![]() ![]() Running Back (5)Ĭuts: Christian Wade, Kerrith Whyte*, Antonio Williams With Allen presumably fully vaccinated and not at risk of a mandatory quarantine, they don’t need a third QB. The Bills have Trubisky as the primary backup to Allen with Fromm and Webb both on the practice squad. Quarterback (2)Ĭut: Jake Fromm (trade if possible), Davis Webb Free-agent signings are marked with an asterisk while NFL Draft picks are marked with a plus sign and UDFAs are marked with a double plus sign. We listed players in alphabetical order in the roster list but there is a projected depth chart at the bottom. ![]() I have 54 names on this final roster, but Taiwan Jones and Jacob Hollister are perfect names for this type of roster move. The Bills have done that with players like Dean Marlowe in the past so they can sneak a young player onto the initial 53-man roster before placing him on injured reserve. If they make the initial roster then go to IR, they can return in as little as three weeks. If a player goes on IR before the final roster, they are done for the year. ![]() There are some roster shenanigans at play here, with a few back-end roster veterans who could be released and then re-signed later in the week. Here is my final projection following the preseason finale. Another season of discussing if Allen is an MVP candidate or not will be a pleasant conversation for Bills fans.įollow Bills Wire on Facebook!

He is now trending into Jim Kelly territory he has some time to get there, and the continuation of his work from the strong 2020 season will keep him on track. The Bills will be in a precarious position if they enter camp with only Webb and Fromm behind Allen on the depth chart, as both of the reserves did not dress for a game last season.Īllen raised the bar for the quarterback position in Buffalo. If the Bills don’t re-sign Barkley, then a veteran will be brought into camp. Barkley could come back, but it’s uncertain if he could guide this offense for any extended time if Allen were to miss due to injury. If Allen can improve upon his work from 2020, the Bills should be in a position once again to battle for the AFC crown.īeyond Allen, Buffalo will look for a veteran to backup the 2018 first-round pick. The hope is that Buffalo can find some more help in the trenches, as Allen’s ability to avoid sacks helped bail out the offensive line at times. There’s little reason to think to the contrary, as the team is returning most of the weapons around Allen. The offense is the strength of the Bills, and it will be on the shoulders of Allen to put together another great season for Buffalo. Buffalo knew there was great upside with Allen, and this season was the example of how the patience of Bills coaching staff paid off. He was more confident with the ball, held a stronger hand over the huddle, and showed better mechanics and decision-making. His improvement in the 2020 season was nothing short of astounding. Let’s not mess around: it all starts and ends with Allen. ![]() Mandatory Credit: Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports He earned a promotion in Week 17 and was inactive for the team’s final game against Miami. Webb (26): Webb was on Buffalo’s practice squad for the 2020 season. Stats: 11-of-21 passing, 197 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INTįromm (22): Fromm was inactive all season, as he was the team’s emergency “quarantine” quarterback. Otherwise, it was a quiet season for the veteran. He hit his pinnacle in Week 17, when he stepped in for Allen in a game that was well in hand and found wide receiver Gabe Davis on a bomb for a score. Stats: 69.2-percent completion percent, 4,544 passing yards, 37 passing TDs 10 INTs, 421 rushing yards 8 rushing TDsīarkley (30): Barkley saw some garbage time action this year. Allen set several team records this year, including most passing yards, most passing touchdowns, most total touchdowns, and best completion percentage in team history. His connection with wideout Stefon Diggs was remarkable, as the duo hooked up as one of the best QB-WR combinations in the NFL. He extended plays and battled through any defenders who found the backfield. Allen was highlight material each week, making stellar throws with ease. He was in discussion for the league MVP, finishing second in the voting, as he led the Buffalo offense in their most prolific season in franchise history.
