Bills restructure Bass deal: $1M guaranteed

The Buffalo Bills have reached a contract agreement with kicker Tyler Bass, restructuring his deal to include a mutual compromise. Bass has taken a $1.5 million pay cut from his previous contract. In exchange, the Bills have guaranteed him a minimum of $1 million for the upcoming season, ensuring he receives this amount even if he is released.

This new agreement also presents Bass with an opportunity to earn back his full pay through performance-based incentives. These incentives, along with an escalator clause, could allow him to reach up to $3.5 million in 2026. The restructure comes after Bass missed the entire 2025 season due to an injury sustained during the preseason.
