In the NFL, it’s not just about stacking superstars—it’s about playing chess with the salary cap. If you fumble the money game, you can kiss your Super Bowl dreams goodbye. The Buffalo Bills clearly got the memo and have been making some major cash moves this offseason to stay in the mix without going broke.

Biggest headline? They cut Von Miller. Yeah, the dude’s a legend, but at 36 and coming off a mid-season, paying him $17.5 million in 2025 just wasn’t it. By dropping him, the Bills freed up $8.4 million in cap space, though they still take a $15.4 million dead cap hit (pain). It’s not personal—it’s just business, and Buffalo had to make the tough call. And many fans are outraged at that move!

Von Miller’s career stats? Straight-up GOATed. In 186 games, dude’s racked up 581 tackles, 129.5 sacks, 27 forced fumbles, 9 recoveries, and 24 pass breakups—plus, he even got 2 picks and took both to the house. Oh, and let’s not forget, he’s tied for the most Super Bowl sacks ever with 4.5. Bro’s been terrorizing QBs since day one. Absolute menace, no cap.

Coming back to the situation at hand, before Von Miller’s release, the Bills were in cap space hell—$8.69 million over the limit. Lucky for them, the NFL bumped up the salary cap to somewhere between $277.5 million and $281.5 million, which helped, but they still had to make some power moves. Cutting Miller was step one, but they weren’t done yet.

Enter Greg Rousseau, aka the future of Buffalo’s D-line. The Bills handed him a four-year, $80 million bag with $54 million guaranteed. The guy’s been putting in work—182 tackles and 25 sacks since 2021—and instead of blowing cash on an aging vet, Buffalo is betting big on their young stars. W move.

They also locked in linebacker Terrel Bernard and wide receiver Khalil Shakir, who just secured a $53 million deal. Instead of going on a reckless spending spree, the Bills are doubling down on their homegrown talent—chemistry stays intact, and they avoid overspending on flashy free agents. It’s giving long-term vision.

What’s your perspective on:

Did the Bills make a smart move cutting Von Miller, or will they regret losing his experience?

Have an interesting take?

And yeah, they had to make some cuts too. Punter Sam Martin got the boot, saving them nearly $1.9 million. Not a headline grabber, but every little bit counts when you’re trying to make the math math. Next up? Decisions on guys like James Cook and Christian Benford, whose contracts could shake up the team’s financial situation.

The biggest wild card? Josh Allen. The face of the franchise is set to make $14.5 million in 2025, and the Bills are already scheming ways to restructure or extend his deal to keep the cap in check. However, they play it, Allen’s contract is gonna have a huge impact on how they build this team moving forward.

Bottom line? Buffalo is in its bag this offseason. Cutting Von Miller was tough, but the Bills are playing it smart—keeping their young core, trimming the fat, and making sure they don’t end up in salary cap jail. It’s all about the long game, and so far, they’re making the right moves.

Josh Allen’s end zone glow-up: Euro-step or we riot?

Josh Allen is HIM on the field, but even he can’t escape the receipts. Turns out, he made a promise and straight-up fumbled—literally. While vibing on the golf course, someone reminded him that he once swore he’d hit a “Euro-Step celebration” after scoring a touchdown. But in the heat of the moment? Bro totally forgot. His excuse? He gets too hype and blacks out when he scores.

But Bills Mafia wasn’t about to let that slide. Allen got called out again, and this time, he knew he had to lock in. He shook hands with Nick “Fat Perez” Stubbe and promised that on his first TD of the season, he’s hitting the Euro-Step. And with how often this man finds the end zone, we won’t have to wait long to see if he actually follows through.

Thing is, this isn’t even the only promise Josh has made. He’s been talking big about bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo too. Dude’s been hyping Bills Mafia up for that Super Bowl dream, and while the confidence is elite, it’s time to start delivering. No more empty promises, my guy. Next year, Bills Mafia must break the internet about winning the Super Bowl.

Last season, bro ran in 12 touchdowns—including two in Week 1 alone. Over his career? He’s stacked up 65 rushing TDs and even caught two himself. Man knows his way to the end zone, but will he actually remember to hit the move this time, or is it another “oops, my bad” moment?

Josh has always said that every TD—whether in Pop Warner or the NFL—feels just as electric. The man lives for the moment. But now, he’s got the whole internet watching, and Bills Mafia isn’t about to let him off the hook again. If he really wants to make things right, we better see that Euro-Step in Week 1.

No pressure, Josh. Just know that if you don’t deliver, Fat Perez—and the entire timeline—is coming for you.
