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!

I think the Bills are at about 18.5 mil under and I believe the Browns, Jags, and Dolphins all have more than that, so it's not uncommon. The Bills can still use that cap space by rolling it into next season. Maybe they plan to be aggressive in free agency next year, which is why they didn't want to spend it all this season. With a rookie head coach and rookie qb, it probably makes sense to not spend big this year. If it becomes an annual thing though, and they never spend to the cap, then I would say it's a problem.

Do you know how much cap room they had last year or the year before that ?

I would believe the Fins are close to the cap with all the FA's they have signed & will be over the cap next year unless they make some hard cuts.
The Fins bought those players on a credit card rather than using cash.
But the credit card bill will be a doozy when it comes.
Real money, the Fins have major bills owed that will come due soon. They're also looking to build a new stadium down there, so there focusing on building a winner that no one can live without.
The Bills profits last year was $12.6 million. It's obvious, without raising ticket prices, the Bills can't afford to spend to the cap. Owners are not in it to lose money.

With the new CBA all teams have to spend close to the cap. We will see if the Bills use the money saved this year on players next year.

Two different pools of money.
One pool is the TV revenue. That's what goes to pay the players. Each team gets more than enough to cover the entire salary cap every year.
The profits come from ticket sales, parking and all that jazz.
Any money from the TV contracts that is not spent on players is pocketed, but not considered profit.
The Detroit Lions lost around $3 million last year, yet they're currently only $2,225,317 under the cap.
