Offensive Line

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

Cut: Jarron Jones, Demetrius Rhaney, Russell Bodine, Garrett McGhin, Ike Boettger

A common theme for this year’s Buffalo Bills is that there position groups are more improved than this time last year and the offensive line is no different. They entered the year last year losing three starters with the trade of Cordy Glenn, the release of Richie Incognito and the surprise retirement of Eric Wood.

A strapped salary cap situation limited what the Bills were able to do in addressing the position last year. However, this year they made it a point to bring in talent through free agency and the NFL Draft and it looks like they have succeeded.

Based on these projections, the Bills will be entering this season with only two offensive linemen from last year’s team, Dion Dawkins and Connor McDermott. The success of this group will come down to how quickly they can come together as a group considering they have had limited snaps this summer due to injuries to key players.
