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

"After restructuring Eric Wood's contract, the Bills now have $12.935 million in 2016 cap room. Whatever they don't use to fill roster spots this season can be carried over into 2017."

I don't think rollover is the motivator here... If we roll over, there's no cap advantage for 2016 or 2017. The fact that they're making room for 2016 cap is telling IMO.

I would agree. It looks like if they don't use that savings in 2016 and roll it over to 2017, then the restructure doesn't really mean anything. Although I don't really understand the cap implications of adding the voidable year in 2018.
I'm hoping this has something to do with an extension for Gilmore that allows them to front load more bonus money in 2016 and lower his cap hits for any subsequent years. I didn't realize they already had about $10 mil in cap space for 2016. That's a lot more then they need for typical in-season moves, so to create more cap room for 2016 is interesting.
Bills C Eric Wood has agreed to reduce his base salary from $4.775 million to $1 million.
$3.775 million of his base salary for 2016 will be converted into a signing bonus. The contract restructure clears about $2.5 million in cap space. The Bills also added a voidable year to Wood's contract. Wood received PFF's fifth-highest grade out of 40 qualifiers at center last season.
It's fine imho, and very prudent, imho. Woods needs to be here. It's a common action established teams will take to maintain the core of successful teams a while longer.
Probably the only thing that throws me off is that the Bills are an 8-8 team doing 12-4 contender contortions with their cap already and they aren't even a playoff team trying to sustain a run.
