Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 On 8/4/2021 at 7:15 PM, EmotionallyUnstable said: I wouldn’t rule out a player trade where the bills absorb a higher cap number, hence using any extra space Beane was referring to. I don’t mean Ertz btw… but potentially I could see Beane moving OL/DL depth in exchange for a guy who could come in and fill a specific role they want. Expand While I completely agree with the concept, the Bills roster is pretty strong all around, can't imagine any team giving up on a player and that player still being good enough to improve the Bills roster other than maybe Ertz. Maybe a backup OT as read Hart is struggling but even then would likely mean cutting either one of the rookies they drafted or Bates or Bottinger to make room for him??

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 The only problem is we may have to outbid teams like the Jaguars and Broncos who have $25 Million+ in cap room. Our team's success makes Buffalo more attractive to free agents, but if the Jags offer a player a huge guaranteed contract, not many would turn that down.

Can't see many players out there good enough to improve the Bills roster overall, but another team giving up on that same player. Other than someone like Ertz. In other cases teams will usually just wait it out till he's cut.
without a drought Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 As long it's not for Ertz. Don't want him, never did. 3

Don Otreply Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 This is SOP for any team that is well run, Beane knows what he is up to, that and if they don’t have to spend it..,., hookers and blow baby, hookers and blow, Go Bills!!!

At least that's how it appears from the outside - sounds like he wanted to make sure they maintained a cushion for any late training camp issue / injury / cost-cutting drop by another team. Wonder if that plays at all into the Josh contract issue ??? The cap experts will know way better than me. Expand Josh will sign an extension. It has no impact on the cap this year and very little next 1 1
Matt_In_NH Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 I think what is left now is earmarked for the QB
TheyCallMeAndy Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 I think with ALL the rumors, Beane randomly opening up the cap space, and the team randomly having Gillian switch from 86 to 81 (then to 41), the Ertz deal was actually very close to being official.

Its a good idea to have that money in case somebody useful becomes available. I'm not worried about Allen because his new money won't kick in THIS season.

78thealltimegreat Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 On 8/4/2021 at 6:56 PM, HOUSE said: Prior to training camp, general manager Brandon Beane spoke to media to address many of the most pressing topics for the Buffalo Bills. The Bills’ current cap space was brought up, but primarily in the context of the general consensus that Buffalo may want to add to the tight end group. Specifically, Beane was asked: “With the salary cap space that you do have available, do you foresee potentially something happening with a veteran player, perhaps adding to that position [tight end] before the start of the regular season?” https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2021/8/4/22608637/brandon-beane-wants-cap-space-ready-to-go-in-case-veteran-they-like-becomes-available-bills Expand Of course we all know this is just space for Ertz when the Eagles release him 🙄
