GG Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 They are going to be sitting out of all of FA. They need 5MM to sign rookies. That is pretty much all the cap space they have IIRC. Losing a lot of depth and not gaining anything. This is concerning a bit to me. Getting a bit ahead of ourselves? There are still more contract moves coming, signing Cordy to a LT deal and possibly extending Gilmore that will free up another $5-$6 mil. Kyle Williams remains the wild card. Is he worth the $6.5 million cap hit? In any event, I wouldn't be surprised to see Devito as a Bill, who would provide quality NT play at a reasonable price. There is going to be much better value next week and even more later in the summer. The depth they lost is easily replaced by street FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FO have irrevocably savaged the roster in order to insure they have enough money left to have sprinkles on the doughnuts at all their meetings this year.

Not panicking, but hey lets take things to the extreme. The Bills did not make the playoffs as we all know. They have not gotten better yet. They lost some good depth. They have a limited number of resources to do so, much less than most other teams. A bit concerning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first week is always crazy. Do you think that Ron F'ng Brooks is worth $2 million/year? How much better was his play than Butler's, who clocks in at $600K? That's why smart teams sit out the first week, because it's crazy money that tends to harm teams over a long term. Bradham was a quality player, but his production is easily replaceable. Same for Leo, Charles & Hogan if he goes. The Bills' core is intact, yet all these moves pale to the main question of whether TT is a true franchise QB.

He's not vital to the Bills, but him playing for NE -- where I think he'll do well -- hurts the Bills. The rest of 'em? Yeah, no big losses. I liked McKelvin as depth, but nothing more than that. Bradham is a dime-a-dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm actually surprised someone has not given Corbin Bryant a look either especially with how tight our cap is. He started last year and has scheme versatility to fit in a 4-3 and 3-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Yes, a bit concerning, mainly because we are up against the cap, and we cannot count on being able to sign many free agents to replace the players that we have lost. The draft will not be able to fill all holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Well, they are counting on two that we didn't have all season- Wynn and likely Powell on the cheap as a resign. Still need to do something soon to start filling in depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) @mikerodak The Bills have restructured the contract of K Dan Carpenter, opening a small chunk of cap space. I’ll have more details soon. Bills K Dan Carpenter’s base salary was lowered from $2.025M to $1.775. The team might have also tweaked a $250k roster bonus due this week.
