The [Buffalo Bills](https://www.buffalorumblings.com/) may have been looking to cut Matt Milano this offseason, it would appear. On Tuesday, it was reported that Milano agreed to a pay cut and that his contract would end after the 2025 season in a major renegotiation of his deal.
Milano was set to make nearly $14.5 million in cash in 2025 but that has been lowered by more than $3 million according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Milano can earn the cut money back via unreported incentives. Presumably his 2025 salary was also fully guaranteed in the transaction as is customary.
Releasing Milano would not have saved the Bills any 2025 cap space, though they could have used the post-June 1 designation to push off having their cap hit for him increase in this season.
The Bills originally gave Milano a two-year extension in March of 2023 but he’s dealt with multiple injuries since then playing only nine games combined in 2023 and 2024. Now his contract will end after the 2025 season and allow him to become a free agent.
