The Bills have restructured the contract of wide receiver Stefon Diggs, Field Yates of ESPN reports. They converted base salary into a bonus, creating another $5.4 million in cap space.

It comes on the heels of their restructures of the contracts of quarterback Josh Allen and edge rusher Von Miller, which freed up $32 million in salary cap space.

The Bills converted $6.754 million of Diggs’ 2023 salary into a signing bonus, according to Spotrac.

Diggs’ cap hits now will be $14.8 million in 2023, $27.8 million in 2024, $27.3 million in 2025, $28.4 million in 2026 and $22.5 million in 2027.

Diggs, 29, made 108 receptions for 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2022, making his third Pro Bowl since arriving to Buffalo in a trade from the Vikings.

  1. Miller, Allen and Diggs restructuring … Beanne is about to make a move.

  2. Wait, I thought the Bills were in cap hell for the next twenty years. Was I lied to?

    This is a team accounting move. You know it is nothing to do with Diggs wanting out, or to stay, right? However, at those cap numbers, he won’t be there for another 3 years, or maybe even 2.

  4. The cap space leveraging is telling you they are going to go for a FA or make a trade for another offensive weapon like RB and WR. If they dont its wildcard for them. Too bad they cant also force out Dorsey and McDermott like they did to Frasier.
