CarltonTheBear said:Bender said:Hes getting paid on potential. He has to live up to the contract now, even though he clearly regressed last year. Improvement isnt always a guarantee. Plus Buffalo is $3m over the cap.
A contract extension wouldn't effect his cap hit this season, which is still $1.3mil.
Ok, so then let's look at next year: Roughly $48m committed to something like 16 players next season. 2014: $40m committed to 8 players. I still think Regier with money is like a mule with a spinning wheel.
