2024 Buffalo Bills Cap Tracker

[Forward_Lateral]

Started the day 40 million over.

With the moves so far, overthecap.com has them at only 19 million over.

No major restructuring done yet, like JA17, Von, etc.

[Forward_Lateral]

Update:

Cutting Hines and Tre puts the Bills at 9 million over

Hopefully no Von restructuring just Josh.

[Woodman]

Hopefully no Von restructuring just Josh.

Wish we could just erase Von altogether.

[Forward_Lateral]

Up to date to the moment:

1.1 million over.

Up to date to the moment:

That’s great if true…unless I missed something other than Von’s restructure, the release of Tre, Morse, Poyer, and others, I thought we’re still $20-25m over. Did they restructure Diggs?

[cas22]

you guys need to learn how to read the cap numbers, right now we are a little over 7 mil over the cap.

[Novacane]

9 million over because Tre whites savings can't be counted yet since he's a 6/1 cut. Technically FL # of 1 under under us correct.

[Novacane]

That doesn't include Rapp and Trubisky. The site I'm looking at doesn't have them vet. With Whites savings added in, 7 million over sounds right.

[Forward_Lateral]

No. They are 9 million over.

please, if you are going to insult people by saying they need to learn to read, you should probably at least have the proper facts. I'm trying to do a service here for people who want the cap info. If you think you can do better, have at it.

[Forward_Lateral]

Tre's cap number and money technically isn't available until after June 1st. That will bring it down approx 10 million.

I don't think the signings can technically be added until the league season starts, that's why neither sportrac or overthecap has those included yet. I'm not sure on that.

Rapp's rumored deal is 3 years worth up to 14.5 million. I'm guessing the guaranteed cap hit is probably 3-4 million a year, maybe less

Haack is probably a vet min for a punter, whatever that is

[notacon]

Once they restructure Josh Allen, they will have plenty of cap room to sign FA's and the rookie class.

Brandon Beane channelling his inner Michael Corlene....

'Mitch Morse is cut, so is Tre' White....Jordon Poyer....Harty....Hines....today I settle all family business...."


The only surprise is Mitch Morse. He will be missed but probably best to get this over with now, to make moving younger and setting up for success both TODAY and going forward.


The "Purge" will not effect competitiveness in any substantial manner. With (soon to be after compensatory 3rd round pick is awarded) eleven draft picks and money to spend on mid level free agents......Beane keeps on showing why he is such a smart GM.

[Forward_Lateral]

According to Overthecap.com:

Currently the Bills sit at 14.8 million over the cap

According to Sportrac they are 12.5 over.

Not sure where the 2 million dollar discrepancy comes from
This does not include:

Cutting Tre post June 1, which saves 10 million

[jamze132]

They have to be under by noon today?

The Family is deeply offended by this.

A. The salary cap is $255,400,000 per club. Q. When must teams be in compliance with the salary cap? A. At the start of the 2024 League Year, which begins at 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 13

[DraftBoy]

Knox has restructured which should put the Bills below the cap pending post-June 1 cut designation.

Thanks for allowing me to be lazy and not look it up :lol:

Also curious to see what Dawkins' extension does. I'm sure they worked it so the cap number this year was lowered somewhat

[Woodman]

so now we are ????????

[jamze132]

Josh restructuring frees up a lot.

[Woodman]

16.7 million.

[Forward_Lateral]

Neither site updated yet

[Forward_Lateral]

Spotrac has the Bills at 4 million under. I do not think this includes Daquan

OTC hasn't even updated the Josh restructure yet

thats a estimation... wont have offical till league approves restructures

[Forward_Lateral]

Thanks for this useless comment.

[Forward_Lateral]

OTC updated to 1.6 under.

Does not include Daquan

Does not appear to include Dawkins extension

Does include Josh's renegotiation

[Forward_Lateral]

Also worth noting:

The estimated cap numbers do not include Knox's paycut which is unknown at this point.

[Woodman]

So maybe we can get a good number later this week ..... then again maybe we sign somebody and the calculation is completely irrelevant at this time.

Tre's post June 1st creates approx 10 million in space, so as long as they are within that reasonably, they should be fine.

I would really like someone to explain why there's a june cutoff for cap savings. Why does it make a difference? Anyone have an explanation? I get pre and post draft, but other than that I don't see why it has to be June

[POTLAND PSILBYLO]

Also worth nothing:

totally useless

fixed as well

[Forward_Lateral]

Still don't have the number though :(

Is it some sort of control on manipulating cap numbers, so if too much manipulation is done, the money doesn't become available until after all the big name FA's will likely have signed? I don't know either- it's just the only reasonable explanation I could come up with.

It makes as much sense as anything I can think of.

It' actually pretty stupid when you think about it. You cut a guy (Tre) in March, but designate him to be cut in June. He's free to sign wherever he wants now, but the money doesn't become "available" to the Bills until June.

[Clumpy]

I can say with all certainty that the Bills are cap compliant

Post-June 1st allows the team to carry part of the dead money hit over into the following league year.

[Clumpy]

:ontome:

I've been around - I usually just lurk but had to comment

[Forward_Lateral]

Update:

OTC has the Bills currently with 10 million in cap space, which appears to include Tre's release, but they have it marked as a pre-June 1st cut.

Sportrac has them at 6.3 million in space, with Tre still on the roster


Daquan's cap hit for this year is 4.5 million

Dawkins is 11.5, which I'm almost certain is 4-5 million less than it was before he signed his extension

Knox's Cap hit is now 7.7, which I also believe is 4-5 million less than it was before he took a pay cut

We really needed the relief on the Knox contract so if your numbers are correct and they do sound right .... it's a very good day in Buffalo.

If they are at 6.3 with Trey still on the roster they're in good shape. With Johnsons new deal they will probably be 20 million under once Tre is released.

I'm hoping they update soon
