MAJBobby Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) http://www.spotrac.com/research/nfl/offseason-cap-questions-buffalo-bills-713/ it talks Glenn, Taylor, Hughes, InCognito, Alexander and Wood. Just in case someone wants the ramifications of those players quick and handy Edited February 18, 2018 by MAJBobby 3
atlbillsfan1975 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Nice break down, thank you. If the Bills want to move on from Glenn then they need to trade him post June 1st. His contract has the biggest swing and most glaring disparage from a trade as opposed to a cut. Tyrod, Hughes, Lorenzo, and Richie have similar savings be it cut or traded. I would like to see Richie and Lorenzo brought back. I would look for Beane to make another trade similar to the Watkins deal with Glenn in August as teams see needs. A healthy Glenn displayed during some preseason games could bring back a nice player and high pick. I feel like the Bills have been able to find left tackles but struggling to fill the RT. Mills started to come on and Henderson might finally be back to playing form. Henderson would be a good swing tackle if healthy. Dawkins did very good for a rookie and I can see him becoming the LT. Hughes traded after June 1st would be a good savings. Hopefully Beane can find a defensive scheme similar to the one Schwartz runs with a team that has cap space and needs a pass rusher. Tyrod needs to be cut or traded pre March 16th or post June 1st.
Paul Costa Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Good read, great site for NFL financial information. Thanks for posting. Some interesting decisions are coming on one Bills Drive ?
Matt_In_NH Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 The cap situation is OK this offseason and fantastic for next year assuming they dont give away a lot of big contracts this year which I dont see them doing.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I have the Bills moving on from all of them except Hughes. Bills looking at taking a few steps back in 2018, but a big 2019. Get your QB this year. Let him take his lumps and learn. 2019 we surround him with talent. 1

Try and get a 5th. It's not about Richie, it's about where the team is headed. Bills should unload older players. Continue the rebuild.
baskingridgebillsfan Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 If they trade up and take a qb in round one they can start free agency with around 45 million by cutting Glenn, taylor and wood. Personally I would not be in a rush to cut glenn , Granted they should spend 5-7 on somekind of vet qb weather it be Derek Anderson , Matt Moore , ect. That would leave around 40 million to buy some players Corner, linebacker , D tackle would be my personal choice.. Then hit the draft and lets see what happens. With wood gone I can not see them cutting Richie and If Kyle doesn't comeback I think Alexander stays, Although in a different role. Special teams and pass rusher playing in conjunction with Lawson
