Latest Fantasy Rumors
Offseason cut candidate
Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic thinks the Bills could cut Klein to save cap space this offseason.
ANALYSIS
Klein is a backup linebacker on a team that uses a nickel defense as its base package, reducing the need for depth at the linebacker position. Buffalo's tight on cap space and could save $5.2 million by cutting Klein, whose performance is likely to decline anyway because he's on the wrong side of 30.
