The Buffalo Bills and center Mitch Morse have agreed to a salary restructure that saves the club approximately $2 million on the 2020 salary cap. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was first with the report.
Morse, 29, had been scheduled to count $10,343,750 against the salary cap this year. If Rapoport’s numbers are correct, then Morse’s cap hit should come in closer to $8.3 million instead. While that doesn’t seem like much, given the cap crunch that most teams find themselves in this year, every dollar counts.
We posed a scenario last week whereby the Bills could restructure Morse’s contract and save $3 million on this year’s cap while increasing his 2022 dead cap charge to $6 million.
