DONE DEAL: Another 26-years old brilliant star has signed a contract with the Bills.

The Buffalo Bills’ situation concerning their top receivers is grounded in objective realities rather than emotional judgments. The key facts are twofold: firstly, there’s a potential loss of Gabe Davis to free agency, and secondly, Stefon Diggs experienced a somewhat underwhelming second half of the season. As the free agency period approaches, there are considerations and suggestions to address or potentially replace Davis, with Michael Pittman being proposed as a candidate.

Pittman had an impressive season with the Indianapolis Colts, playing all 16 games and recording 109 receptions for 1,152 yards and four touchdowns. Notably, he achieved this despite uncertainties at the quarterback and running back positions throughout the season. However, there are two significant issues with the idea of Pittman joining the Bills.

Pro Football Focus (PFF) identifies Buffalo as a top potential landing spot for Pittman. However, it’s suggested that PFF might be overlooking crucial factors, specifically the budget constraints of both the Bills and the Colts. While the Bills may be interested, the financial aspects, including the team’s budget and the Colts’ ability to retain Pittman, should be thoroughly considered. The Colts seemingly have the cap space to keep him, and there’s even the option of using the franchise tag if necessary.

If the Bills are interested in acquiring him, Spotrac reports that the team is currently facing a daunting $51 million cap deficit as they head into the offseason. While this figure is expected to change before the NFL business year commences on March 13, the financial constraints pose a considerable challenge for General Manager Brandon Beane and the Bills to make significant moves. The commonly held belief is that the salary cap can be creatively managed, allowing teams to navigate various transactions. In the case of Buffalo, despite their impressive 11-6 record and fourth consecutive AFC East division title this season, the financial dynamics pose a substantial hurdle for ambitious moves. Despite the allure of a “go for it” approach, especially with the competitive window afforded by quarterback Josh Allen, the feasibility of executing such plans, particularly in pursuit of players like Pittman, remains uncertain.
