I don't think Hines' cap hit is quite that high, but Hines is very well compensated for a RB - he is currently projected as the 15th highest cap hit for RB's for 2023 since many RB's are on rookie deals.

But I agree - I think the move was made to re-adjust funds in next year's budget.

Also wonder if Buffalo keeps Hines or if he ends up being a rental. If he stays with the Bills, I imagine they will try to renegotiate his contract.
