clumping platelets Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Mike Williams hit his escalators.....his salaries for 2005-2007 are as follows 2005: $4 million (up from $726,875) 2006: $4 million (up from $967,500) 2007: $5 million (up from $1,208,125) I now have the Bills about $9.4 million under an estimated unadjusted salary cap of $86 million. This number includes Moulds restructure and Bledsoe eventual release, Still awaiting official salary cap number and cap adjustment Moulds only did a simple restructure: 2005: $1.5 million salary (down from $5.5 million) 2006: $6.089 million (same) 2007: $7.25 million (added) He converted $4 million from the salary and the $1 million reporting/roster bonus to signing bonus. He lost no money in this restructuring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clumping platelets Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 A couple of weeks ago (Thr 2/3), Dennis Williams on the 10pm sports report on WNYO, reported that the Bills has approached MW for a re-working of his deal. I haven't heard or read anything else about it MW cap numbers are: 2005: $9.17 million ($4 million salary, $2.17 million amort. , $3 million roster) 2006: same as 2005 2007: $7.17 million ($5 million salary, $2.17 million amort.) he also has a number of NLTBE's as well that could impact the cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! That boy needs to step up his play big time. I spoke with my dad recently and he said that he read in the Olean Times that Williams isn't budging at all on this. I think that Williams and Bledsoe have the same agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan III Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Most likely, but I do not have absolute info on the due date 240966[/snapback] According to lenny p's report DB asked to be released, hopefully, this will give TD and Dunn enough time to get a new deal for MW before 2/22, when Dunn will be working the phones for DB.

clumping platelets Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 Working on my cap analysis article, with no more restructures or releases, Bills will enter FA between $8-9 million under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Nice job CP. Why wouldn't the $2mil old amortized bonus be rolled into the new when Moulds' deal was restructured? That might not be possible - maybe they cover contracts of different length. Just curious. If his contract is up in '06, it looks like they'll have to tack on a few years to even begin to make it work. But that just prolongs the agony. I can't see one player taking up 12% of the whole cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace and Jones have smaller hits as "Franchise Players." MW picked up his game last year but he in NO Pace and he is NO Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your way off and for some reason not using the much publicized 85 mill cap for 2005. We are currently about 12 or 13 mill under and will go to 15 mill under with the Drew cut.

The old amort ($2 million in 2005& 2006) comes off the books after 2006 and his amort in 2007 is only from the new signing bonus he just received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obie_wan Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 . He lost no money in this restructuring 240937[/snapback] wow - what a surprise. At least he didn't take a pay "cut" like Drew and increase his pay from $6 mil to $8.75 mil. Boy - Drew's deal is looking better every day.
