Bill from NYC Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 I know that we ask a lot, but PLEASE give us an estimate of the cap space we will have in 07 now that the 2 biggest drains are gone! I am thinking that between these moves and the scheduled cap increase, we have to be sitting like never before. Thanks once again Clump Man!

Looks like there's a lot of free agents out there for us to sign!
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Yippee!!!! Looks like there's a lot of free agents out there for us to sign! 651988[/snapback] And even if there were, what's to say that cheap bastard would put the money out to attract top talent, anyway?

Thailog80 Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 And even if there were, what's to say that cheap bastard would put the money out to attract top talent, anyway? 651992[/snapback] Bingo! Maybe he'll be taking his dirt nap by '07?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Bingo! Maybe he'll be taking his dirt nap by '07? 651997[/snapback] At the risk of being crass, we can only hope.
Chilly Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Ya know, now we hvae the cap space to draft Vince Young.
JDG Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Did you read the part about 07? 651993[/snapback] If it was about 2007, we could have kept Moulds for 2006 and then cut him after the season, for a lot less dead cap space..... Suffice to say, trading him *now* doesn't make a ton of "cap sense."

Suffice to say, trading him *now* doesn't make a ton of "cap sense." 652060[/snapback] Because he's traded, all dead cap space is in 2006. So if you're freeing up cap space for 2007, there's no better way to do it than trading Moulds now. Also saves 5 million cap $ over keeping him this year. Win win-especially if we can do what we did in 1985 & find a great WR in the 4th round

Albany,n.y. Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Thank you Harv! Btw, how are you? 652074[/snapback] Good, but my car pool buddy is now living as close to you as me. Petrino moves to Wappingers Falls this Friday.

JDG 652118[/snapback] I was talking about 2007 dead space if he's cut or traded after 2006. Since he's traded now, the dead space takes place in what is basically a "no win" season. If we're going for it all in 2007, we've freed up more space
bleedinblue Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Bingo! Maybe he'll be taking his dirt nap by '07? 651997[/snapback] So many so called fans jump on the cheap bandwagon without even knowing the facts. The Bills are 19th in total payroll and 21st in median (2004 data). That means they are about middle of the pack and don't throw money down the drain on 2 or 3 ridiculous salaries. Teams that spend a lot more include the Texans (3rd overall) and look what they have. Its not just how much you spend but also how you spend it.
Chilly Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 This thread is pathetic and shameful 652062[/snapback] You didn't help.
clumping platelets Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 LOTS seriously, until I get more detailed numbers on the players signed as FAs and players re-signed...I cannot give an accurate picture for 2007. I also do not have a breakdown of NLTBE/LTBE......at this point, the best guestimate is between $10-15 million
