Last year, Isaiah McKenzie was a Restricted Free Agent, but instead of assigning him the RFA tender, the Bills re-signed him to a veteran minimum deal. This offseason as an unrestricted free agent, Buffalo doesn’t have the luxury of considering the RFA tag, and with both McKenzie and kick returner Andre Roberts hitting free agency, it’s possible only one sticks in 2021.
On Friday, we projected a league minimum contract for Roberts just two years after he signed a two-year, $4.6 million contract. It might be a little more than the salary floor, but there aren’t any pure returners in the league making more than that.
