Chuck Wagon Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I can see them maybe going after the we Pryor or maybe even Hightower. Pryor appears to be going back to Cleveland. Titans were projected to blow Hightower away among other teams. Jeffery appears to be going to the Eagles. Unless someone has better information, I don't see any rumors with us and anyone else out there right now, we are probably waiting for the market to cool down to sign a handful of warm bodies at need positions with the hope that some hit.

Tsaikotic Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Sal Capaccio Verified account @SalSports 23m23 minutes ago I have the Bills about $26M under the salary cap right now after all the moves made or reportedly about to be made. 1 reply 4 retweets 6 likes as you can see, Sal says $26mil after the signing of the FB's,K,G and whatever else they did the past 2 days...now subtract $6.5 mil for draft picks..leaves them with about $19.5 mil for more FA's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie's Bills Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Most of our signings are cheap. Should have money to fill a hole or 2 before the draft. Tyrod restructure- frees up $6M Tolbert- 1y/$1M DiMarco- 2M/yr Hauschka- probably $2-3M? Ducasse sucks so hopefully nothing more than $3M per. Cutting Aaron and Easly frees up 2.5M. I would look to sign a RT (Reiff?) and a speedy OLB (Z. Brown gone already? If yes then someone similar). Whatever allows us to focus on S/CB/WR in the draft. Edit: Maybe a vet S like Byrd would be a good guy to take a flier on too. Edited March 9, 2017 by Mikie's Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Go after a RT and a Safety. There are no good OT options in the draft and they need two safeties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well we need safeties, at leastanother linebacker,rt, wr, and cb. Not to mention we have to pay our rookie pool that makes the top 51. Also likely they try to get a vet backup at qb. Correct....we have a roster to fill out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_with_it Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Correct....we have a roster to fill outNot just fill out the roster we need true starters at those positions, lb, cb, both safeties, wr, and rt. Thats likely why we need 30+mil in cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsaikotic Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) names Ive seen connected to Bills from the past 2 days are..WR Aiken, TE Cook and TE Bennett......if they sign Byrd I would expect to see Graham released and they go with Byrd and rookie...I would like to see a RT seeings Ol very weak in this draft Edited March 9, 2017 by Tsaikotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Who is out there and who are we looking at????? Like a ton of people and if you seen 3-4 of those mid tier guys the money can tighten up quick. Add a corner, safety, lb and wr and that number gets down to a reasonable spot quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If we could somehow get Pryor,and leave the rest to the draft,that's a job well done this year. Lb,and secondary this year as it's loaded. QB and Oline next year,while adding depth to the dline. That'd be the ideal plan to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcoam Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 You ask a good question, while it seems like our Bills are doing alot of great work freeing up cap room, releasing players, and the TT renegotiation, there is no point if they don't use the money freed up to acquire decent starting players Sure, I get that we have to find depth to make up the 53 roster, and they will take up some cap room, but there seems to have been room to have either re-signed one of Zach, Gilmore, or Woods, and or say one bigger ticket FA's to replace one of em Sure, I am in favour of signing less FA's than we lose to get an extra high 3rd round pick in 2018, but at the same time not in favour of losing 4-5 starters this FA, and not replacing some with FA's, because you only have so many draft picks, and all will start I especially would love to see sign one of a starting RT, S, CB, or WR that got released, because that would not affect the 2018 comp pick, Marshall would have been nice and less expensive than Woods, I love the FB signing, he was released, so again no comp pick affect Oh well... jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipers Hair Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Why are we freeing up all this cap room? That number includes taking off $6,315,953 for our draft pool. Is there someone we are looking at signing or trading for? http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/ To Sign Dant'a Hightower, John Cyprian and Captain Munnerlyn, (just cause his name is cool...)
