the end of 2014 (his third season with the bills) you will have $12.4 million in DEAD MONEY to spread out over the 2015 & 2016 seasons.

if Mario says no to a restructure and you cut Mario after this season, you will have $17.8 million worth of DEAD MONEY to spread out over the 2014 & 2015 seasons.
