Every offseason, when the salary cap gymnastics begin for all teams that aren’t flush with cap space for that upcoming league year, three things come up in regards to players already on the roster: extensions, restructures, and cuts. For Buffalo Bills linebacker A.J. Klein, the topic has rarely been about a restructure or an extension.
With a pre-June 1 release, the Bills can save about $5.18 million against the 2022 cap while only accumulating $400,000 in dead cap through the release of Klein, leading it to be thought of as a foregone conclusion in content circles around the team.
