Neither site updated yet
Spotrac has the Bills at 4 million under. I do not think this includes Daquan
OTC hasn't even updated the Josh restructure yet
OTC updated to 1.6 under.
Does not include Daquan
Does not appear to include Dawkins extension
Does include Josh's renegotiation

Also worth noting:
The estimated cap numbers do not include Knox's paycut which is unknown at this point.
So maybe we can get a good number later this week ..... then again maybe we sign somebody and the calculation is completely irrelevant at this time.
Tre's post June 1st creates approx 10 million in space, so as long as they are within that reasonably, they should be fine.
I would really like someone to explain why there's a june cutoff for cap savings. Why does it make a difference? Anyone have an explanation? I get pre and post draft, but other than that I don't see why it has to be June
Is it some sort of control on manipulating cap numbers, so if too much manipulation is done, the money doesn't become available until after all the big name FA's will likely have signed? I don't know either- it's just the only reasonable explanation I could come up with.
It makes as much sense as anything I can think of.
It' actually pretty stupid when you think about it. You cut a guy (Tre) in March, but designate him to be cut in June. He's free to sign wherever he wants now, but the money doesn't become "available" to the Bills until June.

I can say with all certainty that the Bills are cap compliant

I've been around - I usually just lurk but had to comment
Update:
OTC has the Bills currently with 10 million in cap space, which appears to include Tre's release, but they have it marked as a pre-June 1st cut.
Sportrac has them at 6.3 million in space, with Tre still on the roster
Daquan's cap hit for this year is 4.5 million
Dawkins is 11.5, which I'm almost certain is 4-5 million less than it was before he signed his extension
Knox's Cap hit is now 7.7, which I also believe is 4-5 million less than it was before he took a pay cut
