The Buffalo Bills begin the new league year in a much brighter situation financially. Josh Allen’s contract has been restructured, opening up an extra $12 million in cap space for 2026. Initially, the much more exciting number of $40 million was floated, but some math got lost in translation.
Allen’s contract restructure, more so, helps the team ensure that they are cap compliant, allowing the franchise to push through the trade for D.J. Moore when the new league year rolls over. Moore’s contract can then be restructured to open up $17.7 million by converting his 2026 salary to a signing bonus.
