These are five Buffalo Bills who will outperform their contract in 2021.

The Buffalo Bills have one of the best general managers in the NFL in Brandon Beane. Since joining the team, he has been able to find value in free agency and the NFL Draft while also managing player’s contracts to put together the best roster possible.

When looking at this roster, there are a number of players who jump out as players who will likely outperform their cap hit, this season. While this may not necessarily be a true representation of salary or contracts, because not all cap hits are equal and how a contract is structured can have a significant impact, it is the best way to compare all the players on this roster for this season.

For this article, I have listed five players who I believe will finish the year ranked higher in terms of performance than what their cap hit is currently ranked for their position.
