BillsFanForever19 Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Broncos | $2.233M Allotted to Spend on Rookie Pool - from www.KFFL.com Tue, 24 May 2005 11:24:18 -0700 Lee Rasizer, of the Rocky Mountain News, reports the Denver Broncos have been allotted $2.233 million to spend towards their 2005 rookie draft class. The Broncos' rookie pool was the third lowest in the NFL behind the Buffalo Bills ($2.11 million) and the New York Giants ($1.689 million). The Broncos are currently about $2.5 million under the 2005 cap, but that number will change if they sign free agent WR Jerry Rice (Seahawks). Good for us, bad for Roscoe. Then again, we don't have a 1st to sign.
/dev/null Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 oh no! how will we sign our draft picks??? its all part of the great conspiracy i tells ya!!! we're D MED!!!
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Yeah, I ain't worried since we didn't have a first rounder. The article doesn't mention that, though, does it?
UConn James Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Then again, we don't have a 1st to sign. 343801[/snapback] There's your answer. After the 2nd round, it's rare-to-never that a rookie contract will even count toward the cap. Usually $400K and trickles down to $250K in the 7th. Rest assured (or not, as the air of many of your posts is reminiscent of JP-Era), the Bills are not doomed.

TigerJ Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 It's simple math. It really wouldn't make any difference to Parrish whether Buffalo had a first round pick or not. With a first round pick Buffalo's rookie cap would be comparable to other teams, but the first round pick would eat up the entire difference.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 What's all the hubbub, bub? Obviously without a 1st rounder the rookie pool drop markedly. Take a look at LAST year's rookie pool for the Bills.
