ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - The Buffalo 法案s underwent a 激烈な makeover on Wednesday, with salary cap 強制s 軍隊ing the four-time AFC East defending 支持する／優勝者s to 削減（する） into their 核心 by 解放（する）ing five players, 含むing safety Jordan Poyer and 中心 Mitch Morse.
Also 削減（する） was cornerback Tre´Davious White, a person with direct knowledge of the 決定／判定勝ち（する） told The Associated 圧力（をかける）.
The person spoke to the AP on the 条件 of anonymity because the 法案s did not 含む White in their 告示 because of the タイミング of his 解放（する）. White, who is recuperating after 涙／ほころびing his 権利 Achilles tendon in Week 4, is 存在 指定するd as a 地位，任命する-June 1 削減（する）, which 供給するs the 法案s 付加 cap 貯金.
The three players alone 連合させるd for 27 seasons of NFL experience, 含むing 16 with the 法案s. The moves were necessary with Buffalo entering the offseason a 事業／計画（する）d NFL-high $44 million over the salary cap.
Also 削減（する） were sixth-year backup cornerback Siran Neal, backup receiver Deonte Harty and running 支援する Nyheim Hines.
The 法案s saved another $8.6 million in cap space by 再編成 辛勝する／優位 rusher 出身の Miller's 契約, a second person with direct knowledge of the 取引，協定 told the AP. The person spoke on the 条件 of anonymity because the 法案s don't discuss 契約 discussions. Miller's 再編するd 契約 was first 報告（する）／憶測d by ESPN.com.

Buffalo was also able to 保持する several 未解決の unrestricted 解放する／自由な スパイ／執行官s. The 法案s agreed to re-調印する safety Taylor Rapp to a three-year 契約, the first person said, speaking on the 条件 of anonymity because the 取引，協定 has not been 調印するd. The person said the 法案s were also in 会談 with 解放する／自由な スパイ／執行官 quarterback Mitch Trubisky to fill the backup 職業 he held in Buffalo in 2022 after spending last season with Pittsburgh.
The 法案s 発表するd re-調印 backup 不快な／攻撃 lineman David Edwards to a two-year 契約 拡張, and punter Matt Haack to a one-year 拡張.
The players 保持するd were 影を投げかけるd by the subtractions.
The depth of 削減（する）s was 厳しい and in some 事例／患者s surprising. But the 法案s had a bloated payroll as a result of GM Brandon Beane´s 追跡 to build a 競争相手 coupled with the 高くする，増すd costs of 保持するing 星／主役にする players.
Quarterback Josh Allen, whose six-year, $258 million 契約 kicked in last season, 代表するs a $47 million salary cap 攻撃する，衝突する alone in 2024. 追加する in receiver Stefon Diggs and left 取り組む Dion Dawkins, and the three players' total of $91.5 million makes up nearly 35% of Buffalo´s $255.4 million cap 限界.
While Beane 表明するd 救済 at the NFL 連合させる in Indianapolis about the cap making a league-記録，記録的な／記録する $30.6 million jump entering 2024, he also understood the challenge ahead.
The balancing 行為／法令／行動する for Beane was creating enough 柔軟性 to restock a roster that at the time featured 22 player s 適格の to become unrestricted 解放する／自由な スパイ／執行官s, and how much cap money he 押し進めるd into the 未来 that could 限界 his spending in the に引き続いて seasons.
"Now that we know the cap, we´re working through getting under, and then how much can we create without 全く piling up a 抱擁する mess in 2025 or ´26," he said.
The 法案s enter a reset period in their 移行, with Beane 焦点（を合わせる）d on 試みる／企てるing to re-調印する 辛勝する／優位 rushers A.J. Epenesa and Leonard Floyd, and 防御の 取り組む DaQuan Jones, before the 調印 period 公式に begins on March 13.
Wednesday's moves, however, can´t be understated.
Most 顕著に, they 代表する the 崩壊／分裂 of a 退役軍人 第２位 that was formed in 2017, when Buffalo 調印するd Poyer and Micah Hyde in 解放する／自由な 機関, and then selected White in the first 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of the 草案 a month later. Hyde´s 未来 is uncertain with the 33-year-old 熟視する／熟考するing 退職 after 完全にするing the final year of his 契約.
White, who had two seasons left on his 契約, is coming off his second season-ending 傷害 after he 傷つける his 権利 膝 in November 2022.
Morse spent five seasons in Buffalo, where he 設立するd himself as the 不快な／攻撃 line´s unquestioned leader while building a の近くに 社債 with Allen. Morse had one year left on his 契約, and was 調印するd in 解放する／自由な 機関 after spending his first four seasons with Kansas City.
Morse 表明するd surprise when asked if he might be 削減（する） a day after the 法案s' season ended に引き続いて a 27-24 loss to Kansas City in a divisional 一連の会議、交渉／完成する プレーオフ game.
"I wasn´t 推定する／予想するing that question," Morse said. "If they have me 支援する I´ll be 支援する. So that´s the 計画（する） and looking 今後 to that, but 権利 now, that´s not where my 長，率いる´s at."
Poyer, 合間, had an inkling hi s time in Buffalo was approaching an end. Before the game against Kansas City, Poyer and Hyde, joined by nickel 支援する Taron Johnson, made it a point to run の上に the field together for what they considered could be one last time.
Rapp, who spent his first four seasons with the Los Angeles 押し通すs before 調印 with Buffalo a year ago, will get an 適切な時期 to take over one of the starting 職業s.
The 26-year-old Edwards, who appeared in all 17 games in a backup 役割 last season, is 事業／計画（する）d to take over at left guard, with Connor McGovern making the switch to 取って代わる Morse at 中心.
