The National Football League's 2021 league year officially started at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Every team must now be under the league-wide salary cap of $182.5 million, plus any rollover money from 2020.
It also means all players are now officially on active rosters, with a limit of 90 players per-team, and teams may begin making official transactions.
For the Buffalo Bills, 13 players who were on the roster at the end of the 2020 season became unrestricted free agents and are now eligible to sign with other clubs. That includes two players who were restricted free agents but not given minimum qualifying offers - cornerback Levi Wallace and punter Corey Bojorquez.
As of Wednesday night, Wallace was brought back into the fold as he agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Bills.
One player that was given the minimum qualifying tender was offensive lineman Ike Boettger. The $2.13 million tender means the Bills retain Boettger's rights, but another team may offer him a contract. If that happens, the Bills will have the right to match the offer, but will not receive any compensation if they choose not to.
