Most definitely. They will have to eat the unamortized signing bonus and any other guaranteed money. IIRC, it comes out to about $24M over 2 seasons.

It looks like only $5M in savings this year and $2M in savings in 2018, but it gets him totally off the Dead Cap numbers after 2018.

Even after the bonus is taken into account, the Bills save $8M cap over 2017 & 2018. The 2017 remaining cap can be rolled over to 2018... In essence, that's $8M extra for 2018.

The neighboring seafood buffet and China buffet have already filed a chapter 11 BK in anticipation.

It’s not just that the team traded a player as talented as Marcell Dareus, or that they only got a conditional sixth-round draft pick in return for him. Or even that they did it with the willingness to eat $24 million in dead salary cap space over the next season and a half. It’s that they did all of that while actually winning games and having a real chance to end their seventeen year playoff drought. They traded a player who is good enough to help them do that. Yet they did it with the conviction that it won't change the positive direction the season is already going.

The problem that I see with this move: good luck finding someone equal to or better than Dareus for $2.3 million.

It's possible to get rid of talented players but still improve as a team. We shall see.

We've been questioning their moves all season and their currently a very competitive 4-2. Management has earned the benefit of the doubt from me.

They haven't earned **** yet.

2002- Started 5-3, ended 8-8
2003- Started 2-0 with two huge victories, finished 6-10
2005- Won the first game and everyone was excited about Losman, finished 5-11
2008- Started 4-0, finished 7-9
2011- Won the first 3 and got to 5-2, finished 6-10 (lost 7 straight and 8 of the last 9)
2014- Won the first 2, got to 5-3, finished with a winning record of 9-7 but still missed the playoffs
2016- Lost the first 2, won 4 straight to get to 4-2, still finished 7-9

I know, I know. Different coaches, different FO, etc.

But this team has proven time and time again that complete morons can put together a good six game stretch. Six games proves nothing.

You know what's really interesting about that list? Not a single example cited involves a first year head coach and staff, all occurred after a guy/staff had been in place at least one full season prior.
