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!
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

Most of the articles show Bledsoe's first year cap number at about $4.3M. Assuming that the remainder of his cap number is made up of amortized signing bonus, that would put Bledsoe's signing bonus at $6M for the 3 seasons.
i havent seen his sb listed anywhere.. i would like to see that.. because if it is 6 million.. then we jsut dug ourselves a bigger hole and it will cost us 4 million to cut him next season.

Originally posted by Earthquake Enyart So he gets $6 mil now instead of $7 in November?
And, given this structure, he'll probably get all 3 years.
Intesting set up...Drew was set to make $5.9 mil in base salary this year...he would have then added $2 mil for the buy out or $7 mil if the Bills had opted for the bonus. Thus, he would have been paid $7.9 mil at the minumum and $12.9 mil at maximum. Either way his cap number would have been about $8 mil for 2004.
It appears that Drew will end up getting $8.25 mil this year (very similar to what he would have earned had they opted not to pick up the option).
However, the devil is in the details...the deal saves the Bills approx. $2.7 mil in 2005 (over what they would have had to pay DB had they exercised the bonus) and $2.0 mil in 2006. Not a bad deal if they wanted to keep DB long term. The only other way to save more money would have been to cut him out right before the beginning of the season. At which point, you have to answer the question of "who do you want at QB" (give me a realistic name or don't reply).

Should the Bills decide to cut him after 2/1/05 they would save $1.5 mil on the salary cap (if his SB is truly amoritized at $2 mil a year). Again, the only other way to save more money would have been to cut him out right before the beginning of the season. The only way to ***** about this deal is to admit that you do not want DB as the Bills QB no matter the deal...if that is true please provide a legitimate alternative or don't reply.

Bledsoe's signing bonus was $6.5 million. He also has roster bonuses of $1.05 million in each of 2005 and 2006, $750,000 in LTBE incentives for 2006 and an escalator clause that could increase his base salary in 2006.

Hmmm, where did you find those? I don't remember seeing it anywhere. I'm surprised that TD gave him a $6.5 million signing bonus. It seems a little high. Also, I heard that he does have a bunch of other bonuses and options in his contract.

Mikey...the man knows what he speaks of...along with the numbers on NFLPA I would say those are EXTREMELY reliable...
Adam, welcome to the Zone!! Glad to have you aboard.

He gets a 6.5 mill bonus? And people have been calling him a saint.
From where did you get the contract details? If true, then it's basically a 2-year contract for $11M, with $6.05M in cap savings in 2006, although with a $2.167M dead cap charge.
