Offensive Line

Dion Dawkins, Quinton Spain, Mitch Morse, Cody Ford, Ty Nsekhe, Wyatt Teller, Spencer Long, Jon Feliciano, Ryan Bates

Cut: De’Ondre Wesley, Conor McDermott, Jarron Jones, Demetrius Rhaney, Russell Bodine, Garrett McGhin, Ike Boettger

The Buffalo Bills front office focused on this offensive line this offseason and elevated the talent across the board. The team will be entering with four new starters, added either via free agency or the NFL Draft. However, they also added great depth with players like Spencer Long and Jon Feliciano.

The one surprise in this group could be Ryan Bates, who the team acquired in a trade with the Eagles just last week. However, he has quickly moved up the depth chart and was the team’s center on the second-team.

It is pretty impressive to see Bates move up this quickly on the depth chart and if he continues to play well, he should be a lock for the 53-man roster.
