Virgil Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) After Richie leaving, it looks like we have about 18 mil in cap space. Assuming 9 of that goes to rookies, then we have about 9 mil left. There will be cuts after June 1st, but we there's a lot of guys taking 1 mil deals right now with the market basically crawling. With that, he's the most recent list of FA's at positions of need for us. If the cap number is wrong or anything else, please feel free to call it out. Personally, I think we've already signed our offensive line is already on the roster, unless a BPA becomes available in the draft. MLB looks healthy enough in FA where we could get some guys on the cheap, but again, I think we will wait and see how the draft pans out.

baskingridgebillsfan Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 this will be epic dumpster diving. and they have to release incognito to use his money , this will allow him to sign elsewhere. I think that is his plan 1
maryland-bills-fan Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 I agree that we could and should upgrade the present o-line, lb and wr with FA's if we don't draft those positions. Of course that is what we would do. But these guys are sitting around without jobs for reasons. You don't dominate other teams by using their cast-offs. Let's hope that some 3rd string guard, starting for us, doesn't wiff on a block and get our QB killed.
thebandit27 Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Add Austin Howard to your list of OTs and Brian Schwenke to your list of OGs 1
Kirby Jackson Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Bowman and Delvin Breaux would be immediate upgrades. Adding those 2 allows more flexibility in a trade up. There are others that fit that description as well but that would be how I went. 1 minute ago, thebandit27 said: Add Austin Howard to your list of OTs and Brian Schwenke to your list of OGs Howard would have been a much better idea than Newhouse.

Was the same true for Boldin?
Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Probably best to wait until June cuts. Bowman would be a good fit for a 1 year deal though.

Kind of surprised he wasn't the move.

When I look at Spotrac, it looks like $9.7 million for rookie signings is already included and that Bills have almost $19 million in available salary cap.

dbflaBill Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Not sure why Breeland is still unsigned. may not be a great corner but could definitely help any team. Not to mention hes rather young.

I think that is his plan Are you sure that is how it works? I believe Incognito has to file retirement paperwork and then the Bills can place him on the retirement list. This should free the funds up. He can not play else where unless he unretires and the Bills release his rights. Very much like Boldin last year. No incentive for Bills to release him.
