Logic Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I agree with @Warcodered. Every year, Beane clears cap space right before the season and we all get excited for a trade acquisition or signing of some sort. Instead, as he has mentioned many times, he just likes to have a cushion in case he needs to sign anyone due to injury, and for other boring (but necessary) continegencies. I actually DO think there's a decent chance that OBJ could eventually sign in Buffalo, but I don't think that this cap maneuver has anything to do with it. 7 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddaryl Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Ok but Cody's cap hit was under $1 million.... Great to have more cash on hand, just didn't think Cordy was the reason Acording to https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/ We have $10 million in cap space counting the top 51 Edited August 25, 2022 by ddaryl 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might get you one replacement starter if we lose someone to injury. Edited August 25, 2022 by DrDawkinstein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we're already under the cap, we've had to be for a while now. 4 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: I think they give Poyer a pay raise this year to make him happy. Only reason to do that is to give him less money in later years in an extension. Edited August 25, 2022 by Warcodered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONce the season starts, the cap is no longer based on top 51, but 53 + PS (I believe). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus as @Warcodered states - he wants a cushion for the regular season because you may need to have additional IRs or other roster moves (maybe an OBJ type) that you need to add. Because it was Dawkins which was only 5.6 million - that screams to me - nothing is incoming this is just to get the roster in order and ready with a small buffer. If it had been a bigger restructuring then I could see a move coming, but not really from Dawkins. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
