Bills general manager Brandon Beane has handled his dead cap space well during his tenure with the team. Early on in his duties, Beane, along with head coach Sean McDermott, started to trim the team’s roster in an attempt to makeover the locker room.
In doing so, the Bills moved on from high-profile players such as former first-round picks Marcell Dareus and Sammy Watkins. Back in 2017 when that happened, the Bills built up a huge amount of dead cap on their salary cap.
A year later when the dead cap was off the books, things changed for the Bills and now here we are.
Considering how big of a role dead cap space played in the early formation of the current Bills team, how does Buffalo fare in terms of dead cap finances right now?
According to Over The Cap, the Bills are doing very well in terms of dead cap totals presently. Listed with only $3.7 million in dead cap hits on their salary cap, Buffalo slots in with the fifth-least amount of dead cap space in the NFL.
Of the Bills’ dead cap hits, here are the top-live via Over The Cap:
- WR John Brown ($1.6M)
- OL Quinton Spain ($1.0M)
- K Steven Hauschka ($625K)
- LB Vosean Joseph ($161.3K)
- OL Spencer Long ($100K)
