Who get's left out? Nigel or Cordy? I love the move keeping one of our best players but it's going to get interesting come February....
So now what?

Re: So now what?
This is what good teams do - re-sign the core players and that sometimes mean letting a good player walk. The key is being able to replace them through the draft.
Not sure what they will or will not have room to do. Would assume those are the two next on the list if possible."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: So now what?
It's hard to say right now what kind of money we're talking about for Bradham and Glenn, but they could re-sign both. Some potential cuts that would provide cap space for 2016 include:
McKelvin $3.9 mil
Lawson $2.7 mil
Urbik $1.8 mil
Dixon $1.2 mil
Wynn $1.0 mil
Those numbers represent cap savings for 2016, which would be almost $11 mil right there. Whaley has also already talked about restructuring Mario's deal, which would probably add at least a few million in savings.
Right now Gilmore and Harvin have cap hits on the books for next season of $11 mil and $10 mil, respectively. Depending on what happens with Harvin this season, he'll likely either get cut or sign a new deal with a lower cap number. Gilmore could also sign a new deal too that would likely reduce his cap number.
So I think they'll have enough cap room, or can at least create room to re-sign who they want, but don't expect the Bills to be active in free agency next season. Any holes/depth are going to have to be filled through the draft, or with low cost vets.

For next year, we have three starters up for UFA: Glenn, Bradham, and Incognito and two backups: Cassel and Brown. It remains to be seen whether Incognito will play his way into justifying a second deal, ditto cassel and Brown.
So that leaves Bradham and Glenn. A left tackle is a much more important player then a ILB, but otoh Whaley has already thrown two draft picks at OTs in the last few years and ILBs come much cheaper. I think the writing is on the wall for Glann, which sucks. He was the best value pick of the Nix era.
