So, with this business move, what effect does it have on our cap?
It makes zero difference to our cap as he was an UFA this year, so he didn't count anything towards the cap and we didn't owe him anything. Odds were, he was going to command a lot more money than a guy like Walsh (who has no guaranteed money in his signing) or a potential UDFA. How much we save depends pretty much on what the market was for him. Once you see whatever Buffalo paid him, then we see how much we are paying our kicker (once it's decided who that will be), then we will know about how much we saved going this route.
