freester Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 With Eric Woods retirement the trade of Marcel Dareus and inevitably tyrods release. Where are we with the cap? Is signing Cousins even feasible? Who knows what will happen with Glenn and his huge cap number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemfield2622 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yep, it's all there. Even with all the dead money, the Bills enter the offseason with ~29 million in cap room. They would gain an extra 9.4 by cutting Tyrod. There are only a couple guys they could cut/restructure to gain some extra room, mainly Zo, Richie or Hughes. 2019? a whopping 92 million in cap room!

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Correct me if I'm wrong, but there also could be an increase in the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Barely anything due to 30 million in dead cap. With all the holes, it will be a struggle to even sign a guy to a Hyde type contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think there is enough available with cutting Taylor, perhaps a couple others (Glenn, Hughes), an/or restructuring some guys. With an increase in salary cap we could still sign Cousins for about 25M, and Lotulelei 8-9, Gaines 3-4, and still be have room for low level and draft choices.

He's going to get 8-9 mil per year... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a pretty strong chance TT is cut, add almost $10M to the cap space..., they have enough space to sign a bunch of draft picks and pick up a few FA's.

That's up to Beane. How do we expect to fill multiple holes through the draft? With draft picks. How to get a QB? Either draft or FA. We are NOT going to sign Cousins, I'm pretty confident in that. Likely a lesser tier FA. We may not fill all our holes the way we want to this offseason, that's probably not unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Dead cap is the cost of new regime. Beane said this week he doesn’t expect the dead cap to be where he wants it until 2019. They still appear in better shape than they’ve been in recent years when they would be like 7-9 and up against the cap. They had a winning record, made the playoffs, and have more draft capital and cap space than I can remember. I do not expect them to sign Cousins so I’m not worried about that taking up a big chunk.

FearLess Price Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 If theyre worried about the cap, than Tyrod and Glenn will probably be the 1st players moved to other teams or cut for cap relief. Wish em both the best if they get the pink slip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have seen that much before being constantly hurt this season. But that was a knock coming into this year on him. His health. I could see him signing a prove it deal more than I can see some team laying 9 mil a season on an effective yet easily injured CB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing that could limit the market for Gaines is that he’s somewhat scheme-specific. He’s good in McD’s D but I wouldn’t put him in, say, a secondary that plays mostly man like Rex’s.

Hes been injured a lot and I don't think they want to deal with that and pay him a ton of money. Dawkins played well in his absence. If one could play well at rt that would be great, but I think they will try to move him for picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so early but it makes so much sense for this to be a part of a trade up. Say the Giants make that trade Cordy, grab some linemen at 21, 22, they could be back in the Super Bowl next year. I know you have to grab the franchise guy when you can, but if Eli is going to play 3-4 more years then there is no need.
