The Buffalo Bills have freed up some cap space ahead of the new league year.
According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Bills converted $5.68 million of safety Micah Hyde’s contract into a signing bonus, creating $4.544 million in 2022 cap space.
Hyde signed a two-year extension last year and is under contract through the 2023 season.
The 31-year-old appeared in 17 regular season games and two playoff games for Buffalo in 2021, recording 80 tackles, six interceptions, one sack, one forced fumble and one defensive touchdown.
The Bills have signed guard Rodger Saffold and they are expected to sign defensive tackle Tim Settle and running back J.D. McKissic once players are allowed to officially agree to new deals on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
