Bills, LT Dion Dawkins agree to restructured
Earlier this week, Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane was talking about a looming contract restructure for one of his players. Turns out, Pro Bowl starting left tackle Dion Dawkins was that guy, with Dawkins and the team agreeing on a restructure that will create an additional $5.6 million in salary cap space for this year. Buffalo now finds itself with approximately $10 million in cap space for the upcoming season, which could pave the way for another contract extension (All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer, potentially?), or the team has flexibility to bring in players should someone suffer an injury this year.
