Logic Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 33 minutes ago, BADOLBILZ said: I know we have some people on here who can't understand the salary cap.............you obviously being one...........but if you add $20M to the available cap space of every team it doesn't alter the Bills buying power relative to the rest of the league. Salaries would just be higher. It's not that complicated. Keep in mind that the "terrible" cap situation that McBeane claimed to inherit was a team with *only* $30M+ in cap space going into the 2017 offseason. In a market where the buying power is $20M higher per team..........Beane would be in the exact same position he is now relative to the rest of the league.........it's ridiculous to claim that Beane and the Bills were more adversely affected. There is no logic to your line of thinking at all.......which is another example of why I mock your screen name. 😉 Mock all you want. It doesn’t mean much coming from a chronically arrogant know-it-all such as yourself. Have you EVER been wrong about ANYTHING? Tell me something: how many helpful free agents can you sign if you have $0 in cap space? How many can you sign if you have $20M in cap space? Right. Gonna sit here and say that the COVID situation shrinking their cap space from $20M to $0 had no impact on the Bills’ ability to sign players and then accuse ME of lacking logic? Sure, bud. Go try your tired schtick on someone else. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenson will get a shot but man he disappointing as a rookie. I went to one of the early public camp practices and he looked shaky there, feet moving constantly and he had trouble settling under the ball. Hopefully he will put some quality time in this offseason with the jugs machine. Looked to me like he ran a little high and I was worried about him fumbling although I don't remember him fumbling. Some competition needs to be added to the roster anyway, maybe a vet and a rook. Seems like there's plenty of Stevenson clones in the draft this year.

Go try your tired schtick on someone else. If you add $20M to each team's salary cap...........then $20M is just the new zero. The cap is malleable.........right now the Bills project to have $54M in cap room for 2023..........they can easily use that room and space in 2024 etc.. to sign useful players. That will increase with cuts........and go down with the $10M Oliver option.........but it's a pretty good idea of very readily available room to add "useful" players now. The issue is whether or not the Bills self-impose a limit by not re-strucuting deals to push the cap hit into 2023..........in which case careless spending on ST and role players becomes a NOW problem rather than just a bad tendency that limits them over time.

Growing up we lived in northern Michigan in the summers; drank Stroh’s cuz they didn’t have Labatt’s up there yet. Dollars to donuts that Ralph drank Stroh’s, though. If I’ve ever had a UC it was probably someone else’s that I picked up by mistake… Edited March 11, 2022 by Rhode Island Red Gobbledygook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I'm also against spending money on guys that strictly play Special Teams. That being said, why do we waste money on Punters ? ... we have JA17, no need to punt the ball. Also, I want to be the first to criticize what we've done in FA.
