Contract details for Bills CB Cam Lewis

Contract details for #Bills CB Cam Lewis:

The Buffalo Bills have inked defensive back Cam Lewis to a two-year extension as he was re-signed upon becoming a free agent.

According to The Athletic, the contract is considered a team-friendly one for the defender that’s been a versatile player that is in-and-out of the lineup.

The two years is worth up to $4 million with incentives. The base salary on the deal is for a league-minimum contract.

Lewis  has a per-game roster bonus of $7,000, up to $119,000. There is also a $25,000 workout bonus in each season.

There was an initial  $425,000 signing bonus as part of $1.55 million in full guarantees in the contract as well.

Over the course of the two-year deal, Lewis will have cap hits of $1.48M and $1.618M, respectively.

However, the dead cap hits are different.

This upcoming year it’s at $1.55M, guaranteeing he’s on the roster next year. In 2025, the dead cap drops to $212,500, very much putting him in cap casualty territory in a year from now.

Bills’ Cam Lewis questionable to return vs. Giants

#Bills’ Cam Lewis questionable to return vs. #Giants:

The Buffalo Bills are down Cam Lewis against the New York Giants.

The team has announced that Lewis has a stinger. He is questionable to return to the contest.

Lewis went down in the first quarter. So far this season, Lewis has mainly contributed on special teams.

Buffalo is short for depth at his position, though. The Bills entered the contest down starting cornerback Dane Jackson (foot). Tre’Davious White (Achilles) also is out for the remainder of the 2023 season. Buffalo’s depth will be tested again against New York.

Bills Wire will provide updates when information is made available.

Damien Harris joins growing injury list at Bills practice

Thankfully most don’t sound too serious:

The Buffalo Bills were healthy through the early stages of 2023 training camp. But a familiar foe from last season is creeping into the picture.

Running back Damien Harris missed the team’s practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury. It was described as “soreness.” According to The Athletic, Harris was injured on Tuesday and left practice and put in some time on a bike on the sideline but he did not return to the field.

The description and Harris putting in the cycling thankfully makes it sound less serious. But Harris, who signed a one-year deal in Buffalo this offseason, does have a history with injury so the coaching staff might be giving him the day off in order to keep him healthy for the Bills’ first preseason game on Saturday.

Harris joins the likes of cornerback Cam Lewis and defensive tackle Ed Oliver who have also been recently dinged up in practice.

Starting with the latter, Oliver’s situation is similar to Harris as he missed practice on Tuesday and Wednesday due to back “soreness.”

Lewis is a bit more up in the air. After avoiding a head injury, Lewis has missed the same amount of time due to a groin injury.

It’s unclear when any of the trio will return to the lineup.

On the positive side, offensive lineman Dion Dawkins and quarterback Josh Allen returned to practice on Wednesday after briefly leaving Tuesday’s session.

Bills Wire will provide updates when information is made available.
