Spotrac has us at 15.5 mil in room with a cap of 155 and no roll-over. We currently sit at 6.6 under which we would roll-over. I think next years cap heads north of 160 personally. I think when all is said and done the Bills will sit at around 30 mill in cap space.
Let walk
1. Gilmore- Never been a huge fan and is having a down year. He's demanding top 5 or even 10 CB money. I feel Darby is actually better most of the time. I'd rather move on and look to the draft or a cheaper free agent
2. Reggie Bush
3. EJ
4. Goodwin- Never showed he's a consistent performer and I'd rather have size
5. Dan Carpenter- Please cut this guy
6. Aaron Williams- We simply can't have a starting safety with so many serious health concerns
Re-sign
1. Zack Brown- When Ragland comes back move him to SAM to start in front of Alexander. He's 26 and a great pickup
2. Robert Woods- Contract terms will be key. I think the #2 WR spot should be upgraded and Woods should move to the slot and get paid appropriately there.
3. Jordan Mills- Contract again is key. I don't want him getting starting RT money. But, if he is willing to take backup RT money he's 25 and could be a decent backup option.
4. Greg Salas- I just like his play
5. Lorenzo Alexander- to a vet min contract or maybe a bit more but not starting money
Free-Agency
1. Morris Claiborne- Having a good year and is 26. I don't think he'll be looked at as a #1 CB but should get starting #2 CB money. I think Darby will be our #1 going forward. The draft is the other option.
2. Greg Zeurlien or Mike Nugent- Both are having good years. Nugent would be a cheaper version.
Draft
1. Mike Williams, WR, Clemson- Becomes the big #2 WR we've wanted
2. Christian McCaffery, RB/KR/PR, Stanford- Crazy? Think of what he could do as our #2 RB both as a runner and receiver. Oh BTW he can be our primary returner as well
3. Connor McDermott, OT, UCLA
5. Amba Etta-Tawo, WR, Syracuse- We need to restock and Etta-Tawo has been impressive on an awful Syracuse team
6. Brandon Facyson, CB, VT
One thing I didn't do is talk cap:
1. I think the cap moves to 162 mill
2. I think we roll over 6.6 mill
3. Our cap would then be 168.6
4. As per Spotrac our top 51 count as 140.2
5. That puts us at 28.4 mill under
6. We probably need 6 mill for the draft pool
7. That puts us at 22.4 mill in room to spend
8. Zack Brown- at 26 and coming off a good year I think the cap hit could be 4-5 mill
9. Lorenzo Alexander- at 34 and going into next year in a backup role I'd say 3-4 mill
10. Jordan Mills- Probably gets done for 3 mill cap hit in year one with incentives to escalate from there
11. Robert Woods- Probably around 5 mill
12. That puts us at between 5.4 and 7.4 in cap space
13. Morris Claiborne- I think it could be setup to be a 5 to 7 cap hit
