Bills announce jersey number changes for 2021

A new year means new jersey numbers for some returning veteran members of the Buffalo Bills, including Cody Ford—the expected starter at right guard.

Meanwhile, the team has announced which jersey numbers Buffalo’s 11-member free-agency class will wear for the 2021 season.

Ford, entering his third year with the Bills, is switching from jersey No. 70 to No. 74 for this year. The switch is a return to his Oklahoma Sooner days, when Ford was a mauler in his No. 74 jersey.

Newly signed wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will return to his Denver Broncos roots and wear No.
