Mike Williams' cap hit is now $9.17 million because of the salary escalator

Wahle is too expensive. I foresee a Steelers connection. Kendrick Vincent could be a REAL possibility

http://espn.go.com/nfl/afc/draftsignings.html $540,000 was from his original rookie contract signed in 2001. As you can see, nothing states a salary escalator in the 5th yr.

New information was submitted last night, should be updated later today or tomorrow. I do not know how to do the website stuff......I'm a numbers kinda guy I will post a thread when it's ready

My source for ALL salaries is NFLPA website. That's as accurate as anyone can get.

Happy Birthday fool

http://www.nflpa.org/Members/playerProfile.asp?ID=30107 I agree.....being named as an alternate probably triggered the escalator

Went from $540,000 to $2.5 million Must have had a salary escalator and I was not aware of it I now have them $7,418,595 under before tenders, official salary cap, and likely cap (debit) adjustment

old-time(you) vs neo(mark) There is a HUGE difference....neo's are always right in their minds and do not like criticism

Mark Weiler is a staunch neo-conservative...,....need we say any more

Reese is UFA Pucillo is RFA

http://www.askthecommish.com/salarycap/faq.asp Question 1.8b If a player decides to renegotiate his contract, how does the bonus money he received in the original contract count against the cap? Answer:If a player renegotiates his contract and gets a new signing bonus, the new signing bonus is prorated over the remaining years of the original contract AND over the extension. The allocation of the original signing bonus remains unchanged. For example, Player X is currently in the third year of a four-year deal (1999–2002) that paid him a $1 million signing bonus. In 2001, Player X renegotiates his deal extending his contract to the 2004 season while getting a $2 million signing bonus. The original $1 million signing bonus is allocated at $250,000 per year over 2001 and 2002 just as it would be if there were no renegotiations. However, the new $2 million signing bonus is allocated at $500,000 per year over the remaining two years of the original contract (2001–2002) and the extended two years (2003–2004).

Lancaster is full....stay out Just kiddin' of course. Seriously, I like Depew/Lancaster area

Actually, 2006 looks good

If the draft fell that way, I wouldn't complain about Baas and Boley. But rds 4-7 need to add a S, DL, WR, RB or FB

Re-doing his deal should be high priority. Especially if the roster bonus is due at the start of the FA period, March 2nd

By definition, "simple restructure" basically only re-works the year of the restructure. If the Bills did a "simple restructure" of MW....they would reduce his salary to the min for MW's credited seasons. That salary is $455,000, so $4 million - $455,000 = $3.545 million + $3 million roster bonus = $6.545 million. He has 3 yrs remaining on his original rookie deal, so $6.545 million/3 yrs = $2,181,666/yr. His new cap number for 2005 would be $4,806,666 for a cap savings of $4,363,334 HOWEVER, you just added $2,181,666 bonus amortization to both 2006 & 2007 which cannot be changed. Each year would have $4,351,666 just for the bonus amortization. His cap number in 2006 would be $11,351,666 and in 2007 it would be $9.351 million Any new deal MUST be an extension so new signing bonus can be prorated throughout the length of the deal. (again, the old amort cannot be re-amortized)

Page 101 * For the purposes of the Salary Cap, any signing bonus given in connection with a contract extension entered into before the expiration of the player’s existing contract will be prorated over the remaining years of the unexpired contract together with its extension. The parties agree that, pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the player shall always have the right to receive such a signing bonus at the time that the extension is executed, unless the player expressly agrees in the contract to defer payment of the extension bonus, in which case only the present value of the deferred payment, calculated in accordance with the method set forth in Article X, Paragraph G.1. (b) of the Stipulation and Settlement Agreement and Article XXIV, Section 7(a)(ii) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, shall be prorated (unless the extension is executed within one year of the execution of the contract being extended, in which case the gross amount of the extension bonus shall be prorated). *Side Letter 9/21/93: Sec. 17 Moulds new signing bonus is prorated from the year received (2005) thru the year of the extension (2007). It also means that Moulds existing bonus amortization from the original $12 million signing bonus paid in 2001 is only amortized for 6 yrs beginning in 2001 and ending in 2006. Moulds amortization is as follows: 2005: $2 million PLUS $1,666,666 = $3,666,666 2006: $2 million PLUS $1,666,667 = $3,666,667 2007: $1,666,667 It's reported that his new cap number is $5,166,666 ($1.5 million salary, $2 million OLD amort. , $1,666,666 NEW amort) If OLD amortization could (BUT IT CANNOT) be spread out over the extended years, then his cap number would be $4.5 million ($1.5 million salary plus $3 million amort. )

Other bonuses can be roster, reporting, workout, LTBE, NLTBE, etc......just no way of being able to seperate each type of bonus on the cap page. As I've stated before, my cap page at BillsZone has not been updated with the new information. Check my post (post #6) from Jan 29th.......HERE I said that McGahee and M. Williams may have salary escalators. McGahee's escalator is only for 2007. Was I not right about Mike Williams?

What's hockey?

LOL

I'm sad that Drew's leaving......I just hope it's truly the right decision

I lost power around 0830 and it came back on around 0930 Anyone else? I'm tryin to determine the extent
