All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Fitz contract... What does it cost to get out of it.
Many fans are quick to chide Bills head coach Chan Gailey for a purported unwillingness to throw the ball deep. Don't twist his arm into testing the arm of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick ...
This then says "In 2013, Fitzpatrick has a $3 million roster bonus, which also is guaranteed for injury only, along with a base salary of $4.25 million, $3.2 million of which is guaranteed for injury only."
Re: Fitz contract... What does it cost to get out of it.
The signing bonus is spread out across the deal until 2015 so we would be on the hook for at least 6 million there no?
I think the thing to think of here is can a young guy come in and have it be his team or will fitz being here be a disruption. If it will be cut him or trade him no matter what. If it wont be a distraction I think you bring him back for at least one more year.

I think we'd be on the hook for the option bonus too, that gets amortized over the life on the contract as well. So you add 6 and 4 it's around a 10m dead cap hit. Fitz has a cap hit of around 10.5m so the team would actually free up half a million dollars by cutting him. However, finding a replacement QB for half a million is hard to do, so it's probably best to keep him on the roster for one more year, and have Fitz be the backup, a very expensive one. Or we can just ties with him altogether. I'm assuming a QB is added via the draft.

Re: Fitz contract... What does it cost to get out of it.
Hurkey, I'm not sure how the option bonus is treated, if the hit is spread out over the life or not.
If the option bonus is not spread out over the life of the contract, then yes, the dead cap hit would be in the 6 to 6.5m range, which would net the Bills about 4m in actual cap savings if they cut ties with Fitz.

Maximum cap hit, 6,200,000 Minimum cap hit 2,000,000. I think he's guaranteed 3,000,000 before a certain date. So they would need to cut him before this date.

Minimum would happen if they cut him after June, but they then would take a 4m+ dead cap hit in 2014. You can spread the hit over two years if you cut the player after June.
