Cap-strapped Bills release high-priced players like Jordan Poyer; Tre’Davious White also being cut, per report

The Buffalo Bills are making several moves to get under the salary cap. On Wednesday, the team announced the release of five players: safety Jordan Poyer, defensive back Siran Neal, wide receiver Deonte Harty, center Mitch Morse and running back Nyheim Hines. The Bills will also release former Pro Bowl cornerback Tre’Davious White with a post-June 1 designation, according to CBS Sports lead NFL Insider Jonathan Jones.

By releasing Poyer, the Bills save $5.7 million in much-needed cap space, per Jones. Buffalo also plans to restructure cornerback Rasul Douglas’ contract in order to save another $2.5 million against its cap, according to ESPN. Meanwhile, Neal had a salary of nearly $3 million and Morse had a salary of $8.5 million in 2023. In other news Wednesday, the Bills announced they re-signed guard David Edwards and signed punter Matt Haack.

The Bills entered Wednesday dead last among all 32 teams in terms of cap space, according to Over The Cap, but they netted $25.1 million with Wednesday’s transactions, per Spotrac. They will gain an additional $10.2 million in June when the release of White becomes official.
