The Buffalo Bills reportedly have their first player that has opted out of playing for the team during the 2020 season due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that veteran defensive tackle Star Lotulelei will not suit up for the Bills next season.
As referenced by the report, Lotulelei’s contract will now be pushed back. In February, the Bills and Lotulelei agreed to restructure his contract.
In the restructure, Lotulelei is essentially guaranteed he’ll be on the Bills roster next season since his base salary becomes guaranteed. The Bills also tacked on a $2.5 million injury guarantee for the 2021 season as well. There were no other guaranteed money totals left on the final two seasons of Lotulelei’s deal.
In exchange, the Bills will see his base salary drop from $6.25 million to $4.5 million. Prior to restructuring his contract for the upcoming season, Lotulelei had the second-highest salary cap hit on the Bills, behind Mitch Morse. Lotulelei’s cap hit now drops from $10.1 million to $8.35 million next season. That drops his cap hit to the sixth-highest.
Since signing with the Bills, Lotulelei hasn’t missed a single game over the course of the past two years. He has 36 tackles, two sacks and an interception during his time in Buffalo. The 30-year-old lineman hasn’t had the sexiest job while with the Bills which earn stats, but his teammates and coaches often tout him as an unselfish player on the field in terms of his role. Lotulelei’s job in the middle of the D-line is to take up blockers while his teammates get after the quarterback or rusher. We’ll find out exactly how important of a piece Lotulelei is to the Bills defense now.
