Wow! Looks like the Bills don't need to worry about signing anyone right to get to the floor. There is NO floor! I guess we know why Ralph and Mike Brown both voted yes on the new CBA.

Re: No salary cap floor until 2013!!!
are you ****ing kidding me?
This can't be right- there is no way the players would have agreed to that. -
Re: No salary cap floor until 2013!!!
I'm sure I read that this year they have to spend 99% of the cap, and then it goes down to 89% in 2013.Comment

Re: No salary cap floor until 2013!!!
And I realize this is borderline conspiracy theory and may open Pandora's box, but it's awfully convenient that the cap floor kicks in the season AFTER the stadium lease with the county ends....Comment

S**t. I didn't realize that. I guess we're probably done with free agency.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

@ClaytonESPN That explains why my Bengals are 50 million under the cap with no sign of spending a red cent of it.

Re: No salary cap floor until 2013!!!
it is 99% this year, 95% next, and then 89%. I think Clayton is confused.Comment

Re: No salary cap floor until 2013!!!
does anyone have a link to back any of this up?
If Clayton is right, I'm going to be livid, but I will withhold my full-fledged rant until we get confirmation.
If he's wrong, it's yet another problem with Twitter: the guy makes one mistake and millions of people know within seconds.Comment

Re: No salary cap floor until 2013!!!
that's what I thought I heard on NFLN a few days ago as well. Clearly someone is wrong.Originally posted by T-Long
Either way, the Bills have a problem, though. If there is no floor, then you can all but guarantee we are done with FA and Ralph is just going to sit back and pocket the money.
If the floor is 99% of $120 million, then we're not even close, and all the guys worth spending big money on are gone.Comment

Re: No salary cap floor until 2013!!!
Here ya go
Cash Minimum (Guaranteed Spend)
In 2011 and 2012, there is league-wide commitment to cash spending of 99% of the Cap.
In 2013-16 and 2017-20, this number drops to 95%. Also during these years, each team must commit to cash spending of 89% of the Salary Cap.

Re: No salary cap floor until 2013!!!
Not true. Buffalo could be under 89%
On a leaguewide basis cash salary must total 99% of the cap the next two years. That does not mean per team. In other words, if the Jets spend 140 million in cash and the Bills spend 100 million the league is in compliance. Starting in 2013, each team will have to spend 89% of the salary cap in cash, over a 4 year period. That means that if a team is filled with dead money they don’t have to overspend in cash that year to reach the minimum. They have 4 years to spend it, so if the salary cap was $120 million from 2013-2017 each team has to spend around $427 million to be in compliance with the CBA.Comment
