These are six players who could be surprise cuts for the Buffalo Bills this offseason.

The Buffalo Bills are set to make the playoffs for the third time in four years under Sean McDermott. The Buffalo Bills head coach, along with general manager Brandon Beane, have a done a good job of almost turning over the entire roster and bringing top talent that elevated this franchise.

While they have had to make tough decisions along the way, this offseason will be especially tough because after a few seasons with cap space, they have little room to add to the roster. With the extensions for players like Dion Dawkins, Tre’Davious White and Jordan Poyer combined with a salary cap that is not expected to increase, the Bills are set to have a little over $5 million in cap space this offseason, according to Spotrac.

This means the team may have to cut some players who have been key contributors for the Buffalo Bills this season. However, with the savings the team would get in terms of salary, along with other players on the roster, these are six players the team could end up cutting after this season.
