The Buffalo Bills have initiated a significant roster overhaul, releasing several key players to manage their salary cap situation. Among the notable releases are two-time Pro-Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White after seven seasons, All-Pro specialist Deonte Harty, center Mitch Morse, a 2022 Pro Bowl selection after five seasons, and defensive back Siran Neal. These moves, along with the release of safety Jordan Poyer and running back Nyheim Hines, are part of a strategy to alleviate the team's financial burden, as they were $40 million over the cap at the start of the day. The release of White alone, designated as a post-June 1 cut, will save the Bills $10.2 million in salary cap space, albeit with $6.2 million in dead money. Morse was due $8.5 million in salary this upcoming season. In total, the cuts are expected to create approximately $25.96 million in salary cap space, with the Bills netting $25.1M of cap space today. Additionally, the Bills signed OL David Edwards to a two-year contract and P Matt Haack to a one-year contract. This drastic action follows a period of high spending by the Bills, including over $300 million in player spending in 2023, and reflects the challenging decisions teams must make to balance competitiveness with financial sustainability.

Man. This is one historically downer of a tweet. And doesn't even include Tre White, who's a later cut down the road. https://t.co/ETaOIA7O3D
Important to note that the Bills will not see any cap savings from the Tre’Davious White release until June 1. They will carry his full cap charge until then. On June 1 they will clear just over $10M in cap space and take dead cap hits of $6.2M in 2024 and $4.1M in 2025.

When healthy, Tre'Davious White was a really good CB. But it's been a while. Wonder what kind of low risk deal he warrants. White's last 4 seasons: 2020 14 games 3 INTs 11 PBUs 2021 11 games 1 INT 6 PBUs 2022 6 games 1 INT 6 PBUs 2023 4 games 1 INT 2 PBUs https://t.co/wuYgfXxQup

The Bills went all in the last couple years and kicked the salary cap down the road to try and take advantage of a potential Chiefs rebuilding window after the Tyreek Hill trade (not a bad strategy!) But instead watched the Chiefs go back to back and lost in round 2 twice. Rough https://t.co/B25PEKE28E
CB Tre'Davious White will be designated a Post June 1st release on March 13th. The #Bills will carry his $16.4M cap hit until 6/1, then take on dead hits of: 2024: $6.2M ($10.2M saved) 2025: $4.1M White will be free to sign elsewhere next week.
