The Sean McDermott-coached Buffalo Bills were one of the surprise packages in the NFL last season. Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs led the Bills to their first AFC East title since 1996 with a 13-3 record. The Bills defeated the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens en route to the AFC Championship game.

However, their campaign came to an abrupt end with a humbling 28-34 loss to Super Bowl LIV champions, Kansas City Chiefs. Despite the heartbreak, the Bills fanbase was more than happy with the team’s display over the course of the 2020 NFL season.

The Bills made some big roster moves last year. But the decrease in the cap space due to the Coronavirus crisis means that the AFC East title holders are working with a limited budget of $5,295,320 this summer.

The report further states that Addison will make $1.99 million less than compared to 2020. Meanwhile, Butler took a pay cut of $2 million. But both Addison and Butler have performance-based incentives included as part of their deal.

The Bills are looking to move some more money around in order to free up additional cap space and make way for new signings. GM Beane is also aiming to re-sign soon-to-be free agents, Jon Feliciano and Daryl Williams.

The AFC East franchise has been on an upward trajectory in recent years. They almost sealed a spot in Super Bowl LV last season. But a strong offseason in 2021 could be the key to going that extra mile this season.
