It's simply current on roster players with agreed contracts for next year The usuable cap space is close to $50m for signings realistically Edited September 27, 2018 by Mountain Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap is the cap for everybody. The Jets have 100m, yes they have players they may want to resign or draft their cap # is 100m. If they signed Bell for 14 per they would still have 75 left. The question is how it fits in down the road and does it end up as a pain in the cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YodaMan79 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 ? Cory Clement isn't chopped liver. I forgot about Bennett. Certainly, some duds there. Not PSU bad though. Have you seen Taylor play? I'd say he's the best of the bunch that will have come from Madison. Also, my guess is Wisconsin has at least two guys on that line that would push for playing time on this roster NOW. My comment was said in jest. Highlighting you could have 3-5 future impact players for what Bell would cost for maybe two elite years. I'd also like one of the Watt siblings, but our luck would be that we get the Casy Matthews version. "Taylor set a major college record for a freshman with 1,977 yards last year, finishing sixth in the Heisman voting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebert19 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I started a prediction thread that this would happen and got laughed out of the place. If we win this weekend I think it's still very possible. 1. We have the cap space and maybe have found our QB 2. We are spending nothing on WR after this year so will draft one high. 3. D is young and solid. 4. Mccoy is old. Him and a pick for bell is better than most will offer. Instant contender next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Bills wish list: Draft Wisconsin linemen and their RB. We'll be saying Le'Veon who? Bell will easily be able to recoup that 15 million he lost sitting out this season by signing a huge deal in 2019. Bell could sign a deal with upwards of 40 million guaranteed in 2019. Bell will be two years older than he was in the 2017 season but he will be coming off of a year where he wasn't injured and logged 0 wear and tear. He is preserving his future value by not playing for a team who only has 2018 in his interests. If you are in a market paying for future production then avoiding the risk of a team running you into the ground for one season is probably a smart idea. Bell is avoiding the scenario where he collects that 15 million but gets hurt and loses the value of a future contract. Even if Bell signs a 30 million dollar guarantee that's double the guarantee he currently has with much less risk. His representation is giving him the right advice. He played on the franchise tag last year and played out his rookie deal all at high levels of production. Now with his team having little recourse but to fine him he is not having much at risk.

He has been my favorite Bill to watch since he got here, but with Allen in his rookie deal we have to look at the future and over the next four years, not just this season with McCoy. Obviously you would only do it with some understanding of resigning. I don’t know how that works if he hasn’t signed his tender yet. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like the teams that should be out front on this should be Indy, and Houston. NYJ have the money but realistically dont think they have the team to be one or two players away.

aristocrat Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I’d only do it if he would sign long term. But we’d have to rescind the tag and sign him which would risk him at free agency right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I want no part of Bell. I don't even like what the Bills are paying McCoy. I'd much rather have my RB by committee, with lower draft picks or free agents (Murphy, Karlose Williams, guys you can find like Fred Jackson..etc), and spend those extra MILLIONS and MILLIONS of salary cap money on a couple of O-Lineman or someplace else. I'm not saying I do not like McCoy or Bell, just I till thinking you are better off allocating that money in other places and have the RB position be a position you get by with less.
