Buffalo Bills Star Takes Pay Cut To Help Team
If you've paying attention to the news that has been coming from One Bills Drive, then you know that things are not all good for the hometown team. Bills fans all over the nation have been making their opinion known about all of the changes that have happened to the team over the last few days.
In the last week alone, we've seen several big names leave the team. So far, we've seen Jordan Poyer, Tre'Davious White, Mitch Morse, Siran Neal, and more cut by the team. While the bills have also brought some new players on and resigned a few existing folks, it's without a doubt that the team will look a lot different during the 2024/25 season.
All of this is due to the terrible condition the Bills are in on the financial side with the team being more than $40 million over the salary cap at the end of February. While it's not quite a fire sale in Orchard Park, things we're looking bleak.
