Bills Scramble to Fix Salary Cap, Release Vets

0:00For the NFL, it's March 7th, and here's what's going on. The Buffalo Bills are scrambling to fix their salary cap issues after trading for wide receiver DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears. They're now about $34 million over the NFL's $301.2 million limit for the 2026 season. General Manager Brandon Bean has until Monday to get compliant. On Friday, Bean released four better employers to create some breathing room. That includes longtime slot cornerback Taren Johnson, wide receiver Curtis Samuel, safety tailor rap, and cornerback Dane Jackson. Those moves freed up $12.1 million in cap space. Fans are feeling the shake-up, especially with Johnson, who helped define the Bills' Nickel Defense package over eight seasons. Samuel had two tough years in Buffalo, while wrapped up with injuries and Jackson wrapped up his second stint. These cuts signal big changes ahead of free agency. And after the releases, the Bills still sit roughly $22 million over the cap.

Expect more roster moves soon to hit that deadline. A quick thank you to our sponsor of today's episode. Headphones in a pillow. Once you try it, it just makes sense, S-O-L-L-I, solelypillo.com.
