Right... I know they do it for flexibility... $8M gives them a decent amount.

Pretty sure they had to do this to get under the cap.

 

Does the player get less money on this because of taxes?  As he would have to pay NY taxes on the full amount. Compared to splitting it amongst different states that they play in with lower income taxes? 

[buffblue]

Definitely seemed like a formality but I thought it would've happened sooner. Spotrac had the Bills as 31st in cap space. Not a lot of wiggle room

I think they might have done this last week to be under the cap at cutdowns and it has only been announced now. Because my maths had then over the cap.

I'm not sure - when you sign and get a signing bonus possibly?  But i doubt this changes his game checks for the season tbh.  

 

I know with Von his "pay cut" influenced how much he was fined because that is off of base salary, but I don't think moving cap space does much for actual cash flow in and out.

I thought maybe Myles Garrett was having a last-minute change of heart ughhhhhh 😭

[SoonerBillsFan]

Needed to be done.

[boyst]

inb4 we sign someone big 3 days before a game lol

 

justin simmons is still out there lol

[Shortchaz]

We will seemingly forever be right up against the cap 

[Blackbeard]

Most teams, including the Bills, will need to reassess personnel after a few games in.  Freeing up cap allows for the last minute signings, ala Amari Cooper, etc.

And a roster full of JAGs to show for it.

Better than a roster of jag-offs, like most of the teams that we beat up regularly.

Peppers?
