Do you realize that at least at this moment, Eric Moulds and Nate Clements account for exactly $18 million of Buffalo's $102 cap figure. Nate Clements with the raise on Franchise prices went up to $7.2 and Moulds is at $10.8
That's over 17% of the cap for two players; a 32-year old 10-year veteran who's best days are behind him, and one of the NFL's biggest underachievers of 2005.
It doesn't take the intelligence of Marv Levy to realize that's a problem that needs to get fixed immediately. With a team that needs a MINIMUM of five new starters: OT, LG, Two DT's and a SS.... That is absurd and ridiculous.
Levy, Modrak, whomever.. Someone better sit down with Nate and see if they can get him a long-term deal to soften that cap hit... Or they need to trade him.
As for Moulds, I don't even need to get into it.. Make him take a cut, make him agree to resctructure for cap relief or cut him!
I been and still am very respectful of marv and Im continuing to give him the benefit of the doubt.. But c'mon man.. You gotta do something about this.
Buffalo has a fair amount of cap space in comparison to other teams.. But this is a 5-11 team with SO many holes to file.. Make some cuts and/or redone deals, get that cap number higher and go out there and make some things happen...
I'm becoming at least a tad concerned that it seems Buffalo is the only team in decent cap shape in the league where i havent heard a single player of significance even being discussed as a future Bill.
