HOUSE Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Prior to training camp, general manager Brandon Beane spoke to media to address many of the most pressing topics for the Buffalo Bills. The Bills’ current cap space was brought up, but primarily in the context of the general consensus that Buffalo may want to add to the tight end group. Specifically, Beane was asked: “With the salary cap space that you do have available, do you foresee potentially something happening with a veteran player, perhaps adding to that position [tight end] before the start of the regular season?” https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2021/8/4/22608637/brandon-beane-wants-cap-space-ready-to-go-in-case-veteran-they-like-becomes-available-bills 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blainorama5 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Beane always seems to be prepared for just about any situation / outcome. At least that's how it appears from the outside - sounds like he wanted to make sure they maintained a cushion for any late training camp issue / injury / cost-cutting drop by another team. Wonder if that plays at all into the Josh contract issue ??? The cap experts will know way better than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I wouldn’t rule out a player trade where the bills absorb a higher cap number, hence using any extra space Beane was referring to. I don’t mean Ertz btw… but potentially I could see Beane moving OL/DL depth in exchange for a guy who could come in and fill a specific role they want. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 DT and DB are the most pressing need. One more veteran disruptive DT and another DB. Dane Jackson is getting beat too much for my liking and I'd like to see another DB in there at a shot a starting over Wallace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Says Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Beane tries to do this every year. Its a good idea to have that money in case somebody useful becomes available. I'm not worried about Allen because his new money won't kick in THIS season. Kind of sorry they missed out on Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not really. 🤪 I honestly don't think he's going to get dropped. The Iggles are going to pay him 8.5 million to be a backup on a team he wants to leave simply out of spite. Bizarre. When all the "Ertz to Buffalo" tornadoes were swirling around, I'm sure he was excited to get to play for a real contender with a MVP caliber QB as the TE1. Now he gets to play TE2 on a crap team with a crap QB who probably gets replaced by Joe Flacco by week 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I completely agree with the concept, the Bills roster is pretty strong all around, can't imagine any team giving up on a player and that player still being good enough to improve the Bills roster other than maybe Ertz. Maybe a backup OT as read Hart is struggling but even then would likely mean cutting either one of the rookies they drafted or Bates or Bottinger to make room for him??

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The only problem is we may have to outbid teams like the Jaguars and Broncos who have $25 Million+ in cap room. Our team's success makes Buffalo more attractive to free agents, but if the Jags offer a player a huge guaranteed contract, not many would turn that down.

Can't see many players out there good enough to improve the Bills roster overall, but another team giving up on that same player. Other than someone like Ertz. In other cases teams will usually just wait it out till he's cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyCallMeAndy Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I think with ALL the rumors, Beane randomly opening up the cap space, and the team randomly having Gillian switch from 86 to 81 (then to 41), the Ertz deal was actually very close to being official.
