Only 48 players under contract (lowest in the league). 19th ranked in cap space, if they don't ace this off-season we're in for a rough couple of years.

Last year Whaley signed 2 pro bowlers for vet minimum. Previously he made some great trades. Hunter also came in and had a few TDs, so I have faith in Whaley to escape this year again unharmed.
We definitely need to do something about Clays contract, along with Dareus.

They just signed 2 safeties. So that need looks filled for the time being.

I'll wait to see how the entire off-season plays out before playing taps.
They are filling a lot of needs rather quickly. WR, OLB, CB looks like the main remaining needs. Draft and FA can solve that. Seem to have the room.

Oddly enough they outbid GB for Hyde who is actually in a better spot than BUF cap wise, but second worst in terms of contracts.

I'm guessing more cuts could be coming. Corey Graham, Eric Wood stand out as targets. Then some cap relief redo's with a few others.

We've been in a rough spot for 17 years. But with the signings of a couple of decent safeties, Houshka to replace Carpenter, and the re-signing of Schmidt, we're not too bad. WR, RT and CB still need help, and maybe LB. But Lawson and Ragland could fill some needs, as could Listenbee at WR.

I like the fact that they made a needed acquisition or two early. Particularly Hyde. And the other Safety.
I'm also on board with the two FBs. One the best blocking FB in the NFL, the other guy a definite 3rd and short guy, who can give them an additional wrinkle at the goal line, if both he and Shady are on the field. Is he blocking for Shady, or is he powering over? You can possibly get a miss match by slipping Shady out wide, and shoveling it to him with a fake hand off also.
Still plenty of holes to fill, but I'm starting to get a sense of a genuine plan being in place to give them the most options come the draft.
They were apparently looking at a Bucs WR and STs ace, (Russell Shepard) who seemingly fits exactly the profile McDermott wants, i.e. high character, team guy, who just loves the game, but it seems our new HCs old team have beaten us to the punch. Could have been a useful #3 WR and STs guy for us. Wouldn't have cost that much either.

How much do they save by cutting Clay? He's useless, and they can get just as much productivity out of someone a fraction of this cost, IMO

To be fair, he's not useless
The guy throwing him the ball is useless at seeing him wide open down the field

With reports of the Bills pursuing Jarred Cook ( Garafalo) and Martellus Bennet (Capaccio says there are rumors, though I have not seen any) you have yo wonder if Clays cut is coming. Would make sense to me.

Well, you know what I meant. It's pointless to have him if the QB is blind.

Due to the coaching change, this is a good year to have a large roster turnover.

I am not a cap guy. But his original deal had 24.5M guaranteed. His first year paid 13M of that with his bonus and salary. He was due 10M as a roster bonus last year. But it looks like the Bills spread that out over 4 years with the restructure. So He's still owed about 8M. That's how I interpret it.

It looks like his cap hit is 9 million each of the next 3 years. where's clump when you need him
They don't save any cap space by cutting Clay. He still has $13.5 mil in prorated bonus money on the books, so if they cut him his cap hit increases from $9 mil to $13.5 mil. Clay is likely here for another couple years whether he plays well or not.

Try getting over yourself. Pegula has ruined pro sports in Buffalo. The Sabres and Bills are flailing. But to some blind faith idiots Pegula is a savior. Couldn't be farther from the truth. I wish he'd get the hell out of Buffalo pro sports. He's awful.
