I'm not angry at Marv Levy because he hasn't made a free agent move only 12-13 hours into Free Agency.
Im mad at Marv.. because since cutting Adams and Milloy, he's done NOTHING to improve the status of this club.
Look at what Carolina and Oakland did today. Suddenly, they're free agent players.
CAROLINA PANTHERS
<A href="http://www.kffl.com/link/128">Pat Yasinskas, of the Charlotte Observer (http://www.kffl.com/link/129), reports Carolina Panthers (http://www.kffl.com/team/10/nfl) CB Ken Lucas (http://www.kffl.com/player/1674/nfl)' 2006 salary cap number dropped from $8.78 million to $3.98 million when he restructured his contract.

His 2006 salary cap number dropped from $7.3 million to $4.7 million.
These four moves saved Carolina nearly $12.5 million in cap space for 2006. Suddenly they are MAJOR players in free agency.
=================================================================
NOW.. Take a look at the Raiders
Jerry McDonald, of the Oakland Tribune, reports the Oakland Raiders (http://www.kffl.com/team/28/nfl) saved $2,340,000 against their 2006 salary cap by restructuring the contracts of FB Zack Crockett (http://www.kffl.com/player/1393/nfl) and OG Brad Badger (http://www.kffl.com/player/5801/nfl).
Jerry McDonald, of the Oakland Tribune, reports the Oakland Raiders (http://www.kffl.com/team/28/nfl) shifted some incentive payouts in WR Ronald Curry (http://www.kffl.com/player/6899/nfl)'s contract from 2006 to 2007 to save some money on their 2006 salary cap. Although he retained his original salary, his cap number dropped from $5,040,000 to $1,640,000.
Jerry McDonald, of the Oakland Tribune, reports the Oakland Raiders (http://www.kffl.com/team/28/nfl) shifted some incentive payouts in DE Bobby Hamilton (http://www.kffl.com/player/1150/nfl)'s contract from 2006 to 2007 to save some money on their 2006 salary cap. Although he retained his original salary, his cap number dropped from $5,320,000 to $1,750,000.
These four moves gave Oakland more than $10.5 million towards the 2006 cap.
==================================================================
Why is Marv Levy doing NOTHING to give Buffalo more cap flexibility. Having $14 million in cap space is good, but it's not any good if 20 teams above you have more.
I'm fairly certain he remembers its 2005, not 1990 anymore. The Bills have a tremendous amount of holes they need to fill. The bottom line is the current roster is simply not talented enough to compete for a playoff spot. The Bills don't need contributors.. They need IMPACT players.
Why is Eric Moulds still a Bill if he refused a paycut and they can't restructure? Why is Bennie Anderson still a Bill period? Why isn't Marv getting guys like Takeo SPikes and/or London Fletcher to restucture and free up some cap room? Why is Mike Gandy still on this roster at over $2.5 million when most feel he'll be a backup? Chris Villarrial is another player who's cap number is high and production is down.
Cutting Moulds and restructuring would give the Bills at least another $10 million to attack the offensive and defensive lines aggressively.
Get off your rocker, Marv. And start doing something. You can't possibly believe this team is 1-2 players away from competiting.
