Cap Update 3/5/06

[Guest]

I decided to check NFLPA and yep.....salary escalators are in place.

First though......according to NFLPA, CB Kevin Thomas has re-signed a 1 yr, $656,000 deal

I have adjusted the EFAs from $400,000 to the reported $385,000 figure from the Buffalo News

Also, 4 players apparently had playing time salary escalators:

1) OT Mike Gandy: salary increased from $1.25 million to $1.8 million
2) G Bennie Anderson: salary increased from $1.4 million to $1.5 million
3) FB Dainon Shelton: salary increased from $950,000 to $1 million
4) QB Kelly Holcomb: salary increased from $875,000 to $1.125 million

I now have the Bills $8,604,819 under an "adjusted" salary cap of 94,289,911 million with $8,622,892 "dead cap"

8.8 isn't going to cut it. we need to make some more moves.

Sweet! 8.6 with Moulds under his huge contract.. So regardless what happens there we are in sweet shape. Plus we most likely won't go "nuts" in free agency and we'll have a sweet cap next season too.

Take away 2.5 for the Draft and more if the CBA doesn't kick in. When you look at 24 mill being open for the Vikings we really can't outbid for good players. We are stuck with the Bennie andersons of Free agency

Bennie Anderson

Agreed. 6.5 isn't that much. 10 mill ( the cutting of moulds possibly) would be great as for as cap to play with.

Re: Cap Update 3/4/06

All in all... Not that big of a hit... PHEW!!

If you recall last season in was millions on Clemments and fat Mike Williams.

Too bad fat Bennie Anderson claimed a little... He needs to vanish.

Re: Cap Update 3/4/06

Does this extra money for Big Bennie make him harder to cut, Clump?

Re: Cap Update 3/4/06

Why did Bennie Anderson get a pay raise? Did the price of cheeseburgers and ice cream increase dramatically in WNY?
