Prior to releasing linebacker A.J. Klein, the Bills sat at $6.6 million over the NFL’s salary cap. They have a week to get under that cap and they started that process by releasing Klein, so they now are roughly $2 million over the cap.
A few weeks ago, we went through pay cuts that could save the Bills some cap space and we listed them as contract restructures, because each player could earn back the money they lost in base salary. Really, they were just pay cuts and the players would have to be convinced they wouldn’t make that lost money on the free agent market.
