‘Harty was a First-Team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler back in 2019 as a member of the New Orleans Saints as a returner. Harty was named to the Pro Football Writers’ Association’s All-Rookie team that year.’

‘Allen has played a total of 23 games in the NFL, starting 19 of those contests for three different teams: Carolina Panthers, Washington Commanders and, most recently, the Houston Texans. The most games he’s played in a season was back in 2019 in Carolina, where he threw for 3,322 yards, 17 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 13 games and 12 starts.’

‘Here are how the contract breakdown for both players…’

‘Dodson has seen most of his playing action on special teams over the course of his four seasons with the Bills organization. Since being a part of the active roster in 2020, Dodson has averaged 61% of his snaps while either on kickoffs or punts.’

‘Now, the Bills have reportedly restructured the contract of Stefon Diggs, clearing an additional $5.4 million in salary cap space, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.’

‘The Bills came into the offseason roughly $16 million over the 2023 salary cap. With the reported contract restructures by the Bills on Monday, the team is estimated to now have a little more than $10.8 million of cap space, according to Spotrac.’

‘According to NFL Network insider, the Bears will be giving Edmunds a four-year contract worth up to $72 million, with $50 million of the money guaranteed.’

‘Lewis was scheduled to become a restricted free agent this offseason after spending the last four seasons with the Bills. Lewis was an undrafted free agent signing with Buffalo in 2019 following his collegiate career at the University at Buffalo.’

‘The team announced on Monday it has agreed to terms on a new three-year deal with veteran punter Sam Martin, along with veteran linebacker and special teams expert Tyler Matakevich on a one-year contract.’

‘The 25-year-old should step in and compete for one of the two starting guard positions on the Bills’ offensive line this training camp and preseason.’

‘Keenum joined the Bills last offseason as the replacement for Mitchell Trubisky, who left the team to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 35-year-old only saw limited action with Buffalo this past year, going 2-of-7 for eight yards on 24 total snaps.’

‘Milano was originally signed to a four-year contract extension just before he was set to hit the free agent market in 2021. This latest contract extension will keep him in Buffalo another two seasons, good through the 2026 season.’

‘There’s no doubt he’s played like that for the Bills, and is one of the top players in the league at his spot. But Poyer will be 32 in April and injuries have mounted, including missing four games this season. At some point the Bills have to start getting younger there. So it’s a tough position for them to balance.’

‘Jackson was the target of a lot of criticism from fans last year. He was often essentially serving as the team’s No. 1 corner, going against some of the top receivers in the league. That’s a tall task, and the Bills did get beaten by opponents’ top wide receivers a little too often. But Jackson is much better playing second-fiddle opposite a true number one guy. That couldn’t happen last year since the team did not have Tre’Davious White available until late November.’

‘Edmunds can be the poster child for what general manager Brandon Beane has always preached they want to do. Draft, develop, retain. Two of those three have happened. But it’s going to be tough to retain his services at that price, especially with the salary cap situation the team is in right now.’
