In addition, the Bills could create some cap space by releasing some players in the offseason. Here are four Buffalo players who could be cap casualties this year.

2020: Dead money: $1,750,000

Defensive end Trent Murphy flashed a few moments that made him a target in free agency two seasons ago, playing in all 16 games and registering five sacks. He was part of a rotation at the left defensive end spot with Shaq Lawson. The Bills’ decision on whether or not to re-sign Lawson may impact if they decide to keep Murphy around.

But overall him Murphy’s tenure with the Bills, he’s failed to produce. Heck, even last year’s numbers are skewed a bit as he had  two of his five sacks in a meaningless Week 17 outing against the Dolphins. But to his credit, he also had two in the Bills’ playoff loss.
