Lurker Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 overall I think DW is doing a good job building this roster. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000479677/article/charles-clay-signs-offer-sheet-with-buffalo-bills "Buffalo's quarterback situation may be up in the air, but this is one of the most talented teams in football on both sides of the ball."

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 @AlbertBreer: Smart of Bills to inflate Clay's 2016 cap number. Suh's cap charge for '16 is $28.6 million. And Tannehill's '16 option costs $16.2 million. Can't they just restructure those deals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flomoe Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thank you Terry Warbucks for finally giving this fanbase something it's never had.....Deep Pockets I'm not saying Ralph never ponied up but the up front cash was always a sticking point and a hindrance overall ever since Free Agency started back in the nineties. Good ole Ralph had enough cash on hand to swing a big deal here and there but nothing like what we've seen this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BLUES Brothers Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 So, I take an hour break from the board and then the news hits. Unbelievable. I had to laugh since it happened to me too... Just in from a little after work fun and Happy to see the Progress! If this works out - I will always associate St. Patrick's Day with Clay-Watch 2015! I have been glued All The Time too ~ On Two Bills Dive constantly (seen all of the 40+ pages), listening to WGR constantly from here in Rochester and listening on NFL stations while traveling last Wed-Friday in NY, MA and CT on Sirius constantly. Please sit back down dolphin fans (all 86 of you regulars in the sun life stadium) ... Thanks Mr. Whaley, Coach Rex and Cheers My Bills Brother Fans - & Go Bills!!

Kirby Jackson Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 What about Pistol Pete Metzelaars??? He had some nice seasons and was a better version of the "big" TE Chandler was supposed to be.

Wings and Beer Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm pumped by our moves this offseason, and thrilled by the cherry on top (sticking it to Miami). However, how does this upfront money effect our ability to resign next year's free agents, specifically Dareus? Salary Cap experts, coach me up...how do we stand?

truth on hold Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 some more help for the oline and Roman will have all the pieces he needs for a ground n pound, running/short to intermediate passing offense. Question: will they be able to use deeper threats like Goodwin and Watkins? Be interested how many times they threw the ball more than 20 yards with 9ers, and how that ranks vs rest of league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 @BuffaloWins: Dont compare TE contracts in years past because of inflation. Kyle Rudolph got a 5/36 in 2014 and career high is 53 Recs and b4 that was 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Best 2 things that have happened to the BILLS in the last 25 years, happened this football year: Pegulas took over and Marrone wimped out, tucked tail and left town. Rex / Roman with Whaley pulling the roster strings has altered the BILLS' destiny in a powerfully positive way unlike any other in more than two decades.

YoloinOhio Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 @hsimon62: if you are worried about the cap w/report that Clay's 2016 cap # will be around 12 million. don't worry. even w/dareus coming up (1/2) @hsimon62: as per http://t.co/TfHg2CvTtL, #Bills top 51 contracts in 2016 take up $109 million in space. some are projecting 2016 cap to be around 160m @hsimon62: Bills would have room to cover Dareus and Gilmore. Bills have till May 3rd to exercise a 2016 option on Gilmore which would cost 10M plus @hsimon62: they haven't touched mario williams contract yet and he has cap # of 19m plus. they can re-structure to clear more room if they want @hsimon62: great to have filthy rich owners who will spend whatever it takes including bonus money that lowers cap #'s to sign/keep key players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Can't they just restructure those deals? The option is a 1 year team option on the rookie deal. They'd have to sign him long term. The trouble with that being a high signing bonus to make sure it's a lie cap hit would take real commitment (not the year-to-year easy to cut contract mid tier guys are getting). Suh not only can, but it'd be SHOCKING if all haven't already agreed to it. @hsimon62: if you are worried about the cap w/report that Clay's 2016 cap # will be around 12 million. don't worry. even w/dareus coming up (1/2) @hsimon62: as per http://t.co/TfHg2CvTtL, #Bills top 51 contracts in 2016 take up $109 million in space. some are projecting 2016 cap to be around 160m @hsimon62: Bills would have room to cover Dareus and Gilmore.

If we spend 200m cash this year we simply can't spend as much the next few. Id guess a wide majority can sign the checks we are - including ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 That seems like a lot for a tight end. But then again, we haven't had a really good TE since.......Remiersma? Nope. Metzelaars? Not really. Tony Hunter? Didn't stick around. Keith McKellars? Biggest contribution was his initial for the K Gun. Over 50 years and we're getting the best guy at this position we've ever had, unless I just can't remember who else might have been better.

Rob's House Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm glad we got him, but that's a lot of cap space he's going to tie up for the next few years. Hope he lives up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
