i cant open the cap websites but do they have the money? they have to have a ton of dead money right?
Not coming into the trade. If Cleveland cuts Osweiler then they'd have his whole $16M guaranteed salary hit as dead money.
-
Schefter is reporting 3 yrs 45 million w/ 19 GTD. Crazy money and people complain about Tyrod.
To be fair, people were complaining about a contract that just got slashed. How many are still complaining?
-
The salary cap floor. It's a thing.
The salary cap floor is based on a moving average of cash paid. The Browns were over the minimum before FA started.
-
BOOM! This is a huge signing.
Yes. Desperately needed a player like Hyde at S.

Nice job by Whaley. High end bridge deal, fair to both sides. Team is competitive in the short term and can look for and acquire their long term FQB.

@jasonlacanfora
Tyrod Taylor's re-done deal with the Bills is for 2yrs, $30.5M (rest of it voids), $15.5M guar. Makes $14.5 this year, would make $16M in 18

Seems reasonable for both sides. It's a high end bridge deal that doesn't preclude the Bills from trying to acquire their long term FQB. And we can be competitive in the short term. Nice job by Whaley on this one.

@spotrac
At a reported $7.5M, #49ers new FB Kyle Juszczyk is set to rake in more 2017 cash than every active running back not named LeVeon Bell.
That is crazy
-
He's a great candidate for a June 1st designation which would kick half of his dead money to next season.
-
This is for the best. Hope he hangs them up for his own good.
-
Spotrac isn't updated yet - that will give a clearer picture
Agreed

Depends upon the new contract details.

Yeah. Very little can be gleaned from this info. I'll wait until full details come out before judging. It's certainly possible that Taylor's agent gauged the market and determined that a lesser offer the Bills were offering was competitive with or better than what he'd get as a FA. Then we're looking at a deal that is probably a good one for both sides. It'd also be a deal that wouldn't prohibit the Bills from acquiring another QB via the draft, trade or FA. Or we might just be looking at the Bills kicking some cap hit down the road. I'm hopeful it's the former.So what's the total in guaranteed money?
What are the details after year 2?
Anyone know the details?
I'm loving that Taylor is thinking about winning rather than money. In the end, he's still set for life. I'm wondering Woods is next in line to re-sign.
-
Situation's still fluid.
Wouldn't hazard a guess one way or the other.
Best guess is things will start to flesh out after NFL free agency opens.

Sorry i inadvertently hit send...this team has the coach. What they need IMO to break the wretched "P" word is guys who buy in and lay it all on the line on Sundays. We have the foundation. What we lack is the few guys that no matter what do wha there told (i'm looking at you jerry). The individual talent is there. I'd put us on par with the cowboys. Players will come for Terry, we just need to put it all together to make it a reality
You think the problem is that the Bills players aren't trying as hard as players on other teams? And how would you know if this team has a good head coach? McD has literally never been head coach of any football team at any level.

I wouldn't get ahead of myself on next season. It looks good because so few players are under contract. It's actually not that great. 25 players currently under contract through 2018 and over $106M in current obligations (including TT).From my understanding, we are in a much better cap situation next year. I don't normally like the idea of kicking the can down the road, but is there any reason we can't re-structure Dareus, Glenn, and maybe Kyle to get some cap relief this year and dump some into next year?
I'm genuinely worried about the amount of holes we need to fill. If we freed up even another 10-15 mil, we could keep a Gilmore, sign a Torrey Smith, RT, and keep a Brown. I'm also a fan of keeping TT, but that's not what this is abour.
The draft would handle he rest and I think we stay competitive this year.
Don't focus on who I want to keep. I just want to know if this is a possible idea.
Restructuring Glenn's deal could easily kick $6M of cap space into future years by converting $8M of his base salary into a signing bonus. His contract seems tailor made for this kind of restructure.
http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cordy-glenn-9851/
Kyle is in his last season so cutting his cap number would require an extension or pay cut. Extending him would just kick cap dollars into next season since this will likely be his last year. Asking him to take a pay cut is probably the best option.
Dareus is a very poor candidate for restructure since the team would have to hand him a lump sum of cash and lower his 2017 salary. That salary is the cash that is on the line for him if he is suspended again. No way would I remove that financial incentive for him to stay clean and out of trouble.

I like Gillislee a lot but I dislike giving RB's long term deals.
IMO, it would have been worth paying the extra $900K or so to effectively lock him down for this season but still be able to move on next year if they find another one late in the draft of UDFA or scrap heap............nobody is coughing up a 2nd in this draft.
But a fifth? With all the comp picks this year that is a virtual 6th.
Mistakes wrt RB deals have lead to the Bills squandering so many draft resources on RB's in their history it's utterly crazy.
I agree. I expected the 2nd round tender. I have to think some teams would be very interested in him for only a 5th. The Bills can match, but I doubt they'd do so.
-
He's been a starter for only 2 seasons.........and if we had just an average defense last year we would have mage the playoffs
The Bills were 16th in points allowed and 19th in yards allowed. That seems pretty average.
-
The Bills would jump at the 33rd pick for Taylor, but it's just wishful thinking. The Browns are not interested in his current contract so they aren't trading anything for him. They do have interest in the player and he fits what Jackson wants to do, but he wouldn't prevent them from pursuing other QBs.

Ian Rapoport Retweeted Josh KatzensteinNo. 32, yes, but would involve a swap of picks. Not a true first rounder (yet)
This makes way more sense.

The Jets are in full tank mode and have bought a ticket into the Sam Darnold sweepstakes.
Yup. THAT is how you tank. Jest are going full 2016 Browns tank in 2017.

1) Logical. Possible. No downside. Extremely low probability of happening though.
2) Logical. Probable. Little downside except potentially pissing off Taylor. Reasonable probability of happening.
3) Illogical and highly improbable or a sign of horrific organizational dysfunction. This would mean that Pegula and Whaley just hired a HC who strongly disagrees with Whaley about Tyrod and that they didn't work out that difference prior to hire. Whaley knew what he thought of Taylor during last season. There's been no new information since week 15. From that perspective, a reasonable plan is #2 above, look for someone better or someone equivalent and cheaper, but keep Taylor if we can't find that. So is #1, keep him around and try to trade him until close to deadline. But not having a plan and setting your organization up for a disagreement is nothing but bad.
-
Who says Whaley hired the coach?
The other option is that Pegula hired a HC that disagrees with his GM regarding Taylor. Again, that makes no sense.
-
It is written by LaCanfora, so I doubt it is true
First of all, yes, JLC is a horrific shill and crappy reporter.
Is it even remotely plausible that Whaley hired a head coach with whom he disagreed on the Taylor situation? I'm not the biggest Whaley fan, but I'm living in the real world here.

Keep Tyrod and draft a QB in the first round. That's what i would do
That would really undermine Tyrod. It'd be a clear indication that he's just an expensive bridge and it'd make it known that he is not in the team's long term plans. It'd be better to just find a cheaper bridge QB and draft away at the position.
We must still draft a QB

Tyrod's revised deal makes him a 2 year bridge. The Bills will be looking for their long term answer at QB, but it's debatable whether this draft is a good place to find that.
