Over the weekend, one of the significant NFL dates came and went without much fanfare. After June 1, every roster cut that’s made pushes a good chunk of the player’s dead-cap hit into the following season instead of the current one.
A mechanism built into the CBA is the post-June 1 designation, which allows teams to cut a player in March and get the same cap benefit in June. All of those moves tolled on Sunday.
In 2024, the Buffalo Bills were one of the 12 teams that opened up cap space with the post-June 1 designation.
