With a few small tweaks, the 2021 Buffalo Bills squad will resemble the 2020 Buffalo Bills roster. When Sean McDermott spoke to media the day after the team’s AFC Championship Game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, he highlighted his goal to retain as much of Buffalo’s roster intact as possible.
McDermott and Brandon Beane did just that this offseason.

With a tight salary constraint and a handful of expiring contracts, Beane and his staff managed to assemble a squad that they believe has a potential to build on the team’s inspirational season in 2020. This season, the roster battles will largely feature depth players and younger players at turning points in their respective careers.
