dollars 2 donuts Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Yeah, on paper we're not close to being better. But they don't play games on paper and there is a long time left in the offseason. Of course at this time last year, I didn't see any possible way why our defense wouldnt be dominant again with Rex running it. Whoops! On the field, I have a feeling that we might even be worse that what we seem on paper. At least what we had previously, including the players we lost, was a some what fluffy schedule that should have at least gotten us to the playoffs.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) No Knoghton has a current value of $1.4M per according to Spptrac. Brown is probably twice that Math They can't afford both right now even under your hypothetical.There is there is no extensions right now to manipulate the cap and teams are able to pick up any of these players. The most realistic situation is they land one player at best...but I doubt even that. Edited March 10, 2016 by BuffaloBillsForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll need $5M to sign draft picks That will come from extending Glenn and Gilmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Where do you see that extending Glenn and Gilmore is fact? Where has anything you've predicted regarding the salary cap been proven accurate? You're 0 for the off season so far. I'll stick with Bandit's understanding of the cap.

I'll stick with Bandit's understanding of the cap. I was the one that predicted 3 months ago they wouldn't be able to improve the roster because of the cap. Now there is a 7 page thread on it. Please tell me how they improved and will continue to improve this roster without the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsForever Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Incorrect. Please tell me. How can they improve this team? So it's your assumption that they won't? No. It hasn't happened and we don't know how close that it is happening...and while it hasn't happened they have no cap space to sign these mid-tier free agents you speak of. These free agents can be scooped up at any second with the billion dollars that is available to give to these players.

billsfan89 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think the defense will be better suited to work with the personnel along with the front office bringing in a couple of mid tier guys to help the defense out. The offense could get better through consistency of playing together and a QB having a full season under his belt. Overall I think we will look at this years and last years rosters differently. Last year after all the splashes and counting on an All-World defense to return there was a lot of optimism about the overall strength of the roster. This year the team retained the talent it needed and can focus on trying to rebuild the foundation of the defense. So the view of the team will be much more narrow overall.
