Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Apparently Bills don't have enough cap space to process some contracts and need to create space. So as we've all been talking about there's still moves to be made with current contracts. For whatever reason they're waiting to finalize whatever moves they're going to make. Is it strategy? Maybe some players they've asked for cuts wanted to see the market 1st? But either way some moves are coming. Quote As it stands now, the Bills don’t even have the cap space to process the Feliciano or Trubisky contracts according to Spotrac, who says they have $1.1 million in available room (ithout accounting for the Tyler Matakevich extension, which likely dropped his $3.7 million hit). Feliciano’s cap hit will be above $4 million and Trubisky’s is $2.5 million. That’s before Buffalo needs to account for signing rookies at ~$1.8 million in cap space.

Claiming that the Bills don’t have enough cap room to process contracts which they’ve already agreed to is complete conjecture. Garbage reporting.

You're saying he's wrong? I’m saying spotrac is a non-official cap website. They still have teams over the cap which clearly isn’t accurate. Claiming the Bills can’t process contracts they’ve agreed to because Spotrac hasn’t processed the numbers is garbage reporting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree , for a player to sign on the dotted line the funds have to be available. Edited March 20, 2021 by Bronxbomber21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFBillsfan Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I’ve been struggling to understand why our cap space is so tight? We have so many players on rookie contracts still. It seems like other teams have many more veterans on their teams at higher contacts. Tre, Milano, Star and Hughes are the highest on D, Diggs, Morse, D Williams and Dawkins on O.

Our DL for example isn't the most dominant but it's one of the most expensive DLs in the NFL. Edited March 22, 2021 by Buffalo_Stampede 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that they were gawdawful by the end of the season, but the ROI was puny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 To boot, Dawk, TreD and Diggs are a fifth of the cap alone at $40 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) I'm going to back out of this till all the details are public. It doesn't yet seem possible to know what we don't know about the precise financial state of the Bills. Edited March 22, 2021 by Thurman#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes - $7M ($450M contract/10yr) Jones - $8M ($80M/4yr) Kelce - $6M ($57M/4yr) Thuney - $4.5M ($80M/5yr) And I dont want to hear they are going into cap hell. Sportrac shows they will have $50M in space in 2022. How does that roster with a $450M QB and multi $50M+ other contracts seem to be in better shape than ours? At least right now the Chiefs only have 23 guys under contract for 2022, and they're listed at $32M under. And some of those 23 guys in 2022 are named Lucas Niang, Rashad Fenton, Darwin Thompson, Michael Danna, Bopete Keyes, Yasir Durant, Khalen Sanders and Tershawn Wharton. They are going to have to bring in a ton more guys 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I would guess Beane is still trying to trade some Bills to make cap room instead of just cuts. Very lucky Allen was not due a super contract yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NI Bills Fan Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Thanks yolo for posting, Greg Thompsett has been, for me, the best Bills reporter/podcaster when it comes to cap and roster construction this offseason and probably a few before it. Always a good listen. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Costa Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Over the cap has red dirt at 2.95M. Disappointing to say the least. I think there up to date and have Bills at + $525,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
