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

They're estimating the cap hits for our free agent signings, but they're probably not far off. Assuming the Bills need $6 mil for rookies and will save at least a couple mil for late signings, I expect us to to still sign another couple "dust settlers".
So which players that are still available could we see for a 2-4 mil cap hit?
Unreal. How in the hell do you have this crap roster and not have $50 cap left?
You don't make any effort whatsoever to reduce the cap hit like turning base salary into bonuses, taking dead money in years you have cap space, etc.
It was that progressive bullpoop they came out with over 5 years called Cash to Crap -- a propaganda lie to explain away why Ralph isn't signing big signing bonus cheques like the rest of the league does unless they fit into this year's cap. Basically, the opposite of what the Broncos, Saints and Patriots just did.

It is like paying with cash or a credit card.
Eventually the bill comes due.
The Bills pay up front with cash while teams like the Cowboys & Redskins pay with a credit card.
BOTH the Cowboys & Skins are up against it this year because of their spending habits.
The Bills are artificially keeping the cap hit high through their Cap to Crap "policy".
We've had this argument before. Cash to cap isn't a problem. The NFL salary cap is a closed system, so all money is eventually counted. It doesn't matter what year you count it in, as long as you spend it.
If we're only $15 mil under, that means we've spent $118 mil of the $133 mil salary cap for 2014.
Which is 88.7% of the cap.
Under the new CBA, the league mandates that a team spend an average of 89% over a 4 year period.
I have no idea how a team this bad can command such a high percentage of the cap. We don't have anything to show for it. Especially for a team without a franchise QB, which is usually the #1 reason teams have cap issues.
