Don't think people really knew the exact numbers even before Mario was signed, doubt we know it now.

The thing is, we had some cap room but not a ton (not like the Bucs). I have a feeling the Bills will be using tricks to stay under the cap that they don't normally use.

Since they had Meachem in town, they probably have enough to sign another decent contract. Somewhere in the range of 5 million per year.

Kam Wimbley? Perhaps Lofton? Awesome.

Its up in the air, we've heard anywhere from 30 to low 20's before Mario, assume 16 of that is gone now. Still need room for rookies.

ty Draftboy and psu. Sounds like nm will happen until draft unless some releases happens. Hoping they sign delph players too help and future free agents 4 next year.

Re: How much cap space...

Need rookie money and also need to extend our own (Byrd, Levitre)...

Now... my question is, these players under contract such as Kevin Brock, David Clowney, Jarron Gilbert, Scott McKillop, Prince Miller, Fendi Onobun, Jay Ross, and Jake Vermiglio... do we free up space when the fat is cut from these 8th stringers?

Re: How much cap space...

i am sure they front loaded a ton into this years salary cap. Its probably the main reason they rolled space over from last year.

Re: How much cap space...

Won't even be able to guess until we see some more specific numbers.

Not nearly enough to even attempt to fill the other holes on the team, that's for sure.

Re: How much cap space...

25 million in signing bonus and 53 total in the first 3 years. i figured it was front loaded heavily.

That would not free up much............top 51 rule

Re: How much cap space...

25 mil signing bonus divided by 6 year pro-ration (4.16 million) + his base, LTBE should give us an idea in NFL cap terms. I'm assuming his cap hit this year will approach at most 8-10 million, because they need around 10 million for draft picks AND re-sign Levitre and/or Byrd and Fred. Just spit-balling though.

Re: How much cap space...

That $25 million could be signing bonus, guaranteed salary, roster bonus...........let's wait for a better breakdown of the deal...........it won't be long

http://www.macsfootballblog.com/2012/03/249m-fully-guaranteed-for-mario.html

According to a league source, $24.9 million of that is fully guaranteed at the time of signing with an additional $14.5 million, that is guaranteed for injury only right now, becoming fully guaranteed on the second day of the 2013 league year.

Those figures are comprised by a $19 million signing bonus, $5.9 million base salary in 2012 and an $8 million option bonus with a $6.5 million base salary in 2013. Williams also has workout bonuses of $100,000 in 2012 and $500,000 in 2013 to bring his two-year cash payout to $40 million.

Looks like if I did my math right 9.8 Million dollar cap hit for this year.
