Bills Cut Adams, Milloy and Campbell

[Ragin]

WGRZ 03/01/2006 -
Bills General Manager Marv Levy revealed Wednesday the Bills have released veteran defensive tackle Sam Adams, strong safety Lawyer Milloy and tight end Mark Campbell.

It's estimated the moves will save the Bills a total of $6 million in salary cap room.

Although Levy revealed the cuts to the veteran trio, he did say of the Eric Moulds situation "there is no status change", which could mean there's still a possibility the Bills might retain the 10-year veteran wide receiver.

Levy did say the moves Wednesday were not specifically aimed at retaining Moulds.

Moulds is scheduled to count $10.8 million against the cap in 2006, and the Bills would save about $5.5 million by releasing him before Friday's free agency deadline.

Moulds has informed the Bills he will not take a pay cut, although there is speculation he might agree to a negotiation if the Bills change their latest offer.

According to salary cap figures published on the Bills Zone.com web page, Adams was scheduled to make $3.5 million in the final year of his contract in 2006, and the Bills would save the entire $3.5 million by releasing him now.

Milloy, with salary and amoritzed bonuses, was scheduled to count $4 million against the cap in 2006, and by cutting him, the Bills will save roughly $1.25 million.

Campbell was scheduled to count $1.537 million against the cap, and the Bills would save $1.3 million with his release.

That pretty much says it all. Good work smilies, good work.

these decisions were based primarily on the player's salary versus the cap divided by their "rep power".

lol, actually Adams and Milloy were part of the so-called 'Best defense there is, was, or ever will be'. Too bad they didn't play as good as they said they were. I think the salary cap issues or the main issue; lack of the salary cap going up because of the labor strife had a lot to do with these cuts too. All around the league, big name players are being cut. If no agreement is reached soon, doesn't the salary cap go bye-bye after the 06 season? Say good-bye to the small market teams. I think that is why Ralph had some-kind-of buyout clause after the 07 season. I can't remember the specifics.
