jahnyc Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Very interesting. Assuming that Schobel does not play this year for the Bills and some amount of his salary would not be categorized as "dead money," the Bills are by a significant amount the lowest salaried team in the AFC East.

No reason to overpay the mopes we have on the team. I'd rather work towards building a team than spend another 20 million just cuz. I think the low salary is more a result of our poor drafting and UFA signings the last decade resulting in no stars and frequent cuts, not a sign of stinginess.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Huge amount of dead money compared to our AFC East rivals. I guess Langston Walker figures in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be 'dead money' because Schobel will 'retire' and the team won't pay him or be responsible for that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Bills don't have much dead money because they practice cash-to-cap. When you remove the dead money, the Bills salary total isn't much different than the other teams in the AFC East. What we pay our current players is about what they pay theirs. This is a bad thing - we are paying nearly the same for a less talented team. However, because we don't have dead money, the Bills have more cap space. Just haven't been able to find any worthwhile free agents to spend it on. Maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Say what you want about Evans, but there is no excuse for him making more money than Randy Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Say what you want about Evans, but there is no excuse for him making more money than Randy Moss. He doesn't ...... he makes about 4mil less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought would happen. Maybe with some of that money the Bills can get Troup and Spiller signed soon and they can start to practice.

Buftex Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I thought that too at first, but the article says we have $27,279 while the others are in the millions. The Bills haven't really signed any significant free agents over the last 2 or 3 years, beyond TO, who only had a 1 year deal. I would guess that a significant amount of the "dead money" other teams have, is from FA's that didn't pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 He doesn't ...... he makes about 4mil less FALSE LEE EVANS: Signed a four-year, $37.25 million contract extension through 2012. The deal includes $18.25 million guaranteed. Averages to 9.31 mill/yr with 4.56 mill guaranteed/yr http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...t=nfl&id=26 RANDY MOSS: three-year deal worth $27 million. the deal included guarantees of $15 million Averages to 9 mill/yr with 5 mill/yr guaranteed. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3274806. - The only way Moss makes 4 mil more than Evans is basically Moss hits every one of his incentives, and Evans doesn't hit any. Either way its absurd to think they two players nearly identical contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
