Moore originally carried a $24.

5 million cap charge for 2026, and because the full base salary amount was already fully guaranteed, Buffalo had little reason not to convert it into bonus money. The Bills reduced his base salary to the veteran minimum of $1. 3 million and converted $22.

185 million into a signing bonus, spreading that amount over four seasons and a void year at $4,437,000 per year. That drops Moore’s 2026 cap hit to $6. 752 million, including allocation of $765,000 for per-game roster bonuses, and $250,000 workout bonus (if both bonuses remain).
