3rdand12 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 For more cap space John. business mind eh ? Oh well. He's useless on this team anyway. Hanging with Weo are you? I dont think we can or will trade for him. However, we don't know Kujo can play in the NFL. It seems we think Mills can be a backup swing Y and may be able for the starting job. Henderson might not be able to play on any given Sunday due to his health. We don't have a starting RT. We need at LEAST another potential starting RT to compete in camp and IMO I want that player to be the starter in a perfect world by winning the job. we have 3 competing already. How many RT do you wish to have compete? btw i do not mind drafting another lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 To put this in perspective, trading for Clady and moving him to RT would make him the second highest paid RT in the NFL after Lane Johnson. The third highest paid RT averages $6.75M/year. Clady is set to make $9.5M in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 No thanks, build through the draft a pay our own. People are available for a reason. Exactly bud. We have no cap, and we want someone demanding $10 mil a year who has an injury history? Why do people keep doing this? WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY!!!!!!!! Sorry for effect. Not yelling at everyone. Build through the draft and you get on the cheap for four years. Trust Whaley in this draft. Ask yourself even if we had money, why did Denver sign another Tackle today for $50 mil over 5 years vs resign Clady? Things that make you go hmmh.

purple haze Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Problem is that the Gilmore/Glenn space that will be freed up needs to go to draft picks. If you trade for Clady, and then use the space created by Gilmore/Glenn extensions to fit him under the cap, then you only have $1.6M in space, which leaves you about $3.4M short of being able to sign your draft picks. Right--it's not realistic. Based on this article Sal did they have 3 or so million to spend at this point outside of the draft pick funds: http://www.wgr550.com/Bills-updated-salary-cap-and-FA-draft-situation/22576881 I wouldn't mind seeing a trade like this. But it is impractical because what would the Bills have to use as bait? Edited March 18, 2016 by purple haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The starting RT is in the draft. Probably second round pick. They will go DL or OLB in the first. Then OT followed by LB, S, DE, K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 2013 - only played in 2 games due to lisfranc surgery 2014 - ranked by PFF as the 41st best OT 2015 - missed entire season due to ACL surgery 2016 - likely to be cut by Denver, just not the same player.

Freddie's Dead Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) No chance, Clady is too expensive. We have no cap room to sign a free agent and still sign our draft picks. The cuts have been made, we've had our FA signing in Dray (maybe we could squeeze in one more el cheapo). The draft is all we have left. Wake up and look at Spotrac guys, WE HAVE NO CAP ROOM TO SIGN ANYONE ELSE IN FA. THE DRAFT IS ALL WE'RE GOING TO GET!

BarleyNY Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) after accounting for draft picks.....Bills have $3-4 mil in available cap space.My calculations were a little bit different from 550's, but I got about the same figure. I got $7.5M currently, $5.5M after accounting for rookies. Then a little space has to be set aside for the change from Rule of 51 to full roster accounting when the full 53 plus practice squad players will count toward cap calls. That happens just prior to the start of the regular season. Then the team also has to carry some space into the regular season for things like signing players to replace guys going on IR. $2M-$3M is probably the minimum amount a team would want to carry. Long story short, considering offsets the Bills probably have about $3-4M to play with. The Bills might want to look at some players on vet minimum deals as stopgaps. The league gives a cap space break on those contracts and the time is about right for those deals to start happening.

BarleyNY Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I'd trade for Clady and start Glenn at RT. Thank God you aren't the Bills GM. Clady hasn't played well - or much at all - of late. There are good reasons the Broncos decided to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are good reasons the Broncos decided to replace him. Clady has been hurt several seasons in a row. It's not happening, he won't renegotiate to stay with Denver he isn't doing it here. That being said, Clady is not suited to RT, he's a finesse player while Cordy has 30 lbs on him and could shift of RT easier. The people saying they'd put Clady at RT have less of a clue what they are talking about than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I'd like to see how Tyson Chandler is coming along, he seem to have some pretty good qualities 6'6 345lb 36.5 inch arm length and 31 reps bench - needed work in lower body power, weight, and technique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 We pretty much already know the RT will be Henderson. Mills and Kouandjio will vie for back up jobs with a drafted or UDFA rookie if they decide to go with those routes. How do we pretty much know the RT will be Henderson?

The people saying they'd put Clady at RT have less of a clue what they are talking about than I do. And anyone who would want him on the Bills at all, much less at a salary of $9.5M, is only going by name recognition and need. I wouldn't touch him at half that. Yeah, but he's heard of him. Fair point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
