Cap Question

[Romes]

Hypothetically speaking lets say we pick up a center (Bober) and a gaurd (Meadows) in free agency. I know Teague is being paid quite a bit of money. Probably too much to be a back up. Would we save anything if we cut him? Or should we just keep him as a bench player?

Savings on cutting Teague:

Before 6/1:
$458K in 2004
$2.291 mil in 2005

After 6/1:
$1.5 mil in 2004
$1.25 mil in 2005

Thanks Eb, that is exactly what I wanted to know. :up:

With that said I think if we find someone to replace him he should be cut. IMO, before 6/1 so we save $2.291 Mill next off-season.

The Bills are in a great position because they are under the cap. They can hold on to Teague as long as they need to and then ditch him if they find somebody else whether that be before or after 6/1...money will be saved in both seasons regardless. If not, he is serviceable for 2004.
