Well with Allen's restructure that puts the team under the cap in absence of other information. 

 

I'd imagine Dion's extension and Knox's restructure got us to the threshold. Josh then took us to around 16.5m under. Epenesa and Lewis' extension cut out 9. So we're probably close to 7.5m under give or take right now.

Well we need a few more so we can sign Ridley.  

It could be closer to 7 or 8 I’m just being a little conservative cause the number is usually lower than we think.  I’m not holding out hope for Ridley unless he wants to sign cheap.  I think it’s going to be all guys under the comp pick threshold now.

Spotrac has us over by 4,218,171 after Josh's restructure, but before the Dawkin's extension, the Knox pay cut, and the re-signing of Lewis, Morris and Epenesa.

 

We know Lewis' deal is 2 years for 4 million, but don't know the cap structure.  Morris is 985K, and my guess is the cap is the same.  Epenesa is a two year deal worth up to $20 mill with incentives and a base of $7 million in year 1.  the cap structure is still unknown.  The deal seems expensive to me.

I watched Ridley a fair amount last year, he was on my fantasy team, he was almost as frustrating as Gabe Davis, he’d disappear for entire games and had bad drops, for the money he’s probably looking for it’s a big NO THANKS for me.

Noah Brown had 567 yards on 55 targets. Gabe Davis? 746 yards on 88 targets. 

Yes that’s not exactly what I meant lol gabe Davis had a big chunk of wide open drops on those targets and likely had twice as many snaps or more 

 

those numbers being thrown around don’t really tell the whole story imo

Over the cap hasn't updated anything.

If that number is right, subtract Allen’s $16m and you get to $12m under. Then subtract Knox's $4m and you get to $16m under. Greg Tompsett said previously that if we extended Dion for roughly the value he got, we'd get $6.5-$7m back, so let's say we were conservatively at $22m before AJE and Daquan. We probably have at least $7m right now, maybe more depending on the structure of those contracts.

 

And to me it's a big deal that none of that needs to be set aside for draft picks considering the $10m we'll get June 1st from Tre.

 

We can play a little. And Taron still might be extended.

 

All a guess at this point

Putting Josh’s cap hit at 60M next season, which means he’s gonna get a new extension next summer which will make him the 2nd highest paid player in the sport 

Starting to hope all playoff games go to different ready to dish out big money streaming platforms so the salary cap keeps skyrocketing every year.  LOL.  Sure I'll watch a Wednesday night WC game exclusively on Pluto TV.

According to sporttac at this early hour, we are 4 mill under the cap before DQ's signing.  So we are pretty much out of money now.


Doesn’t include Dion extension, Knox paycut … Lewis, Epenesa and Morris signings … so we are guessing basically …

Good stuff as always Joe.  I'm out of it, 3:30 am here and I woke up at 2:45 for no reason and can't get back to sleep.  Love when this happens...

Yeah but it is not only before DQ signing. It also doesn't count AJ, Cam Lewis and Morris, as well as Dawkins extension and Knox redo.

I have no idea where we are cap wise. Too many unknowns. But I still think we have a major need for a vet safety before this first phase is through. Other than that I'm happy to wait it out - try and find a cheaper vet WR option and then look to the draft.

I'm giving day 1 of FA an A 

Brought back some important pieces on the DL. Made some key restructures , extended our pro bowl LT. 

Much more to come, while not flashy, Beane handled business properly.  Dude is an elite GM

It has been an excellent offseason so far for Beane. I think we’ll see a starting veteran safety added today or tomorrow. Then it’s all about adding depth pieces in free agency. I think they will trade up for WR2.

Well Beane has shown he'll trade up for his guy-Allen Edmunds Kincaid etc 

If we're drafting WR in Rd1 they better be more like a 1b than WR2. If not, then get one in rd 2, there's just so much talent at WR position

You know what I meant. Yes he’ll be eventually WR1.

Dean Retweeted it that is the only reason I put it here.

I dont know. 

 

Only put it here because Dean retweeted it.  I tend to trust Dean but maybe he got caught with one.

  • BuffaloBill changed the title to Bills Cap Status - See update 1st post - Bills currently $1.6 - $4.03 M over cap 3/12/2024 10:50 AM

Something’s gotta be off with the cap calculation or there are still some more moves still coming because we can’t field a full team right now cap wise according to the cap numbers last updated in this thread.  We wouldn’t even be able to sign any rookies, let alone fill out the rest of the roster.
