    2007 Payroll - Guewss where the Bills stand...

    Payroll is the actual dollar amount an NFL team paid its players this season. Due to amatorized bonuses and other things the payroll amount can exceed the actual salary cap amount. Guess where the Bills stand with regard to the rest of the league as far as payroll for the 2007 season (as of today).

    No helping from Clump.

              Could part of this reason be that the Bills are still paying for FAs that are no longer on the team? Just wondering...

                Im not sure this is a reason. If I remember correctly the Bills dead cap is low.

                  I believe it was all the bonuses from recent signings were paid upfront. Not amortizing the bonuses means a ton of cap space this coming year.

                  Whether we use it or not is another story.

                      it is top 5.

                      the bills re-signed guys and paid it all out this year. that means we can spend our 30 bucks next season and whatever we have in 09 to power up our team and re-sign evans, edwards, peters, and anyone else who has it coming.

                        It seems that the Bills like to front load contracts with upfront bonuses rather than backload and spread out bonuses. Is that basically what we're seeing here?

                          Yes. It gives them money to spend every year and avoids using the cap like a "credit card".

                            Well, if it is true that the Bills salary lists in the top 5 then I for one am incredibly disgusted. It's one thing to call an owner cheap, its another to spend that kind of cash on a team that continually under performs.

                            No matter how you look at it, this team is in a significant amout of trouble and I think its going to take something as drastic as new ownership to float this sinking ship. Let's just hope its not too late.

                              I think all that means is other teams had more deap cap space. It doesn't mean we spent more, just means they spent sooner.

                              Although I can't be sure because there is no link.
