    How the Bills could allocate the rookie pool

    Bills rookie pool is $3,356,039. Assuming each draft choice is given rookie minimum (I'll get back to McGahee later) of $225,000, 8 draft choices x $225,000=$1.8 million. That leaves $1,556,039 for bonus amortization (actually any type of bonus).

    Already had the following draft choices sign:

    4) WR Aiken (rookie minimum salary and $274,000 signing bonus over 3 yrs, thus his bonus amortization is $91,333/yr)
    5)OL Sobieski (rookie min. and $115,382 signing bonus over 3 yrs, thus his bonus amortization is $38,461)
    6)DT Sape (rookie min. and $68,500 signing bonus over 3yrs, thus his bonus amortization is $22,833)

    Undrafted rookie FAs count about $11,000, so if you add those 4 numbers up, you get $163,627. That leaves $1,392,412 for the remaining draft choices. I'll start with 7th rd pick LB Haggan and work to McGahee.

    7) LB Haggan: likely to sign 3 yr deal for rookie min. salaries(225K, 305K, and 380K). Signing bonus approx. $37,320 over 3 yrs

    $1,392,412
    - 12,440
    ----------------
    $1,379,972

    4) CB McGee: many 4th rd picks are signing 4 yr deals w/ rookie min. salaries and I'll go that trend. Player drafted #117 rec'd s.b of $320,000 over 4 yrs. I'll give him $334,000 over 4 yrs ($83,500/yr)

    $1,379,972
    - 83,500
    ---------------
    $1,296,472

    3)LB Crowell: same here, 4 yrs w/ rookie minimums. Pick #92 rec'd $425,000, so I'll give Angelo $432,000 over 4 yrs ($108,000/yr)

    $1,296,472
    - 108,000
    ---------------
    $1,188,472

    2) DE Kelsay: may get 5 yr deal because 2 players after him have(ATL's DB Bryan Scott(signed) and MIA's LB Eddie Moore(soon) ). Scott rec'd $1.25 million signing bonus at pick #53, so I'll give Kelsay $1.4 million over 5 yrs ($280,000/yr) at pick #48 and I'll even start him off at a slightly higher salaries of $325,000, $365,000, $400,000, $475,000, and $500,000 for a total of $3.465 million. His additonal cap charge over the rookie minimum is $380,000

    $1,188,844
    - 380,000
    ---------------


    $808,472<--------left over for McGahee

    1) RB McGahee: he already counts $225,000 on rookie cap, so his cap hit can be $808,472 more. He's likely to be on PUP, so his salary is basically guaranteed for the season. However, I wouldn't give him any more than $500,000 salary. That's $275,000. I would also give him $75,000 workout bonus. So, that leaves $458,472. Multiply that number by 5 yrs and you get a signing bonus of $2,292,360. HOWEVER, I do not give him that whole amount. I would give him $1,750,000 in 2003 and spread that out over 5 yrs and then give him a 2004 roster bonus and option payment. $1.75 million signing bonus would be amortized at $350,000/yr, thus Bills would still have $108,472 available on the rookie cap. :)

    you need a woman...you have too much time...total conjecture...total mental masturbation...the contract could be drawn up in hundreds of ways...

        How do you justify paying RB McGee so little, the Bills new he was injured when they drafted him in the 1st Rd at 23..that's where he should be paid at..if the bills didn't want to pay him at that rate, they shouldn't have drafted him that high...That's just plain wrong....Period.

          Does mental masturbation lead to premature conjecturation?

            He gets a 2 tiered bonus just like the #22 and #23 in 2002 and they were healthy. Instead of playing ALL the signing bonus up front, he gets some in 2004. I also have given him a $500,000 salary, which is more than some late #1's get. The split bonuses allows the Bills to also fit under the rookie cap.

            He gets the same money, just in 2 seasons.

                What's he going to do, hold out? He could sit and get paid while he heals, or he can sit and not get paid while he heals. He's not going to collect huge bucks when he is not playing.


                Go pay your 6th round linebacker 2nd round money because the fins were too stupid and drafted him waaaay to high.

                    Well that does kind of clear things up but if you look at todays article in the D&C it almost seems like we are waiting for McGahee first in order to sign the rest.

                      I personally would do it the other way around so as not to screw the other draft picks.

                        He maybe starting, and maybe you should go to one of our TC, see for yourself if it was too high, don't read the critic quote, go look for yourself, My only comment and Chump has clarified himself, was that you don't jerk someone, when you know the deal. If he was able to hide his injury from you, then yea, jerk him, because he jerked you first, but in this situation, I was stating my opinion, like it or not, I'm entitle to that, no matter what the Jerk$ff here may think. :pow: Now that I got that out of my system, thanks chump for the update.:teeth:

                          Personally Ilike your way of doing it the way discribed in the paper does make it sound like your screwing up the rest of the signing process. Atleast sign kelsay and crowell so we have good depth then go back and hammer away at McGahee but TD knows what he is doing so it's in his hands.
