BarleyNY Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Thurman#1 said: There are no football-related reasons. If an owner didn't want to spend the money on players at all ... just wanted to put it as a profit to the team, he could just not roll over the money. I believe it's been done but it's extremely infrequent. If you want to be as competitive as possible, you always roll it over. Fans get it and don't appreciate what it means. No team has ever not rolled over their cap space. One could chose not to do so (or make an unintentional mistake and not do so), but that would not impact the minimum they are required to spend. The minimum spending limit is calculated as a percentage of the unadjusted league cap. Rollover cap dollars from each team are added to the unadjusted cap amount for that year to get each team’s adjusted cap.

I don't think many think of Buffalo as a prime time city. 75% of NFL free agency is about cash and most of the rest is about winning. 1

But you think the reason he signed with the Bills was that he'd rather play with Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes? Alrighty then! Yep he even said it interviews so do your homework good man cause he was getting similar money around the league namely Jacksonville and Tennessee Edited December 29, 2019 by 78thealltimegreat

Take what you will from such things. 1
davefan66 Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Need to be wise with the cap regardless of how much we have. We have Tre White coming due next year for the 5th year option and then FA the next year. Josh is coming due the year after. Signing both could eat 40 to 50 million of cap space. 15 million for Tre and 30 million for Josh. Edited December 30, 2019 by davefan66

He sucks but I got paaaaaid” that’s not to say he was lying but can only throw so much weight on it

Signing both could eat 40 to 50 million of cap space. 15 million for Tre and 30 million for Josh. No need to worry. The team could spend $50M on those 2 players, sign all of their draft picks, and still be able to afford 2 premium (and I mean massive) UFA deals without breaking a sweat. I like to think of it this way: the cap increases ~$10M each year, which equates to the cost to sign a team's draft class plus have room for in-season transactions. 2
