The Bills added very little to their cap total by signing Blanton to a veteran minimum deal
The Buffalo Bills signed safety Robert Blanton to a one-year, $840,000 contract on Friday, a deal which included an $80,000 signing bonus, reports Tom Pelissero of USA Today.

However, the deal will not count for the full $840,000 against the 2016 salary cap for the Bills, thanks to Blanton's contract qualifying for the NFL's veteran minimum benefit.
