QB Case Keenum

Case Keenum is a brand new addition to the Buffalo Bills quarterback room. Keenum was acquired via trade with the Cleveland Browns soon after the Browns acquired Deshaun Watson. Keenum will now be the direct backup to Josh Allen for the Bills this season.

Verdict: Go

Keenum seems to be in Buffalo for one season as the backup to Josh Allen. At age 34, Keenum still has a little left in the tank, but I would be surprised if Buffalo pays to bring him back.

RB Taiwan Jones

The Special Teams savant Taiwan Jones returns to Buffalo on a one-year deal for the third consecutive year. While Jones is listed as a running back, he plays strictly special teams for Buffalo. Jones has only registered five offensive snaps in the past two seasons. While Jones will play this season at age 34, he has not shown any signs of slowing down on special teams.

Verdict: Stay 

If Jones continues his NFL career, it is hard to see it is with any team other than the Bills. Last year Jones was a captain, so it is clear that his presence is valued. However, at age 34, retirement is an option.

RB Devin Singletary

Devin Singletary struggled his sophomore season in 2020, so last season was a big one for the fourth-year running back out of Florida Atlantic. Singletary started slow but picked it up as the season went into the playoffs.

By the end of the season, Singletary was the only running back the Bills were willing to field. Singletary was on the field for 93% of offensive snaps in the playoffs and only really missed snaps because of the Bills blowing out the Patriots in the Wild Card Round.

With the addition of James Cook in the draft, the Bills now have a receiving back to pair with Singletary and could potentially out snap the Bills vet by season’s end.

Verdict: Stay

Singletary is a player the Bills like and should be affordable to keep. Singletary is good enough to warrant re-signing but not quite good enough to garner much attention from other teams. Keeping Singletary as a backfield partner with James Cook should be expected.
