Buffalo Bills: 5 Players who won’t survive 2017 training camp
By Brenden Deeg
The Buffalo Bills are in an odd position as a franchise and could shake things up at 2017 training camp, which could mean bad news for these five players.
The Buffalo Bills enter training camp in 2017 after an offseason that yielded a vast number of changes. The Bills fired head coach Rex Ryan before the end of the 2016 season and replaced him with Sean McDermott. After the draft, the Bills decided to go in a different direction in the front office, and let go general manager Doug Whaley.
After a short interview process, the Bills decided to go with Brandon Beane, who was previously the assistant general manager for the Carolina Panthers, a former colleague of McDermott’s.
With all the adjustments on the sidelines and the front office, not too much has changed on the field. The Bills will bring back the core of their offense in Tyrod Taylor and LeSean McCoy, and their big money defensive tackle, Marcel Dareus, will return to control the inside of the defense.
Their No. 1 corner, Stephon Gilmore, left for the division rival New England Patriots, which means they will look for first-round pick Tre’Davious White to step in and fill his spot. With not that many key positions up for grabs during training camp, there are still a few players on the team who may not survive training camp. These five veterans have to change the narrative if they want to avoid being cut.
