This changes a few things on how much room we have to get FA:
Bills carry over $20.9 M in 2011 cap space to 2012 season

Re: Bills carry over $20.9 M in 2011 cap space to 2012 season
That link doesn't say they carried it over, it says they can carry it over:
Under Article 13, Section 6(b)(v) of the CBA, each team may carry over any remaining cap room from one year to the next by submitting written notice, signed by the owner of the team, to the league office no later than 14 days before the start of the next league year. The written notice must indicate the maximum amount of cap room that the team wishes to shift from one cap year to the next.

Also to be noted is the fact that there have been at least a couple of deals done since those numbers were 'correct'. Lindell for one, Sanborn for another, and the time scale is such, that Pears deal may also not be factored in.
While it's certainly a decent situation to be in, what could be carried over if the Bills want to do so, may be nearer $10 million than $20 million.
It's also possible that the Bills could re-sign another couple of guys before the deadline, and use up a bunch more of that 'space'.Last edited by Buddo; 02-12-2012, 08:55 AM.

This relatively simple device replaces past tools for carrying over cap space, which included (for example) loading up a renegotiated player contract with a phony “likely to be earned” incentive that would chew up space in one year and then trigger a refund to the cap in the next year.
What’s odd about the new procedure is that teams must affirmatively choose to carry over the cap space. If a team wishes to be competitive, why wouldn’t all remaining cap space be carried over in any and every given year?
Doesn't change anything if we decline to submit the written notice in the required time frame.YardRat Wall of Fame
