Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) We're definitely broke right now but I'm guessing tomorrow we hear the Bills extended and restructured some players. Clear up about $20 million so we can sign a pass rusher and CB. Oh, and a punter. Edited March 14, 2021 by Buffalo_Stampede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 The Feliciano deal tells me that their next move will be to restructure Diggs and some other guys...not pay cuts but transfer salary to signing bonus and kicking it down the road 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Restructure a couple of deals, tender Wallace, sign Bojo, and make a play for Kyle Rudolph. Then sit back and wait for the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys will be lucky if they sign for much more than the vet minimum. Sucks for them that their contracts expired in a down 8% cap year. They’re all pretty replaceable.

CNYfan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I think Wallace is somewhat under rated here. It seems like he is pretty good. Remember the Bills did not pressure the QB successfully this year and that impacts the back end. This is not a bad player. If McKenzie goes, and with John Brown gone, there isn't much speed on that offense. McKenzie made plays. He caught a touchdown in the AFC Championship game and had a 3 touchdown game. If McKittrick goes now you need two new guys, at least, who can pressure a defense with speed. That is the argument for keeping IM19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Think we all know a vet TE through back channels has reached out to the Bills about playing here we somehow need to clear up about 10 mill more which is easily done though restructures...we get a TE and DE and then head to the draft with best player approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I think it's funny that every single time we resign one of our guys (Milano, DW, Mongo) the reaction is "WELP!!! There goes Free Agency!" Beane will sign some Free Agents... probably one fairly "big" one. Haven't you guys figured out he's a Wizard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that’s the smart way to play it. After the Jags, Jets and Bengals, etc. overpay for some of the top free agents, there’ll be less money for the others.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 1 hour ago, RyanC883 said: how much do we have left now? As of 10 pm Sunday, Spotrac appears to have the Mario Addison giveback captured, but not the Feliciano signing, and says we have $10.1M of cap space left. The Feliciano deal is reported to be 3 yrs/$17M or average of $5.6M/yr, but given how Milano and Williams contracts were structured it may actually only impact the cap by $3 or 4M So, guesstimate would be we have $6-7M remaining at present. My desireability of remaining FA signings: Corey Bojorquez Ike Boettger Levi Wallace Isaiah McKenzie Dean Marlowe Bojo, Boettger, and Wallace were all UDFA so even though they're RFA, an original round tender wouldn't give us anything. A second round tender is $3.4M. A right-of-first-refusal tender is $2.1M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 10 hours ago, RyanC883 said: how much do we have left now? The available cap space number is not that important right now - for the Bills at least. They have several easy places to create space, which would be restructures of several large salaries this season. They’ll be doing that as they need the room. If we see 2 or 3 of those happen, then we are about out of space for significant moves. 6 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: 4 pm, but tomorrow is just "official tampering".

davefan66 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Can’t expect a big splash with our current cap numbers. Need to restructure a few deals to make space. Interesting Beane hasn’t done so yet. I know, trust the process. We are a few players away. Hate to see us lose any of our UFA and RFA’s and have to replace them, along with adding pass rush. If we don’t sign McKenzie, Roberts will be a huge loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
