Punching Bag Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The Bills will have a lot of cap money but not enough good FAs to spend it on. Which player(s) have contracts worth restructuring to move more of the money into 2019 leaving more money for future needs? As far as I understand the current CBA restricts ability to restructure/lengthen rookie and I believe 2nd year contracts so it will not be any of players Coach McD and Beane drafted.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'd offer Hughes and extension and also McCoy. In McCoy's case at a reduced incentive based deal for maybe 3 years and that he can easily be cut if he doesn't make certain incentives. If McCoy says no to it, then you release him. While McD and Beans both stated they want McCoy back (At this time of year talk is cheap) they didn't necessarily state they want him back on the current contract either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Jerry Hughes I wonder if they might consider doing something with Shady McCoy that is more cap friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRA3196 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 IF they cut Clay, restructure both Hughes and Shady's contracts for the next two years, I believe they would be in a great position going into FA this offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyWhiteShows Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 They probably won’t need to restructure any deals. They have the highest projected cap space for 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Redoing means giving the player more guaranteed money, making it harder to cut him later. And with $90M in cap room in 2019, they don't need to make any moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can move some spending into 2019 if they choose and then give lower salaries later years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Quint Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Extend Phillips and Hughes. Do the 5th yr option on Shaq if they still want to see what he has. Otherwise extend him, too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I do hope we do not handcuff ourselves in the future with dumb contracts this year- i hope we move as many payments as possible into 2019 and allow savings into future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I mean, the last thing we need is more cap space. We are good. We will probably have a tough time spending enough of what we already have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the Bills have going for them is cap room, he seems to like it in Buffalo and the chance to face the Dols twice a year.

peterpan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Heres an idea, go after a superstar free agent like say Clowney, his contract would likely be say, 6 years 100 million with 60 guaranteed.....but structure it so the 60 guaranteed is all up front in 2019. Then for the next 5 years you have a stud that is costing you peanuts. incentivize Hughes to sign an extension by increasing his pay for 2019 but not more money in future years. Use the cap up that way. The idea being you want to spend all of your cap space every year but you dont want to screw yourselves in future years. If you have to cut a player, theres no dead money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
