Unfortunately there aren't really any players out there now worth blowing any cap room on. They just aren't going to make the Bills any better.

But we couldn't afford Levitre or any FA's who may have helped...

But Ralph's not cheap....

All the decent proven veterans willing to take cheap deals for one or two years and all we got was Lawson and McKelvin. But hey we have almost 20 million in cap room to spare.

Remember that cap space can be carried over into next cap year

Too bad we couldn't have front loaded a Byrd deal.

Front loading 100 pounds when he wants a ton still doesn't get it done.

Dude, it isn't about affording them. Why strap a future year with an over priced GUARD? The money can be rolled over, rather than way overspent on weak free agents before the new coach even has a chance to adequately identify roster needs.

If they would have spent it you'd be *****ing twice as bad later.

So he he could stand on the sidelines with bad feet, sporting a bigger money belt.

I highly doubt buffalo is going to be active in FA and do anything that resembles what the skins and now the phins are doing.

I think we are going to let some guys walk like Levitre but work to retain certain core young guys.

I know everyone is still mad about Levitre but lets be honest we can draft a guard in the middle rounds and he will be sevicable. Especially if Wood and Glenn turn out to be elite. I am more concerned about RT, I am all for drafting an elite tackle in this years draft.

Two guys we will probably extend towards end of the year if they play well are Carrington and Chandler.

Also this offseason they have to decide whether to use the 5 year option on Dareus which is the average of top 10 DTs salary. I know he is going into year 3 and has a 4 year deal, but teams have to decide after year 3 if they will exercise the option year or not.

Lastly have to assume they are going to want to extend Spiller as well so in actuality 20 million is not that much.

Yeah, and there's a point at which front loading becomes a questionable policy as well. For instance, if Byrd wanted 40M over 4 years, and you pay him 25M this year because, hey we have the space, and then he gets a career altering injury (or kills his friend Odin) and you have to release him next year . . . you paid a safety 25M for one year. Alternatively, these guys have a penchant for what-have-you-done-for me-lately. Three years from now when Byrd is looking at his 5m paycheck, he's going to be feeling a little underpaid, despite the fact that he got a big chunk in year 1

Please. $19 million.

I'm not saying they have to spend right up to the cap or go after every big name FA, but don't tell me that there is nothing they could do with that money that would have helped the team.

As far as Levitre- well, Colin Brown got rated the worst player in the entire NFL in week 1. We spent a high draft pick on Levitre just a few years ago. Now, we have replace him with another draft pick or FA, which means NOT using that draft pick or FA money on another position of need (of which we still have many).

You are witnessing the never-ending rebuilding cycle: this team always creates new holes before the current holes are ever addressed.
