I mean, if there is literally nothing but a benefit to Diggs to do this it seems like it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Depends on the tax code.

Desert Bills Fan Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Digs was the biggest opportunity for restructure cap savings. Looks like the Bills could create another $20 mil in cap space if they did all the restructure moves identified on the overthecap web site. Seems like plenty of room to do as many deals as they want.... Edited June 1, 2021 by Desert Bills Fan

Just have to be careful and only do it with players you know you won't have to cut or trade since the signing bonus would be due in full at that point, instead of spread over the contract. 3 1

Allen’s new contract when it is done is an extension. It will have no impact on his salary in 2021. It’s how the CBA works for second contracts of draft picks. So the answer to your question, freeing up salary cap space in 2021 has nothing to do with Allen’s extension. 1 1

We’re literally stacked at WR and he has a bloated contract too boot also he hasn’t been able to stay healthy. I don't think we are either. I was just posting that to get some folks going who were advocating for us getting Julio in a previous thread.

The Bills are now set up to make it through the season comfortably. The Bills could even make a move with a relatively modest hit this year. Even a bigger move - like with a Steven Nelson level contract - could be made if it were a longer contract or if voidable years were used on a short one. 1

BuffaloRebound Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 A 5 month advance (mid point of season is around Halloween) on $11.7m is probably worth around $250k to Diggs if you assume banks would charge around 5% per year to lend to a guy who’s got significant assets.

Actually it is the opposite. Yes the money is paid in full at the beginning of the year but the real risk is they cut the player the following year. Then all that prorated signing bonus money becomes dead cap space. That is how they lower the cap hit this year by spreading it over the next several years.
mjt328 Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 The key here is the timing. June 1st is a key date for trades/cuts, because of how dead money is converted off contracts. Brandon Beane could have restructured Stephon Diggs at pretty much anytime after the season ended. He could have signed a player like Steven Nelson or Richard Sherman months ago during free agency. There is no rush for him to extend either Josh Allen or Tremaine Edmunds. The fact this happened today in the A.M., tells me Beane is eying a post-June 1 cut/trade candidate. 3
Royale with Cheese Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 We save more if Addison is cut now being that its June 1?

Either way - restructuring is always a player doing the team a favor in my eyes. This is huge! He will get taxed by ny standards rather than say game checks in Florida re Jacksonville and Miami where there is no tax

Desert Bills Fan Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 Oh yeah, if I recall: a signing bonus is paid up front, but as far as cap book-keeping it is spread over the length of the contract? 1

scuba guy Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 37 minutes ago, Virgil said: I’m not disagreeing, but is there any downside for him in doing this? This benefits him too because he’s get his whole salary right now, minus the min. Unless I’m missing something? All bonus money will be paid upfront at ny tax rates game checks like Miami and Jacksonville do not get taxed because there is no state income tax. So he will lose some money yes
