Bills GM Doug Whaley said this was the week when the club would begin addressing their tight salary cap situation. Step one was creating more cap room by carrying over their $4.4M in unused 2015 cap space to 2016. Step two was the restructuring of tight end Charles Clay contract.
Whaley confirmed the restructuring on the John Murphy Show Thursday at the NFL Combine.
“We just finished a renegotiation on Charles Clay,” said Whaley. “And there are other guys we may want to extend.”
Per team policy details of the restructuring of Clay’s contract were not disclosed, but the tight end’s new deal has provided the Bills with more dollars to put toward new contracts for OT Cordy Glenn and G Richie Incognito.
