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

Rumor: Matt Cassel Is Going To Get Cut Next, Percy Harvin Too
We just signed Taylor to a 2 or 3 year contract. He isn't getting signed to a new contract any time soon. He has to do this thing called "earn it" in real regular season play for a season and a half before he gets paid.
If he plays 8 games this season, his contract gets voided. I'm surprised how many people don't know this by now.

Not for next year (2016) it does not....
The most interesting piece of the contract, also tied to Taylor's playing time, is a voidable clause. If Taylor plays in over 50 percent of the Bills' plays in either 2015 or 2016, and remains on the roster five days following the 2016 Super Bowl, the third year of the contract voids. This clause would allow, if he received significant playing time in either 2015 or 2016, Taylor to become a free agent for 2017.

Well maybe no one knows that because its not true. Theres a clause in his contract that voids the 3rd year if he's the starter. Don't think that means we need to pay him right away.

If Taylor has a great year and takes the Bills to the playoffs, he's going to demand a huge new contract and that is a fact of life in America, not Montreal.
Not sure about Harvin. Did he play at all this preseason? Is he still injured?
I sure don't know, I keep forgetting we have him. He's a Ryanbaby though. We'll boot him after he cost too much and didn't do anything but cause locker room problems and waste money.
Imho, and I'm jaded, he'll have 2 dazzling touchdowns, get arrested once with charges dismissed at settlement, piss off 2 teammates loudly in the media and do a whole lot of nothing else before getting hurt in week 8 after having two dazzling touchdowns and making people worry we have him because he suddenly appeared from nowhere and heads back there after with chronic depression or something.

Cutting Harivin saves the Bills $4 million this year. Dead cap money gets spread out over multiple years against the cap.
You really need to learn how this works. Look at your own spotrac link. His dead money figure is 6 million while his live cap figure is 4 million. If we cut him, he counts 4 million against this year's cap and 2 million against next year's = 6 million dead cap.
We gave Percy Harvin $5.9 million guaranteed and a $100K workout bonus which he's already earned. What do you think happens to that money when he gets cut?
