Nothing.
But they take the cap hit of his pre-rated bonus off that god-awful extension they gave him a couple years back.
And they won't pay him anything beyond that.
All this does for them is move the dead cap they would've taken in 2025 when they cut him into 2024. Over a 2 year window it saves them about $19 million (hurts them a bit this year, helps them next year; sum total savings on the cap is $19 million over those two years).
It's the football equivalent of holding your L. They realized that the extension was pretty much a disaster and have decided to eat their shit now vs. later (presumably with the idea that taking that hit now will help them next season when Allen's deal gets even bigger).
Buffalo's in a little trouble here, fellas.
