Bills Fan888 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) The Bills have $13m space with 2015 draft counted. Harvin and Clay not counted yet. I'd assume that Harvin and Clay take up the remaining cap space. So no guard unless we unload a couple more players.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'd assume that Harvin and Clay take up the remaining cap space. So no guard unless we unload a couple more players. Or rework some more contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If a better guard gets cut or becomes a realistic trade possibility, I can guarantee they'll find a way- they have proven it this offseason. Cutting Chris Williams is an option that will give them a little space. Then, there's always Mario if they want to make another big splash. That said, I don't think the line is as bad as people think- a couple more draft picks and some 2nd year player improvement and we're off and running.

NoSaint Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'd assume that Harvin and Clay take up the remaining cap space. So no guard unless we unload a couple more players. guard is still in play, if wanted -- if we sign one, williams is definitely gone and that offsets any hit.

KDIGGZ Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 i would still like to get a guard in free agency and then draft the best OL at 50. how much money do we have left in the piggy bank now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint's just have to do something with Jahri Evans ($11 million cap hit). I'm sure the Bills could offer a helping hand here... http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/cap/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 the $9,565,629 is BEFORE Clays $ have been tallied in. Doesn't Clay's deal call for a $12m cap hit this year? Seems when his numbers are factored in, we will be in the hole about $2.5m. Might be time to ask Mario for a little relief. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF4E keeps using the top 51 plus the rookie pool. without the rookie pool we still have wiggle room since they will all be very cheap (ie almost all being less than 51st highest paid, with our top pick probably being 2-300k more.... acounting for a 3m bump isnt needed) Edited March 19, 2015 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT in 4 weeks time you do have to factor that in. If I make a mistake otherwise I know you are here to correct them! :thumbsup: Edited March 19, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 2016 salary cap projection.... http://www.buffalorumblings.com/buffalo-bills-analysis-all-22/2015/3/19/8254541/buffalo-bills-2016-salary-cap-space-projection This is actually a pretty accurate breakdown. There are a few avenues to lower the hit next year he didn't explore (i.e. signing Gilmore long term), but it does illustrate some of the issues we'll face in the near future. More importantly, it illustrates these issues are, in fact, real -- and they won't go away by pretending Pegula has some mythical accounting powers that the other 30 billionaire owners in the league don't possess. The most glaring problem to me is that while we will be fighting to stay under the cap in the upcoming years, these figures don't allocate any future spending for anything more than a stopgap QB.
