Phil The Thrill Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) I was checking around to see what cap space the Bills have next year and beyond and I think that things are definitely trending in the right direction. Here’s what’s out there from overthecap.com 2020 Projected Salary Cap $84 Million (4th Highest) 2020 draft picks: 1- Own pick 2- Own pick 3- Own pick 4- Own pick 5- Own pick 5- From Cleveland Browns (Teller trade) 6- Own pick 6- From Browns (Teller trade) 6- From New England Patriots via Baltimore Ravens (Bodine trade) 2019 Free Agents: LB Lorenzo Alexander DT Jordan Phillips DE Shaq Lawson OL Quentin Spain RB Frank Gore CB Kevin Johnson S Dean Marlowe S Kurt Coleman WR Isaiah McKenzie WR Robert Foster LB Julian Sanford RB Seniorise Perry CB Levi Wallace 2020 Free Agents: CB Tre’Davious White* LB Matt Milano OL Dion Dawkins DL Trent Murphy S Jordan Poyer OT Ty Nsheke OG Jon Feliciano FB Patrick DiMarco WR Andre Roberts QB Matt Barkley RB TJ Yeldon Based on these numbers, I would guess that a portion of this years cap space will be spent resigning their own FA’s - I’m thinking they make Matt Milano and Dion Dawkins a top priority. You have to think they find money to resign Tre too. If they want to keep Lawson, they can. They just have to factor in a comp pick if he does walk away. Also I think it shows the team needs to get a lot younger on the offensive and defensive lines. Any other thoughts after seeing this info? Edited October 19, 2019 by Phil The Thrill 2 3
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Didn't Alexander announce he's retiring after this year? The 2019 list doesn't have too many you need to sign. Phillips, Wallace, and Lawson would be the two top needs, though not certain Lawson will agree to deal here. 2020 list has at least 5 I'd want to resign Milano, Dawkins, White, Poyer, and Feliciano
BuffaloBillies Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Never overpay is what I've come to. It is a young man's sport and injuries happen. Love young kids on their rookie deals. 1

fansince88 Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Trending...Bills will replace through the draft. 3

John from Riverside Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 You really get the feeling that what Beane did was sign a lot of "prove it contracts" and while some of these guys will get extensions....draft picks will replace some of these guys..... Bottom line....resign your own best players and continue to draft well 8 1 1
Mike in Horseheads Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I thought all op did was poll threads 2
GreggTX Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I see about a dozen impending FA's I'd like to keep and about half as many I'd like even more from my short list. The rest can easily be replaced. Lorenzo and Gore maybe. Who knows if they will stay, go or retire? They're definitely playing well right now though

Even now when he's supposed to be playing better, he can't even beat out Murphy for a starting job. I'd rather see us draft or sign a replacement.

They also should get a 4th round comp pick for him, which means you could see the Bills package number of picks in rounds 4-6 to move up to the 2nd or 3rd round.
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) I'd like to see Levi locked up for 4 years. Edited October 19, 2019 by K-GunJimKelly12
Aussie Joe Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 DE, WR and OT in free agency completes this team in 2020... Then it’s over to JA..
CaptnCoke11 Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Foster and Wallace are ERFAs so they will be back for cheap

Poyer, Milano and Dawkins would need to get paid, especially Poyer...He has been one of the best safeties in the NFL.
SCBills Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) A good portion of our money will go to signing/extending our own guys, but there will still be money for a big FA signing and it’s almost a certainty that we use some of those picks to help facilitate moving around the draft. I think theres a lot of obvious guys on that list that we’ll get locked up but Spain and Shaq are interesting. Both are solid players but Ford probably needs to go to his more natural position of G and Feliciano isn’t going anywhere - Shaq is a guy who will probably get overpay offers from other teams.

Orlando Buffalo Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Phillips, Lawson, and Wallace are only guys I really want to keep next year but year after there are several Key cogs we need to make sure we keep.

Tre White would be a 5th year option for 2021 that the Bills could pick up since he is a 1st round pick.

I’m guessing he’s got Yolo tied up in his cellar while stealing all his computer insights. PhillyWhitesnuze hasn’t shown a capacity to create quality threads in any of his incarnations. Somethings amiss. 2
Real McClappy Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Great thread OP! everything in one spot = perfect and worth a sticky IMO. Will copy and paste somewhere. TY 2
