Billsfanatic8989 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Anybody want to try and defend this guy? That's inexcusable. It's disrespectful to your fans, organization, and even the league as a whole. He won't find another job.

He will get paid but shouldnt count against the cap Expand I finally found how it works: retiring mid-season works the same as being cut mid-season, for cap purposes. The difference is that, if a player retires the team can go to arbitration to request the remaining cap hit be "refunded" - pro-rated salary and signing bonus, roster and workout bonus remain with the player, I believe. So Davis would still have a $4M cap hit being retired...but the Bills could claim relief for 7/8 or 29/32 (not sure if you can request a half-game refund) of his signing bonus plus guaranteed salary - call it three and a quarter million. Can't see the Bills losing that arbitration against a guy that walks out mid-game...so ultimately, his cap hit becomes just shy of a million. 2 6

His salary is guaranteed...but I can't find out if that guarantee holds if a player retires 1.5 games in to the season. And even if it does, that doesn't add up to all $5M. More like $4M and change. Expand 1 million was in incentives. That's why the Dead Cap is 4 million. I looked around for a precedent in "retiring" mid season but can't find one. I'm pretty sure the Bills on stuck with 4 million in Dead Cap. There may be a way through arbitration to get more back but I don't think so. That "arbitration" thing is usually used to get back future signing bonus money owed. If Bills take the 4 million hit they are the ALL-TIME DEAD MONEY CHAMPIONS.

rpmfla Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 So without Vontae the Bills become the 9th oldest team instead of the 7th? 1
HalftimeAdjustment Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Look we are destined for the dead cap championship. Which means we have the lowest spending on actual players in the league right?
