Yes, it is.   

 

That pesky "Rookie" Projected Draft Pool allocation eats up nearly $10 Mil.  

I'm hoping spotrac updates this asap so that we can get a better number  and cut out the guess work in the weeks to come

 

One thing that has to happen is Wood and then who do the Bills designate as June 1 cuts.

Jerry is the only high priced player left.   The others are McDermott / Beane guys so I don’t see them getting cut.  

 

Clay and McCoy could be restructured.   Both are very important imo

I meant the Bills can designate June 1 cuts for cap purposes to move some Dead Money to 2019.

Doh.    

There is room in 2019.  

Mortgaging the future works but I’m not a fan.    I did like cap to cash for that.  (If I understand that correctly).

Neither am I.  That being said some of Wood's hit is going to 2019 or they would have retired him already.

Probably a little of Glenn money too.

Spotrac should start to showing real numbers tomorrow, like you said.

The retirement thing is a head scratcher.    In that event pushing to 2019 makes sense.

The rookie pool doesn’t need to be 10 mil does it?  It’s gonna cost 10 mil probably but because of the rule of 51 it should only cost about 5 mil from what I’ve seen elsewhere 

No but that is the cap.  

 

Currently the two 1st rounders can cost $4.4 mil alone.

Do you have to account for the rookie pool into the salary cap now or just when they are signed after the draft?  

Only when signed.   

 

So yes the $10 mil is there now but needs to be “corrected” later.   

 

April 28th or there about.  So you get about 6 weeks to the draft and the how many weeks it takes to get them under contract.

Ok thanks, that's what I thought.  Was just wondering if they could make cuts/restructure after the draft if needed

Yeah but they bump out two players from top 51. That makes the first rounders more like 3.5 mill right?  Later rounds are not expensive at all. Over the cap has you 10 mil number but that just adds the cost of all the picks. I don’t think it considers the top 51. Is @BarleyNY around to give his thoughts on the cap cost of the draft?  I remember him having good insight last year.

There are set cap #s for each selection.   This cap has helped eliminate all or the rookie holdout and why they are basically all signed before preseason.

Yes camp fodder but fodder that counts agains the cap. So the the cap hit for each player is 500k less than this number. But yes this is what the rooks make

The top 3 all have contracts that expire in 2020 

 

restructuring could net just over $7 mil in cap space

Some of the contract figures have been added to spotrac database and the sum currently sits at  CAP TOTALS  -   $27,358,557  

 

There are still some "new contracts" not accounted for.   Kyle Williams 1 year $6 mil, Trent Murphy 3 year $21  lets call both a total of $13 mil  


That takes the cap space to Cap Space:   $14,358,557

 

unknowns Star Lotulelei, Owamagbe Odighizuwa  and  Logan Thomas

Mike RodakESPN Staff Writer 

Salary cap numbers for AJ McCarron's corrected deal: $3 million (2018) and $7 million (2019).

He gets a $3 million base salary in 2019 ($1.1 million guaranteed for injury; fully guaranteed on fifth day of 2019 league year) and a $1.9 million roster bonus in 2019.

Bills could release McCarron after the 2018 season and take only a $2 million dead-money charge.

Until the Bills cut or restructure some BIG contracts  it looks as if they've burned through what cap space they have beyond the rookie reserve.  

 

Mock me know and say that Spotrac still has us at $30 Mil, but when you add it all up, and dot the I's and cross the Tees   the well is nearly dry.
