90 players in 90 days: Tight end Nate Becker

They tend to prefer to keep an athletic player who is an adept route-runner as the top tight end, but they like to employ a blocking specialist, as well. Over the last few years, that blocking tight end was veteran Lee Smith.
In March, the Bills traded Smith to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2022 seventh-round draft choice. Does that signal a change in philosophy in the tight end room, or will the Bills look to find a new blocking specialist to keep on the active roster?
