The Buffalo Bills
Division: AFC East
2020: 13-3, 1st
Good Morning! Welcome to the Buffalo Bills offseason review. Exciting times in Buffalo as the team saw it's first playoff win since 1995. Sure the owner of team threatened to move to Austin and then the city council said they've heard nothing of it, one of the main wide receivers put out some strange press release on how he's pro-choice about vaccines after a tumultuous offseason actively being vocally against them and having a billionaire offer stock in a pharmacy company to help convince him to do the bare minimum(please get vaccinated they are very effective at keeping you alive and out of the hospital.), the Sabres are still a complete dumpster fire that gets worse by the day, wing prices are high, but hey a bunch of Bills fans saw the first playoff win in there lifetimes and that's pretty neat. Going into offseason the team sets the stage to reload and try again for a Super Bowl.

Free Agency
Players lost/cut
| Player | Position | New Team |
|---|---|---|
| Tyler Kroft | Tight End | Jets |
| Andre Roberts | Wide Receiver | Texans |
| John Brown | Wide Receiver | Raiders |
| Ty Nsekhe | Tackle | Cowboys |
| Brian Winters | Guard | Cardinals |
| Dean Marlowe | Safety | Lions |
John Brown: John Brown is a talented receiver that wound up an unfortunate cap casualty. Brown missed most of last season battling a calf injury and knee injury throughout the year. With a $9.775M, the sixth highest on the Bills roster for 2020 and an already talented WR room it was only a matter of time until he found his way off the team. Gabriel Davis had slowly taken over Brown's role on the offense, easily making this a good move for cap saving purposes. Brown finds his way to Oakland where he can continue his 8 year career.
Tyler Kroft: A rotational player in our weak TE room. Kroft struggled with injuries earlier in his time with Buffalo and was overtaken by Knox. Kroft by all accounts is a wonderful human but was getting paid $451,000 per reception with the Bills so quickly found his way out of Buffalo to the Jet
Andre Roberts: Roberts is a bigger loss than it seems. Roberts is a very good returner leading the NFL last at 30 yards per kick return. Roberts was a 2 time pro bowler with Buffalo both as a returner and leaves a hole expected to be filled by Isiah Mckenzie. Another move I am a fan of moving on from for younger talent.

Emmanuel Sanders: Unless you’re excited about Punters or titties getting kissed, the biggest acquisition of the offseason for the Bills is Sanders. Sanders comes to the Bills to replace John Brown after one of the worst statistical seasons of his career with the Saints last season. Despite starting to hit the wrong side of 30 for receivers, Sanders is a veteran player that can easily be plugged both inside, outside and contribute from Day 1 as a starter. My extremely bold prediction for this year is that if Sanders stays healthy for all 17 games he can hit 1,000 yards receiving.
Matt Haack: A lefty Punter that comes to the Bills from divisional rival The Miami Dolphins. Haack apparently wants to keep it in the family going from Long Snapper Blake Ferguson to brother Reid Ferguson. Haack held the Miami record for most punts downed within the 20 in a season.
Mitch Trubisky: Trubisky finds his way to Buffalo after Chicago decided not to pick up his 5th year option. Trubisky is an extremely cheap signing for an immediate upgrade over Matt Barkley in the backup QB spot. Hopefully he doesn’t have to see the field but if so I have enough faith to keep the ship relatively afloat if Josh is out for a short period of time.
Jacob Hollister: Tight end Jacob Hollister gets reunited with his QB at Wyoming in Josh Allen. An undrafted player that played for the Patriots and Seattle over his 4 year career. Hollister provides some needed depth and possible competition at the starting role.
