Salary Cap Relief

[Woodman]

The Buffalo Bills (https://www.buffalorumblings.com/) released a series of beloved veterans and restructured the contracts of a couple mid-career veterans on their way to getting cap compliant. The goodbyes are going to be bitter this year, and the list is almost everyone we talked about in February (https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/2/21/24077464/2024-buffalo-bills-salary-cap-casualty-cut-options).

Rasul Douglas restructured (https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/3/6/24092856/buffalo-bills-restructure-rasul-douglas-contract-to-open-up-2024-cap-space) ($2.5 million cap relief)
Von Miller pay cut (https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/3/6/24092815/buffalo-bills-edge-rusher-von-miller-agree-to-pay-cut-via-renegotiated-contract-per-report-nfl-news) ($8.6 million cap relief)

With the restructure, Douglas is guaranteed to be around for the current season. The same can likely be said for Miller.
White was designated as a post-June 1 cut, which means his cap hit will stay the same until June 1st but he can start looking for other teams and sign right now. Buffalo can’t spend his cap dollars until after June 1st.

We need Douglas now that's for sure
