The Buffalo Bills begin their mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, and there will be some key storylines to follow out of practice. One, for example, is the emergence of Chase Claypool and whether he can remain consistent through these practices as well. The Bills also have a few key battles to watch, and they could end in some veterans being released before they even make the hour and twenty-minute drive to Rochester for training camp.
With the Bills entering a new era of football as we’ve previously mentioned, that could result in more veterans being released this summer. The Bills are trying to keep their Super Bowl window open, and making cap-clearing moves like they did just a few short months ago could happen again soon.
The Bills will use this three-day minicamp to get a better idea of where these position battles are at, and if some street free agents can better help this team. Remember, the Bills received an extra $10M in cap space last week from the Tre White release. The roster construction isn’t done yet. The Bills used this time last year to add Leonard Floyd from free agency. With quality players still available, we could see another move similar to that.
By cutting these veterans now, the Bills not only can use those roster spots for more pressing needs, but it also allows those players to get a head start finding a team before training camp. Let’s take a look at two players the Bills could cut early.
