Bills’ Mitch Morse Takes Pay Cut

Bills center Mitch Morse has agreed to a salary reduction (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). The veteran was originally set to earn $7.025MM with a cap hit of $10.3MM+. Now, he’ll make about $2MM less in salary, though he can get close to his original number via incentives. 

Morse parlayed four solid Chiefs seasons into a four-year, $44MM+ deal with the Bills in 2019. His Kansas City tenure was maligned by injuries and concussions, but the Bills still saw his potential. In his eleven starts for KC in his platform year, he graded out as the 13th-best center in the league, per Pro Football Focus.

In Buffalo, Morse has continued to be the main man in the middle, starting 30 games over the last two years, plus every playoff game. That’s where he’ll remain for 2021 after accepting a trim.
