As with all trades a player’s contract is of most importance. Entering the final season of his rookie deal, Leonard Fournette comes at a cost of $4.16 million. According to Spotrac, the Buffalo Bills have roughly $20 million in remaining cap space. Therefore, contract wise the Bills can easily afford the $4.16 million hit while saving for future signings, draft picks, and in-season roster adjustments. Remember, the Bills only need to allocate about $4 million this year for draft picks as they no longer hold a first round pick.
Next with trades comes the compensation.
