The 2011 labor deal allows teams to carry over unused salary-cap space. Or to not carry it over.

the Bills "can" carry over $9.8 million if they so choose ....which would be in addition to the unadjusted cap number, which is expected to be in the vicinity of $121 million per team.

This is the first year each tam has to spend to 90% of the cap is it not? If so, wonder if carry over money gets included in that number?

With that floor, Levitre might indeed become a very rich man

From what I've read, we can be in very good cap shape this year if we carry this $ over--it looked like only 6-7 other teams had more $ than we did, and for the first time in a while, there were a number of teams, like the Jets and Saints, who were in very bad cap shape....

Time to find out if Brandon's comments about "sparing no expense" to turn the Bills around was just lip service...

But, is this "carried over" unused money going to continued to be carried over or is it just for the 2013 season? If not, if we used this money, we'd be in trouble in 2014.

Plus, how did the Eagles ever get do much extra cap space. Didn't they spend anything to assemble their "dream team"? That's some good cap management apparently.

So, does this mean we have $20.6M with or with out the carryover?

Am I reading that correctly?!? The Browns have $48 Million in cap space?!?

And the Bangles have $63 M. It also shows that it was very rare for a team to spend right up to the cap, so I don't expect to see an all out spending frenzy come March.

The Eagles have almost always been great with their cap.

I believe it was the Eagles and Vikings that were the first to know how to really work the system of the cap.

Easy - use the extra cap this year with salary and roster bonus and reduce signing bonuses or year two salaries some.... more money hits this year and we get some bargains down the line

lol....I was just in the process of posting the exact same thing.

How would this fit into the "cash-to-cap" accounting scheme?  Or is the team done with that?

I guess the queston is whether the Bills will do a similar carry over system with their C2C left over money.

I have not heard the "C2C" used for some time. I think they probably went over C2C last year when they signed Williams and Anderson. That said, I haven't heard them say they were abandoning C2C either. So, it probably in Ralph's back pocket because Ralph Is Cheap.

that would be the definition of C2C. The signing bonus that eats up future years but is paid immediately would be the non-conforming approach

i think its gone, but not forgotten. they have been using big signing bonuses... you have to if you want to have any premiere players... but they also generally seem to structure the less premiere contract to follow the C2C concept.

My dream wish list:
1. Re-sign Levitre and Byrd
2. FA  Dwayne Bowe and Chris Canty
3. Jarvis Jones in the 1st round and  EJ or Barkley or Tyler WIlson in the 2nd Round and a ton of LBs in 3,4,5 will do a  world of good for this team.

EJ to CJ or SJ....Awesome.

Question. If the Bills do carry over the 9.8M, that would mean a $130M plus. Do they have to spend to 90% of $130M or 90% of the $121M?

I dont think its gone or forgotten, just not spoken much in the media. Alot of teams use it and its a smart idea.

I would assume that the NFL would make it that they have to spend 90% of the salary cap, which is the $121 million because it would make it an equal amount for all teams in the league. But if teams are going to use the carry over amount, they would already be spending more then 90% of the $121 million anyways
