The Buffalo Bills have $7 million against their salary cap this year in money going to Ryan Fitzpatrck. EJ Manuel, by comparison, makes about $800,000 on his rookie contract and has a signing bonus of about $1.2 million, for a cap hit of just over $2 million.
So who do you have Sunday, the expensive quarterback or the cheap one?
Even if they won’t admit it, this game against their former quarterback is huge for Manuel and the Bills. They can’t afford to lay a dud.
