The Buffalo Bills are facing a challenging salary-cap situation as they head into the 2024 NFL offseason. With over $50 million in debt, they are unable to re-sign key players or sign new rookies. This means that the team is likely to experience a talent drain in the upcoming season, and some players may be dismissed from the team.
Among those under consideration for dismissal are Stefon Diggs, Tre’Davious White, and Von Miller. While Diggs’ future is uncertain, Miller is expected to return for the 2024 season. Although the front office may pursue a restructured contract, Miller is likely to remain with the Bills. In the 2023 season, Miller had 3 QB hits, 0 sacks, and 0 tackles for loss in 258 snaps.
Details of Von Miller’s Contract:
Year 2024 Cap Hit: $23.784 million
Pre-June 1 Release: -$8.717 million cap savings
Post-June 1 Release: $6.7 million cap savings
Year 2025 Cap Hit: $23.784 million
Pre-June 1 Release: $8.457 million cap savings
Post-June 1 Release: $17.5 million cap savings
Year 2026 Cap Hit: $26.374 million
Pre-June 1 Release: $17.331 million cap savings
Post-June 1 Release: $20 million cap savings
Buffalo Bills edge rusher, Von Miller’s contract details have been revealed. It seems that he will have to prove himself in the upcoming season as he was left out of the pass-rushing rotation towards the end of the regular season, and even became a healthy scratch. If he fails to bounce back in 2024, the Bills will most likely release him as a post-June 1 release a year from now, to create significant cap savings. On the other hand, it is believed that wide receiver Stefon Diggs will continue playing for the Bills in 2024, despite the need for a contract restructure. The lack of proven options in Buffalo’s receiving corps makes it highly probable that Diggs will return next season.
