Motorin' Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Does this free up cap space for another Vet FA? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Might as well do it as we can carry anything unused forward anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 why would they wait 4 more days to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Find a way to get Patrick Peterson. It feels like there is too much pressure on Tre White playing outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Spotrac shows the option as guaranteed for both of them. Not sure I understand the mechanics at play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are likely waiting to trigger til they need the cap space for a signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Peterson and Justin Houston would be solid vet additions. (as would a healthy, reinvigorated Ertz). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 As Andrew Brandt tweeted earlier today, NFL will not approve transactions if you don't have the cap space, so we need to do all of this stuff (extend Hughes a year or 2 to drop the hit, add 2 yrs $40 m to Diggs etc) before we can make moves... This all better be happening. I think we may be able to restructure on top of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need Peterson more than any UFA out there. There is STILL way too much pressure on White being the only CB who is capable of covering someone man to man on the outside. And White's play fell off a little in 2020 because of it. Peterson puts White back to being one of the top 2 CB's in the NFL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'm not going to pretend to understand this crap. Is there any downside to the team or player in doing this ? If not why wouldn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You push cap hits down the line, but even with us needing to pay Allen, the cap will likely explode in coming years and we have 4 big contracts coming off the books next year on our DL.

But if this is reducing the Bills 2021 cap hit, wouldn't they then be going from a little cap space to more cap space? If so then whats the issue with the NFL not approving it?
