Your work is quite admirable. One thing - do The Bills have any dead cap money spent on players no longer on the team e.g., Drew Bledsoe, Mike Williams, and Bennie Anderson? That would cut into the $11mill available figure wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Thanks for the work. If I'm to understand how to interpret your 'dead cap' column, it looks like both P.Price & Reed are going to make the roster unless something very unlikely occurs. i.e. Their cap hit if cut is quite high.

Typical TBD Guy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Almost $12 million under...can we use that space to front-load new contracts for Fletcher and Clements? Or has Ralph now chosen the small-market, Golisano approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Great work CP! I feel greedy for asking, but anything you can tell us about 07 as time passes will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 It looks like the only real cap savings (if that's even something they'd be looking for) would come from cutting Posey. He'd leave over a million more in room. Noted also that it looks like Nall has a 2.5M escalator (for starting job?). Thanks, CP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hopefully they take the extra money and sign some guys long-term, and use any remaining money as likely to be earned incentives that will never be reached, so they can get a cap credit for next year.

clumping platelets Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Dead cap for all players gone is already accounted for in the calculations and the amount devoted to the 2006 cap is at the bottom of the chart Before we start extending players, about $3 million will be needed for signing draft picks. Yes, I know it's different than the rookie cap number but that's because not all rookie deals count on the overall cap only vs rookie pool........I'll explain this later I also would make the safe assumption that about $1.5 million would go to the bonuses for those players I do not have info on yet......thus, the Bills would have about $6-7 million PLUS cap space gained from releasing players before the season starts....

ganesh Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Is most of the dead cap attributed to Moulds and Mike Williams? 713171[/snapback] I think we will have some dead cap due to the release of Milloy, Bennie too.. Also, there will be some cap hits to take when we may have to let go some of the WRs, Coy Wire, and may be Posey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCBoston Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Why do I have a feeling that for the Bills, going forward, these kinds of discussions will be academic? The time is not far away (if it isn't already) that the Bills will not spend to the cap, because if they did, they would lose money. We'll see when everything fills out later this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't use all the cap room we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 14 mill in dead cap that will become very handy next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yes, $500,000 from Bennie Anderson release 713236[/snapback] OK, but this does mean that he was under contract in 07 and that we will in fact have additional 07 cap space because he was released, no? Oh, and thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
