McGovern is only a 4M cap hit this year.  Matakevich is 1.6M.  Not sure about Martin.  Cam and Ike likely don't affect the cap much once we get to the top 51.  

With those numbers, assuming $2M for Martin, and no Cam, it puts the Bills at $16.9M cap space. 

 

Not sure how they squeeze much more than vet minimums at LB, S, WR, Backup QB, possibly RB with that much space, unless pulling the Dawkins/Diggs/Tre White restructures, McKenzie release, D.Jones extension.

Everybody BUT the Jets see what is going on here 

 

 

 

Sign Kumerow and trade him to the Jets for Elijah Moore and Breece Hall 😆

HENCE THE +/- $3M. 

 

And yes, I know Over the Cap exists, as does Spotrac. 

 

Regardless, I guess the point I was trying to make is what other levers do the Bills have? Cutting McKenzie would be $2.6M saved, Bills could restructure Dawkins and Diggs for $6M apiece, and trading Oliver $10.2M (assuming all that money is put on the next team because it's a guaranteed 5th year option), extending DaQuan Jones could drop you a couple million. 

 

 

 

I don't think I'm touching Dawkins or Diggs, but if I'm Beane I am absolutely doing the following:

 

-Extend Daquan Jones. Good player.  We have no DT's under contract for next year. 

 

-Trade Ed Oliver.  Good player.  Not worth 10M to us next year and we're not paying him if he blows up.  

 

-Cut McKenzie.  We comitted to Hines.  His role should be KR/PR/RB3/Gadget.. he takes over the McKenzie role in the offense.

I liked him as a sleeper here. He has made some clutch plays for Dallas.

 

I like what the Texans are doing. As long as they don’t go all stupid and trade Tunsil, it is starting to shape up as a good place for a young QB and I really like the Ryans hire.

So after Friday, he's owed 2 yrs/ 18.5M, all not gauranteed

YR1: 6.6

YR2: 11.8

 

He's a really good candidate to get for a mid round pick and possibly give him an additional year and guarantee some yr1 money. 6.6 is also not that much to restructure and give him some void years.

My understanding is that you are correct. All of Oliver's money is base salary. The team trading for a player picks up all of the base salary.

I'd love some Hunter Renfrow

At this point ditching Oliver is almost a necessity if Beane doesn't kick any more money down the road. 

 

Unless you're going vet minimum everywhere else.
