Buffalo had just like 1.1M in cap room and signed this dude to 20M a year and Howard for 3.5M a year

How? Lol

Remember a team can prorate the money in a contract and spread out things like signing bonuses etc... They can also cut players to make room for the new ones. ;)

The #Cowboys are releasing OL La'el Collins today, sources tell me and @RapSheet. He'll be a free agent.

I don't think our chances are zero to none, I think they are probably quite good. Once he's officially released I think he'll be a Bengals within 24 to 48 hours.

Right. But just imagine their cap in the next year or so. Dammit man. They'll have to be -34M next year or so.

And once Josh Allen rookie deal is up and his pay doubles + they are truly screwed paying a 36 old LB 20 million.
