They’re not gonna draft 11 players he’s going to use some of those pics to trade up into higher rounds

 

Even with the players that we lost yesterday we wouldn’t be able to give a jersey to 11 new guys in the draft. There is too much talent on this team still

True, but we keep getting promising players plucked from our PS. This is a good year to use more young players in meaningful roles. We will struggle at first, but like KC, things could come together later in the season when it matters, i.e. Rashee Rice.

Cheap 1t option?   

The Bills are now playing the comp pick game and I love it.

Jags felt he was too inconsistent.  Something that has plagued this team, so talking to him is a bit of a surpise.

Get to 40 mil in space and take a big swing.

 

Chris Jones

 

Christian Wilkins (camp fights with Josh)

 

DJ Reader

 

Leonard Williams

 

+ Re-sign DQ. 
 

Derrick Henry if he doesn’t sign with Ravens
 

CB Jaylon Johnson?  only 24
We tried to acquire him at the trade deadline.

That would be super intriguing.  Benford or Rasul could move to Safety 

*Edit Franchise Tagged

 

 

Paying Chris Jones and Wilkins and Reader and Leonard Williams and Derrick Henry and trading for Jaylon Johnson who’s franchise tagged…? 
 

Please give a detailed account as to how you’re paying all these guys with the limited cap space we are likely to have…

We find put that Josh has incentives in contract for knocking out fellow player.

I thought I would create one thread and do the following:

 

1. Merge the current cap projection threads
2. Provide a daily update for 2024 in the first post from sportrac and over the cap as being primary sources
3. While not a reliable # yet, update daily, in the first post, the 2025 projections from the same sources
4. The remainder of the thread will contain “normal” chatter on the topic.

 

2024 projections:

Sportrac $7,462,633 Over

Overthecap $9,052,381 Over

 

2025 projections:

Sportrac $38,898,522 Under

Over the cap $29,041,425 Under

I think if he asks them to send this years money via paypal and mark it as a GIFT it wont count.

 

I got this info from a backwards hat guy with a youtube channel who watches film.

Maybe you can pay them in gift cards and double down on fuel perks for the team bus visit to Niagara for the rookies this year? 🤔

Thank you good sir.

worse, if he doesn’t return to form you are just making it harder to escape.
 

If he was playing elite it would be worth a convo but the only way I’m making his 24 hit worse is by spreading his dead money because he’s cut. 

I’m gonna say that I think that Von Miller is going to return to some version of what he was and this will look like a smart deal

While I appreciate the effort and time of the players that got cut yesterday, the moves were needed.  IMHO the moves were done a year late.

 

 

Yes.  They got a little old last season.  They probably should have bit the bullet on Poyer last season.

Yeah, you could actually witness some players slowing down as the season went on.

I'm of the mindset that once players start getting a little long in the tooth and can't perform to the highest level, you have to start letting these guys go......it's nothing personal, it's a business and a franchise that keeps personnel due to the fact that it becomes personal, isn't running their business effectively.

Is this the current cap with the Tre White release or without? Since the 10 million from Tre roles off after June 1 seems this would make them cap compliant before doing anything further 

[Virgil]

If we cut Josh Allen, the dead cap hit is only 99 million.  Now, if that's too rich for your blood, we could always just make him a post June 1st cut and spread some of it into next year.

Could the Bills workout a deal with Lay's or Verizon where they pay him $50,000,000 a year and we get him at vet minimum?

Mods can we get this thread pinned (or otherwise merge the first page with the running cap thread)? The cap thread that is pinned doesn't have a running list of transactions.

Once Allen's restructure is completed the Bills will have $20-22 million to spend in FA and for the draft pool. Not huge amounts but they can sign a number of budget FAs with that money.

They don't have until June 1st, they have to be cap compliant by next week or the week after I believe.

[Rock-A-Bye Beasley]

My 2024 cap projection says they’ll be under it

They will.  One restructure (Allen) will be done during the tampering period I am guessing.  Remember Beane has said many times he doesn't kick the can until the money is spent.

It’s also a good way to tell agents I only have this much to spend.
