Last season, the Buffalo Bills had some question marks surrounding their tight end position coming into the season. While there was clarity at the top of the depth chart, the back end of the group left Bills fans wondering what the team would do at final cut-downs.
The tight end position has been one where the coaching staff has kept more players rather than less. Since 2018, Buffalo has entered the regular season with at least four tight ends on the roster each year. Granted, one of those years (2019) saw the Bills keep five tight ends initially thanks to injuries, and another (2020) saw the Bills keep three and a player whose professional position had yet to be defined, but the coaches in Buffalo always seem to keep one more tight end than I’d like to see them keep.
