vtnatefootball11 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 (edited) 4 hours ago, Green Lightning said: Lost a bit of my enthusiasm when Beane signalled we're keep an older costly average center in Morse. Likely he'll be extended which is just a miss in my book. All these extensions may put us in dead cap Hell again. Follow KC's lead and move on from older or expensive players. Draft well and play them, not observe them for a few years like McClappy is inclined to do. I gave you the eyeball roll reaction but this post aged quite nicely for you, apparently Beane agrees with you! Props, I didn't see it coming. Maybe Beane was playing his cards close the vest or Morse wasn't willing to play ball with a restructure. Either way, with the news on McGovern moving to center and Edwards to LG (and of course the cap savings) I'm starting to see the light. Edited March 6 by vtnatefootball11 1 Quote

Spotrac is fully updated: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap// We are still $19,782,663 OVER the cap, but a simple restructure of Allen's contract will get us under. And there are still plenty of potential moves to be made. Edited March 6 by HappyDays 2 3 Quote
TheyCallMeAndy Posted March 6 Posted March 6 *Marked Safe* from being released by Brandon Beane. Seriously, Tre White is the only big ‘cap savings’ guy left. 3 Quote

And there are still plenty of potential moves to be made. Came to post this. Fully updated with today's move including Douglas, but Hines is oddly still there. Not sure if they don't think it's official or what. So if Hines is really released, we are at -$15m. Quote
ALLinALLEN Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Wheres the "I kinda wish Beane would start doing something" guy from like Monday this week? lmao 3 Quote

And if Beane is cutting Poyer and Morse, gotta think Tre and Von don’t survive. 1 Quote

Plus there is a chance he rebounds to near 2022 form and we are thin at DE on the roster as is. Tre will likely restructure but if he's unwilling then yeah he's a goner. There is just no way he can be an elite corner again after those back to back major lower body injuries. Edited March 6 by vtnatefootball11 1 Quote

And there are still plenty of potential moves to be made. yes, Tre is a likely the next cut as doing it before 3/18 saves us an additional 1.5 million (6 million total toward the cap instead of 4.5 after 3/18) others to watch out for are Taron who if cut would save 7.5 million (though maybe they extend him instead). Gilliam would save about $1.9 million and Sam Martin about $1.3 million. Good thing we have all those draft picks this year! Edited March 6 by LEBills Quote

billsbackto81 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Bates traded. Poyer, Morse, Harty, Neal and now Tre released. Beane is in total "Scorched Earth" mode. Quote
Nephilim17 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Not certain if all these moves are the right ones — though I'm leaning most if not all are necessary — but the wholesale cutting spree is oddly satisfying and cathartic. Most logical people though we couldn't "run it back" and expect better results with an aging roster. 1 Quote
SoonerBillsFan Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Edit by BuffaloBill (moderator): I thought I would create one thread and do the following: Merge the current cap projection threads Provide a daily update for 2024 in the first post from sportrac and over the cap as being primary sources While not a reliable # yet, update daily, in the first post, the 2025 projections from the same sources The remainder of the thread will contain “normal” chatter on the topic. 2024 projections 3/7/2024 - 9:00 AM: Sportrac $7,462,633 Over Overthecap $9,052,381 Over 2025 projections 3/7/2024 - 9:00 AM: Sportrac $38,898,522 Under Overthecap $29,041,425 Under ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Original Thread Start by SoonerBillsFan: Just checked,they seem to be keeping up in real time. But...I don't see how the moves today get us from 42 over to just 19 over. Something has to have happened we haven't heard about yet? 2 1 1 3 Quote
