Correct.  Definitely possible to make a splash move, have the draft, let the above-mentioned go, sign draft picks, and still have $10M left for in-season moves

 

Without being too difficult (and lazy) do you have a rough estimate of what 2020 will look like then? I would think that the Bills are still in a good position.

Assuming no cuts and a $10M cap increase, and accounting for 2019 draft picks, before any additional moves you're probably looking at $80M in space heading into 2020

I have to think the Bills are MOSTLY done spending. They'll likely add a couple more cheap, complimentary depth pieces, but that's about it.

The ONLY thing I can see throwing a wrench in the works is if they decide to spend big on a pass rusher, either Ziggy Ansah or via a trade.

I'm thinking it's going to be more like $12M-$15M, but yes, probably puts them only slightly above what I said.

Yeah, still means they would only have enough for one more big get.

In that situation, and it's tough to predict now, does 2020 mean more splash signings or locking up our own players?

Good question.

 

They really don't have too many players to re-sign in 2020.  They could extend Tre White, though he'd have 1 year on his contract AND a team-option year for 2021. Milano, Poyer, and Dawkins will head into 2020 on the final years of their deals, so they could be candidates as well.  I suppose you could look at Jerry Hughes and Jordan Phillips too if you really wanted to...so I guess I say all of that to say that I expect a few big signings in 2020.

 

Obviously things will change, but all of the tagged pass rushers like Lawrence/Clowney/Clark could be available.  There's also guys like AJ Green and Bobby Wagner.
