clumping platelets Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 With the franchising of Nate Clements and release of Mike Williams, I have the Bills $4,771,908 under an "estimated" salary cap of $93.5 million with $6,760,392 "dead cap" Much will be happening in the next few days, thus I will not likely update cap page until after start of FA.

OnTheRocks Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 what date do teams have to be under the cap? as i understand it, the Bills could sign (for example) LeCharles Bentley next Friday and put themselves over the cap by 10 Million. at what date do they have to release other players and juggle other contracts to get under the cap?

bills_fan Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Not nearly enough. Methinks Moulds is going bye-bye. I think EM re-does his deal and stays. He can provide us with another 3-4 mil in relief. Thanks clumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Just using my own jugement here, 4.7 is probably only enough to tender our free agents, re-sign our RFAs and get our draft picks under contract. So basically more cutting has to go if we want to make any FA splash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 bye, bye Milloy! How about we not cut guys whom we have no replacements for? Lets cut Bennie Anderson and some of the other dead weight first (possibly Posey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumping platelets Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Teams must be cap compliant March 2nd at 4pm NY time. More moves are coming......I wouldn't get nervous about "cap space" Tendering RFAs & EFAs will only cost about $2 million after adjusting for top 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 The way it stands now with the cap figure, we would be fielding a full team with roughly maxing out the cap. Any FA signings and draft choices will be replacing a player on the team so the extra amount in the cap is used to cover the amount that the FA will make more than the person they are replacing. So if you find someone to replace MW for less than what we save, that difference will get added to the cap savings we have. If we sign someone for more, than we have to take money out of the cap savings. I was under the impression they have til their last cuts in the preseason to get under the cap.

John from Riverside Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 The Moulds situation is going to get taken care of one way or the other......and there will be cap space savings..... Nate isn't going to sit on that 1 year tender.....I bet the bills will either work it out or trade him...and I still think we can get a 1st rounder for him...

So basically more cutting has to go if we want to make any FA splash. 610758[/snapback] they say a team needs to have about 4-5 mill left just for the draft, we might need a little more since we have a higher pick and an extra 3rd rounder, not counting in any compensatory picks we might have. So no, its definitely not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfladave Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I was under the impression they have til their last cuts in the preseason to get under the cap. 610772[/snapback] Only the top 51 player salaries for a team count against the salary cap in the offseason. The offseason for 2006 officially starts March 3. During the regular season, all player salaries count toward the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumping platelets Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Cap space to sign draft choices can be found later in the off-season.......right now the Bills can create, in some fashion, any cap space they need to re-sign FAs, make remaining tenders, and sign UFAs......
