The Buffalo Bills announced they have released five players.

The NFL has changed the way they are asking the Buffalo Bills and the other teams in the league to cut their rosters down to the league-mandated 53 players before the start of the regular season. Last year, most teams were only allowed 80 players (the Bills had 81 due to Christian Wade’s exemption as part of the International Player Pathway Program) and there was just one cut down date to go from 80 players to 53.
