LabattBlue Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Assuming the Bills have an internal cap number that is less than the actual cap(I think this is completely feasible), I wonder when the Bills are going to run up against it? They still have to pay Johnson and Jackson, and I would think that contract extensions for Wood and Levitre are going to happen in the next year or two. Contract extensions on the defensive side of the ball?? Not so sure? George Wilson, Barnett, someone else??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson and Barnett just resigned this past offseason, assuming McKelvin is allowed to walk after next season there really isnt anyone pressing on defense. My guess is that Jackson is not given an extension this season, and is rewarded in the offseason before camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 They don't have to pay monster contracts to draft picks anymore, so there is a bit more flexiblity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point They don't have to pay monster contracts to draft picks anymore, so there is a bit more flexiblity. Great point i hope they are really willing to start looking at proven season vets. Hopefully a pass rusher next year and nuild how the 80 and 90s bills did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 They'll pay to keep the players they think are worth the money. Which means Stevie next, and then Freddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr1 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 They'll pay the offensive guys and use the Moneyball formula for defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Also not having a top ten pick helps this even more. I'd be happy with the 32nd pick in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) The Bills are paying peanuts for OL. The Bills are paying peanut shells for TE. The Bills are paying peanut shells for WR. The Bills are paying about average now for RB, perhaps just above average as CJ has a decent contract. The only position they are paying for now on the entire offense is QB, with a 2nd tier starter, good back-up money and big for #3 money. On defense, we have middle of the pack across the board. No monster salaries but Dareus and Kyle and Kelsay make some money. Most of the other starters now make 3-4 million.

billsfan89 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Stevie and Freddie are musts. Give Freddie the money in the off-season as he has another year left on his deal. Lock in Stevie now as we don't want to have to use the franchise tag. Other than Stevie you can wait till the off-season to assess who is worth it. Nelson, Wood, Levitre, McKelvin, Chandler, and whoever else is out preforming their contracts or their contracts are expiring can be assessed at the end of the season. Its only been 6 games lets see exactly how everything shakes out at the end of the year before they hand out big deals. Kyle got paid because he had monster season last year as well as the fact that he has been a good performer for years prior. Fitz got paid because of his position. Stevie will get paid because of his production last season and this season. After that there really isn't a need to do more in season deals.
