OL Spencer Long
2020 Cap Hit: $4,075,000
2020: Dead money: $700,000
Spencer Long’s contract is a bit of a different situation for the team, as the Bills hold a club option for the offensive lineman. The veteran provided some depth and flexibility on the interior of the offensive line. The six-year veteran played in 16-percent of the team’s snaps last season.
The Bills will make a decision on whether Long’s cap hit of just north of $4 million is worthwhile for a depth offensive lineman.
Grading as a guard in Pro Football Focus’ metrics, Long recorded a 57.0 overall grade last season. That did not qualify for their overall rankings, but does fall in their “average” category. The Bills could stand to get worse numbers out of a backup who is also versatile enough to fill-in at center, but Buffalo could opt to use one of their nine draft picks to fill Long’s shoes.
