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!
This is only a test
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

Shouldn't that stuff be happening by now? I.e. restructuing Josh, Von, and perhaps others, releasing McKenzie, and otherwise maneuvering to get under the cap and create the space we need to do some business next week?

p.s. Releasing McKenzie was intended as an example. He may be someone they keep on the roster until when/if there's a clear better option.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?
Re: Restructures and other cap-related roster moves
Everyone’s favorite Bills beat writer, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic has published his Bills mock offseason, that details how they can become cap compliant and proceed through FA and the draft.
Of course, the Edmunds hates are not going to like it since it mocks the Bills extending Edmunds (which is the VERY smart move to do). Here is edited version of the FA part of his 2023 offseason mock....
I don't think anything can be done until the official start of the season, which is March 15th I think
Actually they have to get at or under the cap before 4:00 PM on the 15th.
End/Start of League Year. Prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, clubs must exercise options for 2023 on all players who have option clauses in their 2022 contracts.
Prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, clubs must submit Qualifying Offers to their Restricted Free Agents with expiring contracts to retain a Right of First Refusal/Compensation.
Prior* to* 4:00* p.m.,* New* York* time,* clubs* must* submit* a* Minimum* Salary* Tender* to* retain* exclusive negotiating rights to their players with expiring 2022 contracts who have fewer than three Accrued Seasons of free agency credit
Top 51 Rule is in effect. All clubs must be under the 2023 Salary Cap prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time. All 2022 NFL player contracts will expire at 4:00 p.m., New York time.
The 2023 League Year and Free Agency period begin at 4:00 p.m., New York time.

Re: Restructures and other cap-related roster moves
It's happening all over the league right now.

"It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you" Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist pollshowing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.

Took the words right out of my mouth! I was listening to the Bills game, I think it was the Browns game where they were throwing snowballs. He got hit with one and I swear he was going to cry! He said something like, I was just hit with a snowball this really needs to stop that hurt, lol. I mean he was almost crying!
Re: Restructures and other cap-related roster moves
I've been a little surprised too that it's been so quiet this week. I expected at least a couple obvious restructures to be done like Josh and Von, but maybe it's a pretty easy formality that they already have set up or in the works.
I'm wondering if maybe they're waiting until Monday to see if they're able to come to terms with a few key players before finalizing some of their decisions on contract restructures and cuts.
