Bills restructure OL Connor McGovern’s contract

[Woodman]

The Bills began Monday with $36.726 million in cap space, and they now have added to that.
The team did a conversion on offensive lineman Connor McGovern’s contract, guaranteeing his deal for 2024 and clearing $3.74 million of cap space, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.
McGovern signed a three-year, $22.35 million contract with the Bills a year ago after he spent his first four seasons with the Cowboys, who made him a third-round pick.

When did they get $37m in cap space? I thought they were in the hole for $40m+?

The NFL announced that the 2024 cap is $255M. That’s more than the $242M figure most cap experts were using to predict teams’ cap space. So our actual over the cap number is less than predicted by about $13M.

Good news overall. Benefits all other teams too, but does reduce the size of the hole we need to get out of

The actual cap ended up being much higher than the projected cap. It helps us maintain.

The problem is that it means other teams that are already ahead of us now have more capacity to increase their talent gap over us.

We won’t get completely ****ed the way it looked a short time ago, but the teams that are already better than us get to improve whereas we just get to maintain.

FYI Over the Cap still has the Bills at 40 million over the cap, and the cap has been updated to 256 million
