Buffalo Bills Cap Space 2023
The 2023 Buffalo Bills cap space was taken from OverTheCap on Feb. 17. The total base 2023 NFL salary cap space is $224.8M.
Heading into the 2023 NFL Free Agency period, the Buffalo Bills’ cap space sits at $16,770,436 over the cap. Clearly, the Bills have some work to do to first get under the salary cap, then find some extra money to hopefully resign some of the current Bills free agents.
