Over the Cap projects the Buffalo Bills will gain two draft compensatory selections in April’s draft.

The Bills will receive these picks in response to the losses of Gabriel Davis and Leonard Floyd last offseason. Davis signed a three-year, $39 million contract with Jacksonville, while Floyd penned a two-year, $20 million contract with San Francisco.

Teams earn compensatory picks when they have a net loss of qualified free agents over an offseason. The formula also considers the player’s average salary per year, snap counts, and awards.

Buffalo also lost key players Dane Jackson and Tyrel Dodson during the 2024 free-agency period.

Buffalo added Curtis Samuel and Austin Johnson.

With the contracts for Floyd and Davis far exceeding the deals for Samuel and Johnson, it appears the Bills are in line for compensatory picks. In the formula, the signings of Samuel and Johnson will most likely balance out with the Jackson and Dodson contracts.

Currently, Buffalo holds eight draft picks:

• Round 1
• Round 2
• Round 2: from Houston in Stefon Diggs trade
• Round 4
• Round 4: from Chicago
• Round 6
• Round 6: from Cleveland in Amari Cooper trade
• Round 6: from New York Giants

The NFL will officially award teams their compensatory picks in March. However, projecting these picks can help teams plan for the upcoming NFL Draft.
