Back to the Buffalo Bills Newsfeed

Almost two thirds of the players they picked from 2011 to 2016 aren’t on the team anymore.

The Buffalo Bills released Cyrus Kouandjio yesterday, the culmination of a rough offseason for the young offensive tackle.

It’s also the continuation of a bad trend for the Bills, who have been shedding their draft picks from the last few seasons at an alarming rate. Of the 46 players the Bills drafted from 2011 to 2016, only 16 remain on the team after Kouandjio’s release. Their draft pick retention rate over that time of 34.8% is dead last in the NFL, well behind runner-up Indianapolis and their 37.2% rate.

What’s been happening to these players?
