The Buffalo Bills have initiated a significant roster overhaul to address their salary cap issues, releasing several key players. Among those let go are former All-ACC RB Nyheim Hines, safety Jordan Poyer, cornerback Siran Neal, center Mitch Morse, and wide receiver and return specialist Deonte Harty. Additionally, the team informed two-time Pro-Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White of his release as a post-June 1 cut, which will save the Bills $10.2 million in salary cap space, albeit with $6.2 million in dead money. To further manage their cap situation, the Bills are restructuring cornerback Rasul Douglas' contract for an approximate $2.5 million cap saving and have released All-pro specialist Deonte Harty. In a move to solidify their offensive line, the Bills have re-signed guard David Edwards to a two-year deal worth $6 million, with $2.95 million guaranteed and potential for more through incentives. These moves come as part of the Bills' efforts to become cap compliant, having started the day $40 million over the salary cap. The total cap space created by these releases is approximately $36.16 million. Connor McGovern is expected to be the starting center in 2024, with David Edwards potentially starting at left guard. The net cap space created by these moves is approximately $25.1M.
CB Tre'Davious White not included in Bills players officially released today because his cut it is expected to be with a post-June 1 designation. That can't be done until after start of league year next Wednesday. He played only four games last season before going on IR Oct. 7.
