Salary cap situation may have Bills eyeing edge rusher in NFL draft: Here are options
‘The biggest cap savings derived from a release would be edge rusher Von Miller. Cutting him pre-June 1 creates $8.3 million in 2025 space, though it comes with an ugly $15.4 million dead cap hit. Releasing him post-June 1 frees up $17.4 million, but that money would not be available until then. And while that would lessen the dead cap to $6.3 million in 2025, it would add $9 million of dead cap to the 2026 ledger which is not ideal.’

Bills Coach Sean McDermott Expresses Key Concern About Tush Push
‘”To me, there has always been an injury risk with that play, and I’ve expressed that opinion for the last couple of years or so,” McDermott told the media at the NFL combine. “… I just feel like the health and safety of our players has to be at the top of our game, which it is. The techniques that are used with that play have been potentially contrary to the health and safety of the players. You have to go back though in fairness to the injury data on the play.

Sam Martin rebounded with consistent punting season for Bills in 2024
‘“I just had a middle of the season kind of a dip, a four- or five-game stretch that was uncharacteristic of me. I appreciate our coaches here having patience with me and realizing what I’m capable of. I’m proud of the season I had. It’s never easy punting here, especially this year was some of the worst weather I’ve ever played in – wind-wise, especially.
