Good News: Buffalo Bills Head Coach Signed $255 Million For…
The general manager of the team that is now the highest above the cap was happy to hear the NFL declare last week that the 2024 salary ceiling will be $255.4 million.
It’s a tremendous relief that the cap reached $255 million, said Bills General Manager Brandon Beane on PFT Live. Beane was ready to make roster adjustments to bring the club under $245 million, but his team is presently approximately $40 million above the 2024 ceiling with a few weeks to get under.
Beane stated, “Getting under and getting our cap squared away is our first challenge.” “I was happy to see it at 255 instead of 245.” In reality, we were being prudent and counting a bit lower than what we had anticipated—the mid-240s. I thought this is nice, maybe it would be 248 when I heard it was going to be closer to 250 to 240. appears at 255 and rescues you. Perhaps you won’t have to let go of or rearrange one man as much.
According to Beane, the Bills aim to retain as many talented players as possible while Josh Allen, their quarterback, is still at the top of his game. However, he said that he didn’t want to put the Bills in a situation where they would have to spend so much money trying to win now in order to avoid having to deal with a salary cap in the future.
Beane stated, “You don’t want to just credit card everyone and just pile it up.” “You’re attempting to balance it because at some time it becomes due. I don’t want to arrive in 2025 or 2026 and declare, “How are we even going to get into the season? We have $112 million to unload.”
The increased cap makes it much simpler for the Bills to go under the cap this season, though they still have some challenging choices to make.
