But they wont spend to the cap (not to the full cap, taking into consideration cash to cap). The Bills have a certain amount of cash they are going to allocate for FAs. If they finally told Coles to take a hike, the cash they were going to give him with their contract offer can now be used for other things...such as signing Florence, June, Jones, etc.
Besides my "source" is still pretty confident that Coles will not be a Buffalo Bill.
