        No problem. There are definitely guys out there am willing to sign but what worries me is no talk/rumors we're bringing any guys in for a look or been linked that we've been interested but many Whaley was more focused on re-signing Carpenter today and waiting the dust to settle before we look at other positions. You also missed a few LB candidates like Jon Beason and Jonathan Vilma that could be on our radar.

          Shoot. Blackmon would've been a nice target.

            Michael Oher for around 5-6 million a year would be ideal and a huge upgrade over Pears. Cutting Pears would save 3 million of that money as it is. It would also give us more flexibility in the draft.

            Throw in somebody like Spikes for 4 million a year and maybe a TE like Graham or Daniels for 3 million a year and we would still have a ton of cap room.

              The problem is the Bills never spend to the cap they always leave tons of wiggle room.

                  Oh of course we never come close to spending to the cap. Even with a scenario like that we would have plenty of cap room available.

                  The 5-6 million for somebody like Oher is basically money saved from cutting Kolb and then eventually releasing Erik Pears. That ends up being a wash on our current cap numbers.

                  Throw in another 7 million a year between Spikes and another TE and that probably still leaves us around 15 million in cap space. Especially after we end up making other cuts, etc. Considering that Perry Riley only got 4 million a year from Washington then Spikes might not even command that much. He could be looking at more of a short term deal for 3-3.5 million a year.

                    On the flip side, the Bills have lost a total of zero players to free agency so far.

                      and the Jets, Patriots and Dolphins combined have lost 1 player. As the Dolphins lost Paul Solial but replaced him with Earl Mitchell and signed Branden Albert and Luis Delmas.

                        The Fins have again overspent IMO. Hopefully for us they again don't get their moneys worth.

                            They may overspend but still won 2 more games than the Bills last year.

                              Is 2 games worth 20+ mill spent?

                              I think their approach of overspending is the wrong plan.
