Emmanuel Sanders

The Buffalo Bills don’t have many changes on the offensive side of the ball but one big change is the addition of Emmanuel Sanders. The team released John Brown in the offseason and signed free agent Emmanuel Sanders to a one-year deal.

The veteran receiver now joins a deep wide receiver group that includes Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, and Gabriel Davis. It remains to be seen exactly where Sanders fits in this group but getting off to a fast start with Josh Allen will be important.

Brian Daboll talked about Sanders and what he brings to this offense last month. He described a player that can play inside or outside which could indicate that the Bills offensive coordinator doesn’t necessarily have a role in mind and will move Sanders around.

There is no question that Emmanuel Sanders is going to be a big part of this offense and the quicker he gets up to speed, and on the same page, should help the Bills offense not only maintain the performance from last season but surpass it.
