The Bills have a lot of work to do to fit the new deals under the cap — particularly if they want to keep adding.

 

One or two cuts won’t do it. We’re going to see MULTIPLE re-structurings, conversions to signing bonuses, and extensions in the coming days.

 

There is no money left in the banana stand. Beane will have to get creative, and fast, to fit Miller and co and remain cap compliant.

 

 

Yep, and we also don't have any backup QBs. One will be a vet that won't be very cheap.

I think Beasley and Star get us through the draft, season, and another depth signing or two. 

Yeah well Beasley is a goner now so that leaves Star

I’m assuming that puts them around $0 give or take a couple million either way.  

I am sure we will know at 4pm.  When the outstanding contracts are likely processed.  I would think Beane would free up maybe 2-4M on the positive right now, to be able to process the current agreements with the league and continue work.  Just my Guess.  Obviously he knows what he has and how much more he has to free up if any to process current contracts.  But they can likely fit them all at this point I would think

And then about another 5-7 moves that could be done to free more up.

would be nice to see Lotulelei take a pay cut.  Matakevich also jumps at me as pricey for what you get

How many DTs do you want?

 

And why would you trust a player that doesnt show up or even really want to play anymore to give him another contract redo.  Move on from this malcontent already

I remember way back to yesterday afternoon when I really thought I had a grasp on how the NFL cap worked.  I guess this why you here "insiders" say you just make the numbers work if you can get a big fish.

I would think so.  Once the dust settles on the current signing the Bills will be inside the cap by a few bucks.

Any moves from now on will need a corresponding cut/restructure.

With all the prior restructures this cant be right

 

As of this moment the Bills have (per Spotrac) $18.9M in cap space.

What is missing is this years cap hits for the following players.

Von Miller

DaQuan Jones

Rodger Saffold

OJ Howard 

 

Everyone is free to determine what they guess the remaining cap will be after the contracts drop.

I say it will be pretty close to even.

It's all right here.  You tell me if everything is up to date.

It looks right to me from everything that has been reported.

Let me add this cap space at this moment.

One thing I didn't mention above is the Top 51 Cap.

As of now each of the higher paid signings has a reaction.  As each gets signed it knocks off a lesser paid player on the Top 51.

That means that players making $700k get pushed off.  So the new higher paid players first year cap hit is essentially $700k less.

Just wanted to be totally accurate with my comments.

Loyal, thanks for the info.  If true Star has to retire or be cut.
