- ♦The Buffalo Bills made a series of cost-cutting moves on Wednesday in an effort to get under the salary cap next season, releasing safety Jordan Poyer, center Mitch Morse, corner♦back Tre’Davious White, defensive back Siran Neal, wide receiver Deonte Harty and running back Nyheim Hines.
- The moves are expected to eventually save the team somewhere in the vicinity of $36-37 million on the c♦ap sheet, per multiple reportsThe roster gutting won’t completely get the team under the salary cap, though restructuring the contract of superstar quarterback Josh Allen could get the team the rest of the way there:
Buffalo faced the reality that many contending teams have to endure once the star quarterback is onto his second contract—eventually, it becomes difficult to find money for other positions on the roster, especially if you are paying big money to retain other stars.
In that regard, the Bills will not be the only team forced to face some difficult decisions this offseason from a cap perspective.
