'On the positive side, the Patriots would owe Buffalo a fifth-round pick in the 2017 draft because the Bills gave Gillislee an original-round tender. Currently the Bills have only six picks at their disposal. Also, the Bills would get about $1.2 million in salary cap space. If the Bills were to retain Gillislee, they’d have to absorb a $4 million cap hit in 2017 which would drop them below $10 million in available cap space.'
