Buffalo Bills: 4 players who could be cut after the 2021 season

Mitch Morse

2021 Cap Hit: $8,327,941

2022 Cap Hit: $11,250,000

2022 Cap Savings: $7,500,000

The Buffalo Bills starting center agreed to a restructuring of his contract this offseason that saved the team about $5 million in cap space. However, next season with Morse entering his final year of his contract the two sides may not have the luxury of re-working a deal and with him going to be 30 entering next season the Bills may not want to extend him any further.

Morse joined the Buffalo Bills in 2019 and at the time became one of the highest paid centers with his four year, $44 million deal. He played well his first season with the team and started every game.

However, this past season he did miss two games due to injury and ability to stay on the field has been an issue for Morse, outside of the 2019 season. The Bills also saw they could get similar production from the position with a player like Jon Feliciano, who would carry a much lower cap hit.

The center position is a critical position on the offensive line and the team is certainly better when Morse is on the field. However, the starting center may need to play every game, and play at a high level, to validate the cap hit he is currently scheduled for in 2022 if he wants to remain on the team.
