According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bills are designating White as a post-June 1 cut. This will save Buffalo $10.2 million in salary cap space in 2024, with $6.2 million in dead money. White can sign with any team once the league year starts on March 13.
White, 29, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection, with a First-team All-Pro in 2019 and a Second-team All-Pro in 2020. The former first-round pick was drafted by the Bills in 2017.
In 2023, White suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 4.
Meanwhile, Poyer’s release saves the Bills $5.72 million on the cap, with $2 million in dead money. Poyer, 32, was slated to have a cap figure of $7.72 million in 2024.
Poyer spent the past seven seasons in Buffalo, becoming one of the leaders of Sean McDermott’s defense. Poyer earned First-team All-Pro in 2021 and made the Pro Bowl in 2022.
