As of 12/10/04, I have the Bills $7,679,552 under an estimated salary cap of $84 million with 44 players under contract. Bills have only $837,109 dead cap (or dead money) in 2005 thus far. The numbers include an assumption that the Bills will pay the option bonuses due to both Losman and Evans. I think it's a safe one to make. It also includes the recent signing of Rod Trafford due to the injuries to Campbell and Euhus, but this chart was submitted before his signing. It will be added shortly. What it doesn't include is any bonus information associated with DT Ron Edwards. He was given the minimum tender as a RFA in 2004 offseason, but apparently signed a 2 yr deal. NFLPA website has him making $1 million salary in 2005. In order to sign a 2 yr deal, no doubt he received some sort of signing and/or roster bonus. Unfortunately, I've been unable to acquire this information from any source.
Thanks for your continued interest!
DISCLAIMER: Much time and energy has been put into producing this cap page. Yes, its accuracy is contingent upon the many public resources available, thus, the information is NOT 100% correct and there is no attempt to portray it as such. The discrepancies are directly proportional to the accuracy of the bonuses, the amount and how they are applied to the cap.
References and links will be added to help explain the basics of the cap and to give credence to the numbers presented for each and every player. Some links cover a number of players because they are members of the same draft class.
The salary cap page remains a work in progress. The content and style will be evaluated so as to produce the best page possible. Please send any questions, comments, or suggestions to Dozer, LOG, Ebenezer, or myself via PM on the message boards P> Your resident capologists,
