Clockwork Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I was wondering how much cap room we will have for next season with cutting Drew. And/or where are we going to spend that money...resigning Nate, upgrading the O-Line, replacing Moulds? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahnyc Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Thank you CP. How much room do we have left for 2005? When is the deadline for using this years cap dollars for new contacts and/or extensions? It would be a shame not to use every available dollar this year so as to provide more cap flexibility next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Bills saved approx. $7 million on 2006 cap 473911[/snapback] Wow, I didn't know that. What is the story with Moulds and Big Mike. would they be virtually impossible to cut, even after 6/1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-dog Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 7 million. Wow that is great. Way more than I was expecting. How much $$$ under the cap next year will they be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_wag Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Bills saved approx. $7 million on 2006 cap 473911[/snapback] that was his projected 2006 number, correct? he is counting less then 5M on the cap for 2005 if i recall..........to me, that is the savings.......we'll have 5M more to spend next year...........

More than that. After Teague and Posey come off, it'll be another few million for Nate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 More than that. After Teague and Posey come off, it'll be another few million for Nate. 474131[/snapback] Teague will be a ufa. He is not under contract with the Bills in 06 and does not count toward their salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsObserver Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Teague will be a ufa. He is not under contract with the Bills in 06 and does not count toward their salary cap. 474271[/snapback] I think that's what bills_fan was saying. After this season, we'll do without Teague and Posey's salaries. Well, Teague for sure. Dunno whats the deal with Posey's contract but I know TD likes him enough to potentially re-sign him. Re-sign Nate. Pick up 3 or 4 new O-line talent. Pick up 2 D-line guys. Keep Gandy and B. Anderson for depth. Cut ties with Jerman please. Restructure Mike Williams contract and make sure he's not killing us financially. Let's part ways with Bannan as he's done nothing for us except 2 goal line stints as an offensive lineman. DO NOT RE-SIGN RON EDWARDS. Let him go. Restructure E-Moulds contract. Damn, we could have a lot of off-season transactions. WAYYYYYYYYYYYY TOO EARLY TO BE THINKING ABOUT THIS. Screw it - I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right & the team will have that money, and more to give to Nate. We're saying the same thing. posey is signed through 2006.........however, he may be released with his 1.75 salary and the way crowell is stepping up....... My bad, I thought Posey was up this year. He's helping the D, but if you need the money for Nate, then release him. My bottom line is everything revolves around Nate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
