    Buffalo Bills $7.38 Million Under Salary Cap, Per Report

    Per Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, the Buffalo Bills are $7.38 million under the 2012 salary cap - even after handing out $50 million guaranteed to defensive end Mario Williams this off-season.


    The Buffalo Bills had a wildly productive and busy off-season that was also, when you get right down to it, quite expensive. Mario Williams is, after all, the highest-paid defender in NFL history - and while he was clearly the priciest player the team added, millions more were spent not just on new players, but on re-signing incumbents.

    Over the weekend, Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com reported salary cap figures for all 32 teams in the league. As of June 22, the Bills were $7.38 million under the cap, with 17 teams having committed more money to players at this point in time.

        Well, I think that is great news. Let's get Andy resigned for starters.

            We need Levitre and Byrd signed long term. They'll probably carry it over to next year.

              Please. No one tell Kelsay.

              It's been, what...3 months since his 14th extension ?

                They're negotiating his 15th as we speak, just to get a jump on the market.

                  You cheap bastard Ralph! I knew that no good Buddy Nix was lying through his teeth.

                  Once we make some cuts of a few veteran players that figure should go up too. I really hope we can extend Levitre and Byrd soon and use all of the remaining cap to absorb some of their contracts.

                  Does anyone know the specifics about carrying over cap space into next year? I was under the impression that that was only an option for this year.

                    Can we sign one more FA?
                    Is this to cover the rookies cap?
                    Is this money to absorb players extensions?

                        This is a good point- if it's "rollover" cap space, then we have to be very careful how we spend it, as it likely won't be available to us next year. I'm sure the cap will go up, but the early reports this off-season had us with a lot of "rollover" cap, and if those estimates were correct, then it's unlikely that next year's cap will go up enough to compensate for it.

                        If we can't use it as a signing bonus to extend someone, then maybe it's better not to use it.

                        Wow, I can't believe I just said that.

                            I'd like to see the Bills' math on this as well, just to be clear on how they're accounting for the money.
