Apparently Hines would count $6,000,000 towards the cap in 2023. Most likely why he was traded.

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.

I think you're right. Cap hit was $2.8m and $2.0m the past two years. Will be around $4.8m and $5.5m next two years assuming it's not redone.

Gotta stop listening to Julio down by the schoolyard. Nothing but wrong info from that hack.

Good for Hines! He goes to a playoff team and will see more playing time.
