Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 4 yr 20.4 million all guaranteed. Wow, Bills weren't messing around with this one, maybe with the rookie cap it is easier to do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I think there is a rule that states drafted players can't renegotiate until after the players 3rd year. Undrafted after 2. Thanks GRJ. That represents significant savings. Wish it were the case for the Maybin draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To Pegulavilla Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Da'norris Searcy and Johnny White have both signed contracts. Just a few more to go. C'mon Buddy go out and get a RT and an ILB to wrap er up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I never got a text - is this true? I wonder why its all guaranteed? Is that part of the new rookie cap? Makes sense if it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefenseWins Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 If I recall, based on the new CBA, all round one contracts are 4 years with a team option for a fifth year. The fifth year salary for a number 3 pick is the average of the top 5 (or 10) contracts at that players position. Given that is about 8 mill or so (my guess) this has the chance to be 5 years at about 28 million guaranteed. Great money, but still less than last year would have gotten Dareus. So, As far as the Bills cap numbers are concerned, based on 4yrs/20million, where do the Bills currently stand? That is how much of the 39million is left after Dareus, and the rest of the draft picks are signed? and Florence, Brad Smith and Thigpen are factored in?

Cash Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I never got a text - is this true? I wonder why its all guaranteed? Is that part of the new rookie cap? Makes sense if it is... It is not formally part of the rookie contract rules, but thus far, all of the high first rounders (maybe even all first rounders so far? Not sure.) have had their 4-year deals fully guaranteed. Since the top picks are making so much less now, it makes some sense to throw them/their agents a bone. When you consider how long it takes teams to give up on Aaron Maybin high picks who bust, it's unlikely to cost the teams very much. If anything, it encourages teams to take a longer view when developing high picks, since you can't save any money from cutting them. Also, it's a little off-topic for this thread, but worth mentioning: The Patriots' first-rounder, Nate Solder, is still unsigned. What the hell are they waiting for?
