thebandit27 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 According to Spotrac, that leaves the Bills approximately $9.2M under the cap at this moment. Let's hope some of that goes to Powell and/or Rambo prior to 4:00 p.m.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 That makes more sense...thanks 26 Helluva deal to accommodate more flexibility for the Bills. Thanks Richie!
BarleyNY Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Well, if you add up the base salaries, you get $11.5M, so I'm assuming it's $15.75M, $11.5M of which comes in base salaries, and $4.75M in signing bonus. The remaining $700k of guaranteed comes in annual workout bonuses and roster bonuses. So that would mean something like this: 2016 - $2M base + $1.583M signing + $100k workout = $3.683M cap hit 2017 - $3.175M base + $1.583M signing + $100k workout + $200k guaranteed roster bonus = $5.058M cap hit 2018 - $6.325M base + $1.583M signing + $100k workout + $200k guaranteed roster bonus = $8.208M cap hit Cutting Richie before the 2018 season would result in a dead money hit of $1.783M, so approximately $6.5M in cap savings. Essentially, if Wilson's numbers are correct, then it's a 2-year deal worth just under $10M to Richie It was an incomplete tweet. Wilson fixed it.
thebandit27 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Is that accounting for rookie salaries? Nope...the site had Buffalo as $7.2M under the cap and had Richie's cap hit listed at $5.25M. I believe they were counting that against the cap, and since his actual cap hit is $3.25M, I added that to their space. Barley seems to think that they weren't counting the $5.25M against the cap, and if he's correct, then they're basically at $4M under. EDIT: and apparently he's right. Spotrac is now up to date, and has the Bills at $4.5M under: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/ Enough to sign either Powell or Rambo, as well as one or two key UFAs. It was an incomplete tweet. Wilson fixed it. Yep...saw that.

3rdand12 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 A deal made me happy. I like Richie Incognito. I feel positive about the Bills. I need a nap in a dark room. pranayama Blokes. Breathe baby breathe
Al Czervik Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Very happy Incognito stayed and a good deal worked out for both sides!
eball Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Well done, Doug Whaley...Carry on! No! He's squandering resources and mortgaging the future! I've read that here!
SoulMan Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Worth 400 to 600 additional rushing yards per year. Leader in the locker room. Richie IS the MAN !!
Dorkington Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 The more details that come out about this contract, the more favorable it looks for us, damn. Good work, FO, and thanks for playing along, RI!
John from Riverside Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Lets hope Incognito has a great couple years here. The question I have is: Why did he bounce around on so many teams prior? The Bills had him at one point and released him. Go BIlls! Fredex I dont often see good points of discussion from you but this def is one My take Richie Cog has always been a talented player and that is evidenced by always being a starter and making a pro bowl while he was with Miami....... Personal demons, alchohol abuse, etc has always turned teams off though......and it took being suspended from the league to actually give Richie a wake up call (I hope) We are going to see this year if he truly has turned a corner on the personal side of things.....having OL friends on the bills might be aiding this @thadbrown7 Incognito deal leaves #Bills with enough to pay draft class and have couple mil leftover. Teams usually save that for in season emergency. or They could restructure deals on Gilmore and meatball.......and actually get some B list free agents Edited March 9, 2016 by John from Hemet
Doc Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Just looked and RI's deal is essentially a 2-year $8.825M deal with essentially a club option for the 3rd year. Nice!
26CornerBlitz Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Did Incognito leave any $ on the table? Yep! @RapSheet The #Eagles signing G Brandon Brooks to a 5-year, $40M, source said.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 @WHTK LISTEN -- Tyler Dunne of The Buffalo News talks Richie Incognito & #Bills with @MoriartySports. http://fb.me/799eMT3MV
Freddie's Dead Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 We stole him. Richie left a ton of money on the table just to stay and play here. Same with Jerry Hughes. The Bills squeezed both of them. Good job by FO from a money standpoint.
papazoid Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 it's a 2 year deal......ritchie will never see the 3rd year of that contract
