The Buffalo Bills faced significant salary cap constraints heading into the offseason, necessitating strategic moves such as restructuring contracts, making trades, releasing players, or allowing them to depart via free agency.
Despite these challenges, the Bills managed to maintain stability at the defensive end position by retaining the majority of their players. They accomplished this by re-signing A.J. Epenesa, adjusting Von Miller’s contract, exercising Greg Rousseau’s fifth-year option, securing Casey Toohill, selecting Javon Solomon in the fifth round of the draft, and acquiring a pass rusher from the AFC South.
Furthermore, the Bills added Dawuane Smoot to their roster on a one-year deal. This marks Smoot’s transition to his second team in his eighth season in the NFL.
