‘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

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.
