RPbillsfan Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 We currently have $81,000,000 to spend with 34 players signed and 10 draft choices. I'm thinking we are in really good shape to build on our weakest parts next year. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Depending on how Shady looks, and how this home invasion thing plays out, he may not be on the roster as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zevo Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The real season begins next year and the clock on beane and McDermott. Anything else prior is bonus ie making the playoffs last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Welcome to the board. Kyle is on a one-year deal so no cap implications. The decision will be if he wants to play another year and probably at a similar pay to this year, $5.5 Million. There will be little pressure to cut anyone for "cap purposes" next year. The Bills have $84 Million plus in 2019 space according to over the cap: https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/buffalo-bills/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between keeping or ridding ourselves of Clay before the 2019 season is $4.5M. For that they may as well keep him - unless there is youth that forces him out or he starts to struggle.

They are cheap, and potentially give you the chance to get a highly talented player for little. They also make you look smarter when you hit on them. In some cases their your only way to get high level talent cause the guys without baggage have better options to sign to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Wow, dismissing Murphy before he ever plays a game? Will he even play a game this season? How much did he actually practice/play in the preseason? Not exactly a bold prediction on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a bold prediction on my part. Yes, because teams NEVER rest recovering players in meaningless games. I'm sorry it just seems a bit tacky to run down one of our own players before he's even played. We’re stuck with Star for at least 3 years Again, maybe let's let them play an actual in-season game before we run down our new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
