BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Bills converted more than $11.7 million of wide receiver Stefon Diggs' base salary into a signing bonus, a source tells ESPN's Field Yates, saving the team roughly $8 million of salary cap space.
Diggs was slated to make roughly $12.7 million in base salary in 2021; that figure is now down to $990,000. Buffalo, meanwhile, now has $11,084,995 in cap space per Spotrac.
The timing of Diggs' restructured deal comes as teams can take on less dead cap money after a June 1 trade or release - and will generate some curiosity as multiple players, including Philadelphia's Zach Ertz and Atlanta's Julio Jones, are expected to be moved from their current teams.
