Clayton's the only one who came up with that kind of info...other media sources are more in line what Clump and Eb have

[Jan Reimers]

Don't the Gandy and Holcomb deals tend to disprove Clayton's numbers?

Welll according to the email response I received form Clayton this afternoon

[quote]I'm going off management council numbers. There were at $650,000 on Thursday. They cleared $1.6 million of room Friday morning, so they are at $2.265 million. That's no misprint. They don't have much room.[/quoote]

some how the Bills cleared room as of this morning. That would be enough to sign both Gandy and Holcombe

I don't know what to say, none of us really knows for sure, and Eb, & Clump are putting together pieces of the salary cap puzzle with tidbits of info as they come available.

I want to believe the higher # too

[Bert102176]

even channel 2, 4, and 7 news said the Bills had about 6 mil to spend though, this was about 3 weeks ago

What the hell did we miss?? That he knows about?

[Mudflap1]

If that's the case, Tom Donahoe should be immediately fired...

And if that's the case, how are we bringing in Ty Law????? He's going to play for the league minimum to play in Buffalo?

The 2 signings don't disprove the 652K notion. They only agreed to terms of the contract, the cap space doesn't have to be cleared until the actual signing of the contract and submission of the contract to the league, If the $652k is correct, expect to hear about a cap casualty or restructuring in the next couple of days.

Why?

Everyone acts like we cut 8 players yesterday.

I would be somewhat puzzled by Donahoe's master plan if we only had $650,000 to begin with. Didn't he say in an after season press conference that we were in pretty good cap shape? I'm sure before he made those coments that he was aware of escalators and perfomance bonuses?

[Ebenezer]

Until we can find out what the cap adjustment for this year was we are just pissing into the wind...I had the Bills $5mil under...$4.5mil more than Clayton...hard to phathom that their adjustment was that huge but who konws...lots of TDs by Evans, McGee, and McGahee...it is possible they had some bonuses hooked to that. It's possible that there were playing time bonues hooked to LE and WM as well. I think Clump has said that MANY players have bonuses in their deal. If that is true we could be talking little bonuses here and there for, what?, say 40 players...that could add up quickly.

Why should Tom Donahoe be fired if the salary cap is $652K?

That's why. We didn't hire him and keep him around for four years with no playoff appearances to be in worse cap shape than the Raiders, Redskins, Panthers, etc.

Here's the numbers I found for Holcomb

Holcomb, 31, will sign a four-year, $6.6 million contract that includes a $2 million signing bonus.
