Could be good with prudent management, could be bad with the way we seem to love being near it without results.

Spotrac has the Bills at almost $28 million in cap room if the cap is $164 million... Looks like if Tyrod Taylor is not on the team next year that frees up another $13 million putting the Bills anywhere from $43 million to $47 million under the cap

Enough room to sign Gilmore, Harvin, Bush, Woods and Mills to lucrative extensions, and spend some money on a vet backup like EJ Manuel.

lol I use to think they had to sign Gilmore to a long term extension... Now not so much.... I think some of that cap room should try to be used on the guy that Tackling Dummy mentioned

I can't really see Romo having a prayer if they keep the offense the same (via Lynn as HC), but at this point it's not like we're going to spend to the cap on anything that works anyway so why not ?

They need to sell tickets next year. Romo is the answer to that.

Russ needs to work his magic.

Hopefully he can stay healthy if he did become a Bill.

If he goes anywhere it would probably be to Denver. Better chance to win.

Romo is the perfect Russ Brandon move, which is why I think it will happen

Of course romo will be hurt on play no.2 of his first preseason game, collect the 40 million dollar signing bonus we gave him while sitting out the season on IR before retiring, while we watch EJ fumble, and stumble the bills to another 7-9 season.

I am going to type XXXYYY in this post so I can search for this post in 1 years time just to resurrect this thread when this future happens. BTW: if Romo does come here, I think i'll take next season off from bills fandom. It will be intolerable to be a bills fan.

I'd rather Cutler, and I hate Jay Cutler, if only because I think he probably could get us a wildcard birth with this roster. Well, assuming the defense isn't a steaming pile of dog poop like it was this year. Of course no sane human wants Cutler on their team more then a season or two, but at this point we're staring at a very real possibility of going 20 years without a playoff game, so i'm willing to roll the dice on him.

The Bills need to go all in on signing Percy Harvin.
