I would stake McCoy on the bet that we don't sign another big FA now, especially Lou Potty. All in for the next two years, with little cap space the next two years. Good move? It's front loaded in cash not cap hit. Don't be a doofus here FC. His cap hit just cut in half this year

Wayne Cubed Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Boom! Massive cap savings. Let's break ir down for those who don't get it. $16 million salary of which $13 million is signing bonus, signing bonus cap hits are spread out over the entirety of the contract so that's $2.6 million a year hit this year plus the $3 million not signing bonus money equals $5.6 millions cap hit this year.

YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 @ChrisTrapasso: Re: McCoy's $13M signing bonus. RT @RyanFeder: would prorate over all 5 years. 2.6 hit per year. All but Gtd's he sees year 3 of deal.

QB Bills Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 It's not my money. I don't care how much he gets. Just saying I'd prefer to have Kiko plus whatever money saved to get someone else as opposed to McCoy.

You still arent happy. Got it. Go Bills?

YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 No doubt the Bills wanted this out there with 2 days to go until FA to show they are not playing games

QB Bills Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Apologies...I didn't see that the cap hit was down to 5.6 million. That's some good restructuring by the Bills. Still don't like the trade, but that's not a prohibitive number. Now re-sign Hughes, and get Bulaga and Iupati please.
ALF Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/lesean-mccoy/ LeSean McCoy signed a 5 year / $40,000,000 contract with the Buffalo Bills, including a $13,000,000 signing bonus, $26,500,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $8,000,000.

Common sense did say there would be a signing bonus and cap relief though- there's a reason I guessed at a 4m salary and 12m bonus when we saw 16m - not totally out of thin air I also wouldn't be shocked if his hit is penciled in at 10m+ next year but with a roster bonus planned to become signing bonus and further lock this in at a minimum of 4 years.... just taking a stab based on numbers out there guaranteed Edited March 8, 2015 by NoSaint

Kelly the Dog Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Good deal for both sides. The Bills just basically guaranteed the three year salary h already had, but lowered this years cap hit by 5m.
