Maybin is guaranteed for 15 mil. With the release of him now, the cap hit is 9 mil this year.

Re: Maybin took a bit bite of Bills' cap THIS year
no cap limit in 2011 kids.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

The kids from Jersey Shore deserve their millions more than this ****head. Pathetic.

Not sure how many more times this needs to be said.Originally posted by King Bedard
Cap hits don't matter this year, since there's no cap floor and we aren't even close to the cap ceiling.
Also, where'd you get the 9m figure? That doesn't seem realistic based on how the Bills normally write out their contracts. I'm pretty sure he only had around 5m total left on his contract, and that was in salaries, not necessarily guaranteed money."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Unless I've read something wrong, there is a cap ceiling this season and next, just no floor. Limit on the upper end, not on the lower.Originally posted by King BedardYardRat Wall of Fame

Right... I believe the intent was to say we were avoiding the floor not the ceiling.Originally posted by YardRatI remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

That doesn't mean it should go unnoticed in my opinion. It's just an example of how the Bills front office is gaming the system to their financial benefit. Money is worth more than wins to this franchise. I don't think they see the 2 as relationship oriented. But, I could be wrong.Originally posted by King BedardComment

Nope. I agree, that's the way they run things. But, this was a smart move. Re-investing into the OL would be smart too.Originally posted by Extremebillsfan247

Re: Maybin took a bit bite of Bills' cap THIS year
How is it an example of the FO gaming the system? From the sounds of it, if Maybin's cap hit was high enough they could have simply kept him on the team for a few more years to help reach the cap floor in 2013.Originally posted by Extremebillsfan247"Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

It's money back in there pocket that they likely won't re-invest.Originally posted by psubills62
Besides, 15 mill was guaranteed in 09. His salary is 757K with bonuses available if he hit the incentives which he likely never did.
Not sure where this 9 mill number is coming from.
"8/21/2009: Signed a five-year, $17.6 million contract. The deal contains $15 million guaranteed, including a $7.087 million signing bonus. Another $7.4 million is available through incentives based on playing time and sacks. 2011: $757,500, 2012: $1.12 million, 2013: $1.4825 million, 2014: $1.5 million (Voidable Year), 2015: Free Agent"

Not that they are completely trustworthy but they were discussing it on WGR last week and somebody tossed out an $8M figure (might have been Jerry Sullivan).Originally posted by psubills62

Re: Maybin took a bit bite of Bills' cap THIS year
My response was of a general viewpoint to the no cap limit in 2011 post, and had nothing to do with the Maybin release. Proper comprehension within my post is a requirement for understanding the statement behind it. It was nothing more than my opinion of the no cap limit in 2011 rule, and how the Bills are using that to their benefit which should not go unnoticed.Originally posted by psubills62Last edited by Extremebillsfan247; 08-15-2011, 05:09 PM.Comment
