RuntheDamnBall Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 More dead cap $ sucks for the Bills. It does suck but I guess at least it's all absorbed this season before the great El Pegual spend-a-thon of 2015.
Kelly the Dog Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 More dead cap $ sucks for the Bills. I hear ya. My point was that is the kind of guy he always was. He signed with the Seahawks for two years at $8m. He signed with the bills last year for one year at 3m. It wasn't like this was the first time he had money. He didn't look all that great from what I remember at Seattle until game time in the regular season and playoffs and then he turned it on. He didn't wow anyone last year in preseason and then in the regular season was a solid contributor, enough to re-sign him as a backup for over 3m again. I'm not sure anyone could have predicted this.
Best Player Available Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 More dead cap $ sucks for the Bills. Were #1 now I believe a tad over 25 million. Now that is good front office caponomics.
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Were #1 now I believe a tad over 25 million. Now that is good front office caponomics. Still don't understand why Fitz's money still counts on this year. Stevie's money… that sucks.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 24, 2014 Author Posted August 24, 2014 @mikerodak The Bills will save $1.9M against their cap by releasing Alan Branch, and will have $1.55M in dead money in 2015: http://es.pn/1AuTmD7
Best Player Available Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Still don't understand why Fitz's money still counts on this year. Stevie's money… that sucks. I thought for some reason known only to them. they forwarded Fitz's hit to this year?
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 I thought for some reason known only to them. they forwarded Fitz's hit to this year? Yeah. It's that "reason" that I am looking for. Seems… asinine? Near-sighted? Crippling?
Reed83HOF Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Yeah. It's that "reason" that I am looking for. Seems… asinine? Near-sighted? Crippling? IIRC, there was no good reason to do that as we had the space to absorb it all at once
Marshawn's 20 bucks Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Did Fitz's deal not have offsets so that the Tenn and Houston deals come off of what the Bills are paying him? I hope that Branch's deal does!
Kelly the Dog Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Yeah. It's that "reason" that I am looking for. Seems… asinine? Near-sighted? Crippling? The Bills are not going to be in danger of going over the cap. The dead money really has no effect on anything this year. You could say it could open up money to re-sign some players but there really aren't any that I think the team wants to do now. Spiller doesn't have an agent and you want to see what he does this year. Dareus you need to know if he can stay out of trouble. Hughes is really hard to do now because of money tied up on DL and he has had one good year. Cordy still has two years left. And if they wanted to sign one of them they easily could right now.
Ohiostyle Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 What do you suppose we could have got for him prior to camp? A fifth or sixth? He more than serviceable last year, and a lot of teams need that at DT.

davefan66 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Tired if these guys who act like this. They are given free transportation by the team if they need it. Probably past his curfew anyway. Came into camp out of shape and was probably in trouble of making the team anyway. Someone will give him a shot at some point. Edited August 24, 2014 by davefan66

Helpmenow Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 That only leaves Mrs. Wilson with 895 million now
HOUSE Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Man, Cheektowaga has the worlds most expensive drinks Probably $3.3 million per bucket of beer. I hope it was worth it Edited August 24, 2014 by HOUSE
3rdand12 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 blownut! Branch that is . and a black eye for whaley really. Boo! Boo
26CornerBlitz Posted August 24, 2014 Author Posted August 24, 2014 Wonder if Pettine makes a play for Branch. He was pretty effective last year.
l< j Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Puking with a .14 BAC, what a lightweight. I think you got it backwards. Dude emptied his guts of alcohol and still blew a .14. kj
