Bills are $18 million over the cap, but these money-saving moves could fix it

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- During general manager Brandon Beane’s six-year tenure, the Buffalo Bills have cleared plenty of hurdles while building the team into a title contender.

This offseason, the big challenge is addressing the Bills' needs with a franchise quarterback on the beginning portion of a big extension.

The team is currently $18.13 million over the salary cap (set at $224.8 million in 2023), per Roster Management, and has a month to become cap compliant before the new league year starts on March 15.

“We’re going to have to get under the cap by moves -- could be roster cuts," Beane said in January, noting that the Bills' 20 unsigned free agents also aren't on the books yet.
