RPbillsfan Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Here are some easy cuts to add $6,000,000 to our $78,750,000 in cap space Chris Ivory Vlad Ducasse Punter Cam Phillips Denzel Rice These obvious moves would bring our cap space to $85,000,000. That additional space is going to be very helpful.
Herc11 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I stopped reading when I saw you suggest cutting Ivory... 6 1
JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Is there some reason to believe we are going to spend so much of that money that we need to find an additional 6 million to make it work? People who are expecting a wild off season are going to be sorely disappointed. They aren't going to go through what they went through to waste the entire cap this year. To do so would require numerous multiple year contracts, which would drain the salary pool for years to come. 7 1

RPbillsfan Posted February 10, 2019 Author Posted February 10, 2019 I'd add as follows Darryl Williams 5 years $55,000,000 Jordan Phillips 3 years - $10,000,000 Mitch Morse 4 years - $32,000,000 Jesse James 4 years - $24,000,000 3

No If thats the case why not Because you need players. Potential might be all he has but you can't cut every player that won't be a starter and replace them with high priced free agents 1
HOUSE Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Why makes cuts in the middle of a Sabres game? 1
Billzgobowlin Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Honestly if we gave as much time to Foster as you are willing to give Cam Phillips, Foster would have already been gone

Rc2catch Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 There’s a lot of holes to fill already. Why create more? What makes people think they are going on some huge spending spree? They may target a couple of the top lineman, but they aren’t spending all that money. They will spend to get to the minimum cap level and roll more over for next season. Beane has said repeatedly they are not building this team via free agency but through drafting good. 2

To do so would require numerous multiple year contracts, which would drain the salary pool for years to come. I agree with part of this and completely disagree with the other. There is absolutely no reason they need an additional 6 million in cap space. It's going to be difficult to spend the money they have. That being said, at what point do they spend the money? Who on the roster are you concerned about paying? Edmunds and Allen in 4 years? White in 3 years? The objective is to play to the cap as much as possible, not stockpile money for some future date. I think they're under some pressure to win this season and I would be surprised if they didn't make some moves you don't expect them to make. They don't have eternity to make this thing work. 1
todzilla Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I don’t want Ducasse as a starter but he’s good depth and salary is reasonable. I’d keep him. Others are right. The extra $6m won’t make a difference. They aren’t spending all that money. Cut the punter sure, but not to save the money, he just stinks. Gonna have to spend the same to replace him.
IgotBILLStopay Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 If we need to save, we can do a lot more by saying adieu to McCoy and Clay:)

Here is what I suggest they add in Free Agency RT - Darryl Williams - 5 years - $55,000,000 C - Matt Morse - 4 years - $32,000,000 DT - Sheldon Richardson - 3 years $30,000,000 TE - Jesse James - 4 years - $24,000,000 DT - Jordan Phillips - 3 years - $10,000,000 RB- Tevan Coleman - 3 years - $15,000,000 Total FY 2019 Cap Space - $43,000,000, leaves $42,000,000 left Now draft needs: WR TE OG RB S Would love to add DK Metcalf or Hakeem Butler TJ Hockenson or Irv Smith Either Wisconsin OG Hendorson or Love at RB A LB/S hybrid That gives the Bills a lot to build with 3
