Captain Caveman Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Link I'll refer to this as "The Ralph Wilson Rule", they figure he'll sell or lay down within a few years & didn't want him to have a stroke spending profits. Yous should probably create more threads.
Scrappy Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Yous should probably create more threads. Did you know this to be the case ?? All I have ever heard & seen is that 99% BS, it's just not the case. This % deal is directly for the Bills, it assures them time for financial changes. You think all the major team will not spend to the max ?? So, get over yourself.

Not sure I understand your gibberish, but we've been spending cash to the cap. That's all that's required (beginning in 2013.) Edited July 30, 2011 by Captain Caveman
PromoTheRobot Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Link I'll refer to this as "The Ralph Wilson Rule". Maybe that's why they cited Kansas City as an example? PTR
Captain Caveman Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 The last year there was a cap (2009) we were about 7 mil under it, less than the 11% that will be required in 2013. http://www.askthecommish.com/salarycap/numbers.asp Keep starting threads.

Yeah using cash to cap...so in otherwords Buffalo management used creative cap managing to spend LESS than other teams in any given year. There are only two types of ownership in the NFL - those with a desire to win and those with other agendas. Guess where we fall? Until it changes it will be the singular most relevent topic in Bills land so yes please keep starting threads.
Scrappy Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Wow, more inane "Ralph is cheap" posts. Awesome. The common consensus here was we had to spend near the $120 Million cap, please tell me that is going to happen this year ?? Tell me how this team is going to raise the talent level without buying the talent ?? Maybe a hometown discount with Poz ?? Folks, we as fans aren't getting the best team possible fielded by financial choice. Please dispute this fact instead of generalizing to look smarter.

I mean can this be anymore obvious or does everyone just prefer to bury their heads in the sand (or snowbank)?

We drafted 3rd & went 4-12 last season, keep debating the obvious.
Cornerville Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Well memo to Bills fans: Don't get excited about the next few days or FA next year. Like that is really a surprise anyway

Because as we say with Clabo, offering more money ensures players come here, right? As for how to raise the talent level, outside of adding FA's, you can, say, develop your draftees.
UConn James Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) As for how to raise the talent level, outside of adding FA's, you can, say, develop your draftees. And now, with shorter rookie contracts --- 4 years to become an UFA --- we can watch said draftees walk (or run) away faster than ever once their time in Stalag Ralph Wilson Stadium is up.

We do develop them & then when they ask for their payday, we ship them off to other teams that are willing to pay them better than we ever will. And now, with shorter rookie contracts --- 4 years to become an UFA --- we can watch said draftees walk away faster than ever once their time in Stalag RWS is up. LOL, that is what I was thinking.
