Cody Ford, a guard with the Buffalo Bills, has been traded to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for a 5th-round pick in 2023. As general manager Brandon Beane continues to pare down the roster to 53 players for the regular season, this decision makes sense.
After 2022, Ford’s $1.47 million salary in Buffalo is no longer accounted for. To pay for the bonuses owing to Ford, the team takes a dead-cap cost of $910,000.
Ford, who the Bills selected 38th overall in 2018, had spent the previous three seasons with the team but had failed to live up to the lofty expectations placed on most second-round picks.
Many experts predicted that he would be an early draft pick at tackle, but he had trouble making the transition. The Bills didn’t see much improvement in his play after he switched to guard, and he eventually ran as the ninth lineman in training this summer.
