Oh, goodie. Maybe Pegula, Brandon, Whaley and Ryan can get all tanked up on the yacht again and bring in another flashy toy at 9mil per season.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Cap may rise $10 million...manna for Whaley?
The Bills can save $12.9 million against the cap by releasing Mario Williams this offseason.
Anyone remember when Mario publicly said back in January that he wanted to play linebacker after Rex was hired?
Mario Williams is undergoing yet another coaching change as he enters his 10th season in the NFL. A switch to linebacker has the veteran defender excited heading into the offseason in Buffalo.
"I look forward to it," he said. "So hopefully if (Ryan) hears this, this is my call-in: Will Linebacker. So hopefully it works out."
It's not working out.
Mario Williams is not going to be playing in a Bills uniform next season.
Neither will Kyle Williams ($8 million cap hit) Leodis McKelvin ($4.9 million cap hit) or EJ Manuel ($2.8 million cap hit).
That's almost $29 million in cap savings, plus an additional $10 million is $39 million to play with.
Corey Graham has a $4.7 million cap hit in 2016.
Manny Lawson has a $3.4 million cap hit in 2016.
Kraig Urbik has a $2.6 million cap hit in 2016.
That's about an additional $11 million.
$50 million of cap space is plenty to work with.

Re: Cap may rise $10 million...manna for Whaley?
Whaley is the same junk he always is, endless potential when they get healthy, overpay for whatever, express full confidence in your organization that can't scout cheap ass positions you overpay for, stick with your loud choices always, and bring in a new crop of whatever you have to wheel and deal to get in a stoner's video game.
Oh yeah, good deal. His higher calling is regional scout and that's the last you'll see of him once we boot him. No no, he'll find a cheap running back then and some outstanding linebacker in 5 years and a bunch of people will miss him but I won't be one of them. He'll spend that 10 million and cost us 25 and another year unless someone reins him in, and they won't but Ryan will blame him anyway down the road.

Originally posted by EDS View PostWell, won't a portion of the money for any players that are cut count against the cap (dead cap money)? Also, if they lose Mario and Kyle the defense becomes pretty very thin on talent up front. Remember, they need to re-sign Glenn, Incognito, Bradham and others with that cap space, in addition to replacing Mario, Kyle, Graham, etc.
Cap hit - dead money = savings if released

Kyle probably retires, McKelvin gets cut, Urbik, probably Lawson. We'll have cap room I'm not at all worried about it.
