Bills 7.9 Million Over the Cap per Spotrac - Restructures Coming?

I've been keeping an eye on this, as they had us just slightly over the cap on the Top 51. I figured maybe there's something small that they didn't know about. And that we'd cut or trade some people that would free up some space. But we didn't move on from any potential cap clearing players. Now that we've moved from 51 to 53 and paid the Practice Squad, we're listed as 7.9m over.

 

Either there's some restructures coming, there's been one or more that we aren't aware of, or some type of other transaction will have to occur. As we not only need to be cap compliant, we'll have to come up with at least a couple million more for in season spending.

My guess is the Bills will figure it out just fine.

I guess so ? Is there another option ? Who would they cut to free up the money? I assume if a trade was to be had , they would have made it..

Pretty sure restructuring Dawkins frees up like 9 million in space. That seems like the most likely posibility but there are plenty of other option to make room without cutting anyone

Dawson knox being the 3rd highest cap hit on the team is still mind bending to me.

This is a typical reminder that Spotrac is a phenomenal site, however whatever number they have listed is usually a bit off from the number Beane has on his desk. 

 

That said I'm sure there will have to be a few moves made. Dawkins restructure is almost a given.

I agree that it's usually a little off. But they're very up to date with everything that's made available to the public. 

 

So that means between the number they have of everything that's out there and the number we have to be at with a little in season pool, there's 10m+ or so that isn't accounted for.

 

Which is more than just a little off. Which makes me wonder if a restructure has been done that we don't know about or one or more is coming.

Likely Allen gets cut!
