The Buffalo Bills are in the midst of one of the most important off-seasons in recent memory.
Big players are due for contacts, the team is up against it in terms of the salary cap, and it feels as though their Super Bowl window is closing.
Bills Mafia has concerns with the roster, as well. Safety, linebacker, wide receiver, and offensive line are the consensus areas where fans want to see improvement.
Biggest focus this offseason?
The biggest concern in the off-season is the amount of available money the team has in terms of the salary cap.
Brandon Beane, who is often called a wizard within the Bills Mafia, has his work cut out for him entering this upcoming season.
Surprisingly, salary cap experts on social media have detailed an important update that swings things in the Bills' favor in a huge way.
Restructuring isn’t always the answer as the bill will always come due, but there are plenty of ways Buffalo can get out of their current cap situation.
Greg Tompsett from Cover One brilliantly manipulated the cap to outline a potential solution to set the team up for long-term success.
The Bills have their work cut out for them
The crux of his navigation to the salary cap surrounds contract restructuring as well as adjusting a roster bonus.
Four of the six potential restructures or bonus restructure revolve around players who weren’t recently restructured, allowing the Bills more wiggle room in their salary cap situation.
Maybe Brandon Beane should give a quick call to Greg to work on a way of freeing up the potential $44-56 million for the team to work with.
Hopes are still high, and with some financial navigating, they could be through the roof.
Buffalo has to make some tough decisions. Those decisions are made a lot easier if they were to somehow land an extra 40+ million in cap space.
