ColoradoBills Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 March 17th teams have to be under the 51 player cap. Saints, Rams and Eagles still got a lot of work to do to get there. Even the Falcons who are at -$11M only have 39 players signed. They got a lot of moves still to make.

SoCal Deek Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 I love the way it says 'legal negotiating window' as opposed to what? Illegal negotiating?

The 51 doesn't include 'Future Contracts' I believe.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Does the legal tampering period also begin at 4:00 PM on the 15th or earlier? Trying to recall was last years draft originally scheduled for Cleveland, but then went virtual so they gave them this years afterwards?

TBBills Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Today we are going to see a lot of things happen. May only be the start of tampering but lots of guys get locked up in the first day of it.
ColoradoBills Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Well it's 4pm New York time. Welcome to the 2021 season Bills fans! There are still some teams needing to get above the cap. Eagles, Saints, Bears (not much with these 3) but especially the Rams. Here's to hoping we see a Beane move tonight or tomorrow!
