At least the report isn't from Moran or someone of that ilk. timmah is usually pretty good. That said, still lots of variables in play.

its legit if it is graham. that's the best thing about him and a few others. only when wawrow says it do you know it is 100% fact. he doesn't miss, he can't miss.

Tim Graham covered the Dolphins for a Miami newspaper for a few years after he left his first stint at the Buffalo News. The way he worded the tweet, it could be from Fins sources and not necessarily the Bills, fwiw.

Sounds like the fins are trying to get the bills to soften the offer with a false report, imo

I doubt the Bills would alter their offer based on a news report.

I doubt it also. But it does sound like a trap as Ackbar said. Edited by The Wiz

One thing the Bills can do to free up cap space is extend Dareus now...it would look something like this..

 

7 Years, $121 million, $25 million signing bonus; $55 million guaranteed ($30 million paid on first day of league year 2016)

 

Year 1: SB allocation $3.57M and Salary $2 million -- reduces cap hit to $5.57 Million from $8.6 million

Year 2: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $9 million - Cap Hit $17.57 million

Year 3: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $11 million-Cap Hit $19.57 million

Year 4: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $11 million-Cap Hit $19.57 million

Year 5: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $11 million-Cap Hit $19.57 million

Year 6: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $12 million--Cap Hit $20.57 million

Year 7: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $12 million-Cap Hit $20.57 million

 

He entered the league at 20 so he is only 25 -- 7 years is reasonable...

Because I'm bored I thought I'd point out all of the errors you made(sorry).

 

Dareus has a cap hit this year of $8.06M not $8.60M.

 

Your totals add up to $123M not $121M.

 

The SB portion of any NFL contract can only be amortized to a maximum of 5 years.....so your cap hit for $25M SB would be $5M/year for the first 5 years, and zero for the last 2. This(along with the $8.06M error) means your contract only provides us with a measly $1.06M in cap relief this season.

 

Your $30M 2016 guaranteed bonus cannot be amortized at all, and as it stands would all count towards the 2016 cap.

 

 

Apart from all that, all good. :)

Thanks Dibs....thank God someone knows this better than me...and can actually add-- I thought I would give him a $2 million tip...

Lets go, lets go, lets go!!!

 

Hopefully wake up to a WGR550 text saying "national media guy" reporting Charles Clay has signed an offer sheet from the Buffalo Bills and Miami is not expected to match it.

If they've lost patience, they will remove the tag. Until then, they are being patient.
