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!
This is only a test
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

Seeing that Gilmore and Glenn have combined 1 year deals of $24.8M against the 2016 cap, I would say we have that same $24.8M to sign both of them + Taylor to long term deals in 2017.
The only other 2017 UFA's of any remote concern are Marquise Goodwin, Manny Lawson, Jonathan Meeks, Colton Schmidt & Robert Woods... All sign or replace guys at best.
Plus... We'll not have the $12.6M dead money for Mario Williams, Percy Harvin, Chris Williams, Leodis McKelvin, & Kraig Urbik to deal with. I don't see any reason to be hand wringing about the 2017 cap.

I am not worried, it was just a question as I was curious about any dead money that may still exist next year.
Also worst case scenario another round of cuts happen for example Kyle Williams and Aaron Williams.
I saw Chris Williams still had dead money, but I think I read we cut him as a post June 1 designation last year so that is why.
As of right now the Bills have 41 players under contract for 2017 that total about $107 mil in cap spending. The 2017 cap is projected to be around $165-170 mil. That leaves the Bills with about $58-63 mil in cap space for the remaining 12 roster spots. Half of those spots will go to next years rookie class though, which shouldn't take up more than $6 mil or so. A big chunk of the remaining money will likely get eaten up by extensions for Glenn, Gilmore and Taylor. A part from those three players, the only notable free agent next year is Robert Woods. He's probably the only 2017 free agent that could get a significant contract, but he's going to have to step it up this year. I think their dead money should be fairly minimal. In terms of cap space and dead money, I think the Bills will be in better shape next year than this year.

Thanks, so bills may have some money to sign two defensive players if needed. Plus Tyrod, Glenn, Gilmore, and hopefully woods (he needs to become the number 2).
I hope we do not lose Hogan as well he is a good three.
