16.8 million for a slightly better than average DE unit.... ouch!

Re: Bills top cap numbers for 2008

Right BWB that much cash for a DE unit that cant even sack a 70 QB in a wheelchair

They need to cut Denney.

They could be much better with another DE, Denney isn't worth $3.1 million against the cap, healthy or not.

Re: Bills top cap numbers for 2008

And if Tripplet is counting $3.8 against the cap he should be gone as well. That's brutal.

we'll do just fine with McCargo and a decent FA DT who's more equipped to stop the run.

Re: Bills top cap numbers for 2008

I'm hoping that Kelsay will turn it up now that he's had surgery. If he doesn't, he needs to be cut. I was upset when they extended him last year and will be upset if he doesn't produce this year!

Schobel needs to gain weight and get back to what he was doing before last year!!

We also need to draft a Center. Fowler is costing us too much for what he's producing...

Re: Bills top cap numbers for 2008

I'm not sure Denney will get cut as there's not a lot in the FA ends out there. I can see him going next year and would love it if we could grab LAWRENCE WILSON of OHIO STATE there.

Tripplett should be gone as he is now impeeding McCargo's progress and with so many decent tackles in this draft, we could pick up his replacement.

The problem with the centers are they are all undersized. I would give Merz a very very long look here, but I'd also look at the likes of Andrew Crummey of Maryland, over 300lbs and listed as a guard but has played center before

Tripplett won't likely be gone. If we grab a DT in the draft then Jason Jefferson is the likely candidate to be dropped.

As for Center, I think John Sullivan will be a likely pick for us. He's big and yet, among the fastest of the centers. He didn't have a good year this past year which is why he was not #1, but if he could focus and regain his form that he showed earlier, he could be one of the best Centers of this draft.

Re: Bills top cap numbers for 2008

It's a total ****ing joke how much money we're paying for some of these bums.

Parrish and Reed are making multi-millions for being 3rd and 4th stringers?

And Ryan Denney a rotational, backup player is making 3 mil.

Melvin Fowler is an overpaid bum, as is Royal.

You know Ralph, you wouldnt be *****ing about being so ****in broke and helpless if you were SMART with who you throw your money at. Save money on these bums you brought in and throw it at a GOOD COACHING STAFF!!!

Re: Bills top cap numbers for 2008

How is the "real pay" and "cap figure" so much different using cash to cap?

[clumping platelets]

Re: Bills top cap numbers for 2008

real pay is the cash to cap

[yordad]

Re: Bills top cap numbers for 2008

real pay is the cash to cap

So, what specifically wasn't counted upfront (not counting years salary)? Roster bonuses and such?

Jamey Richard, UB in the 6th will replace Fowler in 1 year or less.
