Bills create cap space by restructuring A.J. Epenesa, DaQuan Jones contracts
On the brink of the 2024 NFL regular season, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane gave himself a little wiggle room on the salary cap incase a move comes during the upcoming year.
According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the team has restructured the contracts of pass rusher AJ Epenesa and defensive tackle DaQuan Jones. Reportedly the moves have opened $2,78 million in salary cap space:
The Bills restructured the contracts of DE A.J. Epenesa and DT DaQuan Jones, creating $2.78M in cap space.
The 49ers restructured the contract of DT Maliek Collins, creating $5.432M in cap space.
Buffalo was tight to the cap, while San Francisco sticks with its trend of moving…

Prior to restructuring, Over The Cap had the Bills over the current salary cap. Now updated, Buffalo as $2.7M in cap space moving forward.
Both Epenesa and Jones re-signed in Buffalo this offseason. Epenesa inked a two-year , $12M deal this spring which was followed by Jones’ two-year, $16M extension.
Beane likely does not have a pending move in mind, but he has not been scared to make in-season moves which require salary cap space. In 2023, Buffalo traded for cornerback Rasul Douglas at the trade deadline.
