Or does it count? June 1st cuts should be something special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 For the Bills the cap really isn't much of a concern. Esp with Florence cut and the fact that there are a lot of guys with big cap numbers that could be let go (D.Edwards, Thigpen and S.Johnson come to mind) as well as the 9.7 already in room. Plenty of fat going into next year that could also be cut (Kelsay, B.Smith, and Merriman). The Bills look to be in a good cap situation going forward.

Or does it count? June 1st cuts should be something special Restructure 1-2 deals and you get plenty of space. June 1 under CBA revisions also isn't near the day it once was.

Everyone's afraid to make moves so we can resign guys, but we have plenty of space to be active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieScooby Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The rookie wage cap in 11 CBA is huge. Gilmore & Dareus would have cost a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) With the Florence cut are we more around $14 million? ...I thought it was mentioned that we save 5 million and 6 million in cap space, respectively, over the next two years.

billsfan89 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Jackson, levitre, and byrd - gotta get them inked before start of season, price only goes up once the games start. I honestly believe that's one of the reason's why Florence was cut so that they could get these guys signed. I also think that D.Edwards will be cut and his 4 million cap number be used to squeeze those guys in. If we cut D.Edwards and resign Jackson, Levitre, Byrd and are still 4-5 million under the cap we can easily be active in free agency next season to acquire another piece or two. We have a lot of guys on this roster that could but cut to free up cap space next season (Merriman's deal is up, Kelsay, S.Johnson, Thigpen, D.Edwards if he is still here, and B.Johnson) All those guys make 3+ million and aren't major contributors. Also McKelvin's deal is up and he makes 4+ million and I don't know what McGee's cap number is but if its substantial he could be gone too. So there's a lot of fat that could be dumped on this roster easily to make room for re-signings and additions next off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Raiders: $29,341 million Jaguars: $19.3 million Bengals: $19 million Browns: $18.5 million Chiefs: $18.1 million Titans: $17.2 million Buccaneers: $16.7 million -------------- Vikings: $13.5 million Seahawks: $13.7 million Eagles: $12 million Is this the result of being cap smart (frugal) or a a lack of effort to improve?

widerightradio Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 This should be where we see the "Mario effect" come into play, especially with Byrd--Gotta Billieve Mario makes it more attractive to stay. This cuts the other way too. Byrd could by thinking that he's undervalued due to a poor Bills pass rush. With our new defensive line, he could have a monster season and be due for a swank pay check.

NewEra Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If we can resign Byrd and Levitre before the season starts, I think it'll be one of, if not the best offseason in bills history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
