Bills get more cap space today - 6-2-17


Recommended Posts

The Bills had $11.558M in cap space prior to today. Having cut S A. Williams the Bills will now have Williams' cap savings of $4.2M added to their total, which amounts to $15.758.

 

That total includes the top 51 players of the 87 total currently on the roster.

 

More cap space is always a good thing.

No excuse for not signing Barnidge now -unless the FO doesn't care for him. Also a Safety.

Throw some more incentive $ at Barnidge.

 

Honestly I don't think Barnidge has a chance to be a #1 TE, at this time. Maybe he is waiting for injuries to happen or to stay healthy himself.

 

But as it stands now I could see him starting 25% of our games cause Clay will be out or questionable. Even with Clay I can see Barnidge meeting the 40 receptions, 350-400 yds, 5 TDs.

 

I truly feel Barnidge may be equal too Clay. Clay is obviously better, but less dependable and never practices during the season.

Having $15.758M is a significant amount of cap space to have at this point.

 

The Bills need to be smart with it. It appears that they have the wherewithal to sign TE Barnidge, S Byrd, a CB, and a pass rusher if they so choose.

This and there is also a couple of veteran WR's out there if they still feel the need to address the position. The cap space is a good amount for us, all things considered.

So we could of easily afforded an extra couple of million for Mike Gillislee ! What a waste. Would be interested to know whether that was a Whaley decision or a McDermott decision.

 

And an absolute NO to Byrd. Suspect his foot injury might flare up again.

Um no to Byrd. He's been horrible for three years and held out with that fake foot injury his final year. Barnidge would be a nice addition if at a reasonable price. I think overdorff is on notice to get these contracts right moving forward.

This This This. I perceive him as a low character type of guy with that whole foot episode.

Whaley made no decisions this offseason.

Doesn't sound like we have enough cap room to get all 87 under the limit. Oh well.

does the approx 15 million (or the 12.3 million) allready account for this years draftee's pool?

 

Would really like to get the TE and another safety

 

It does as all rookie deals have been signed. Milano, Peterman, Vallejo all currently fall outside the top 51.
