nucci Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Can't we just restructure Clay next year like we were afraid the Dolphins would do to match? You can but the cap number drops in year 3. So no need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 You can but the cap number drops in year 3. So no need. True, the author laid out a decent case in the article that we might have to make some decisions, but I'm not too worried. However it is nice to know it is an option.

Or, add a little more depth at LB, DT, S or TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 4.3 million would be enough to sign Spikes and possibly Dwan Landry depending on how much each go for. Use the remaining money to sure up the depth of the defense and then go after a Guard in round 2 and a tight end in round 3. Use the rest of the draft to build depth.

NoSaint Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Whaley comments from AZ regarding cap: "we're tapped out; at point now where we've got to save for the draft choices and injury replacements." ie - not any good value spots here but.... id imagine if it was the right fit, at the right price, theyd find a way.

Nanker Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Whaley comments from AZ regarding cap: "we're tapped out; at point now where we've got to save for the draft choices and injury replacements." So, they've shot their load - so to speak. Now let's see if they've spent their money wisely. It's been a long time since The Bills have gone all-in at such a level. Good times. Good times.

Their "cap space(w/top51& Projected Draft Pool)" number is really quite irrelevant as it is. It looks to be that our cap space for rookie signings is only reduced by under $0.2M.

Dibs Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thigpen (660K)? That number seems reasonable for a low level FA signing. With Harvin signed now, I would think there is a decent chance that Thigpen could be cut....with no dead cap ramifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt thigpen sticks, realistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
