12 Bills free agency thoughts after release of John Brown & Quinton Jefferson
Updated Mar 10, 2021;
Just about four hours after the NFL informed teams that the 2021 salary cap would be $182.5 million, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane began working to add cap space just four days before the unofficial start of free agency.
The Bills released wide receiver John Brown and defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson, adding $14.4 million in cap space just from those two moves alone. Buffalo also restructured the contracts of center Mitch Morse (on Tuesday) and Vernon Butler. Both players took pay cuts to shrink their cap hit, which should bring the team to around $20 million in cap space as things stand right now.
