Josh Allen’s cap number skyrockets in 2024

[Woodman]

The Bills had to engage in major cap surgery this week, trimming $37 million of 2024 dollars in one day. There are plenty of reasons for it.

Here’s a big one. The cap bill for quarterback Josh Allen’s contract is starting to come due.

His six-year, $258 million extension was structured to keep the cap charges low in 2021 through 2023: $10.2 million, $16.3 million, $18.6 million.

This year, it skyrockets to $47 million. Next year, the cap number moves to $56.5 million.

The Bills can always restructure the deal, kicking the cap can even deeper into the future. At some point, however, they’ll also need to re-do the contract.

It will be half of that soon.

Restructuring Josh will put them well under the cap. With other restructures they could get to 30 million under if they really wanted to. I don't want to see that though. Don't move to much more $$ into the future. Eat it this year. We can still compete for the division then retool in 25.

Be aggressive .... not stupid.
