The Buffalo Bills allocated more salary-cap dollars to the defensive line than any other team in 2020. The team’s defensive linemen accounted for $51.3 million against the 2020 salary cap, nearly $3 million more than the next closest team, the Indianapolis Colts. At present, the Bills have the second-most salary-cap money committed to defensive linemen in 2021, with $55.3 million on the books.
Whether that amount increases or decreases is up for debate, and whether it stays the same or not, the names on the roster are also in flux. The Bills have plenty of team-friendly deals in the sense that they can release veterans and owe very little in dead-cap charges against the 2021 salary cap.
