Tight end (4)
Dawson Knox, Lee Smith, Tyler Kroft
PUP list: Tommy Sweeney
Cuts: Nate Becker, Jason Croom
Pretty cut and paste for the tight end unit throughout the entire offseason. Dawson Knox needs to improve his drop problem and rookie blocking abilities from 2019, but he’s going to get that chance as Buffalo’s No. 1, while Tyler Kroft will get an opportunity to just stay healthy and contribute a bit more.
Info on Tommy Sweeney’s foot injury is currently scarce. He can be removed from the PUP list at any time before the first game, but he’s been on that designation for awhile now. Plus, offensive lineman Jon Feliciano, who’s expected to miss multiple games himself (chest) hasn’t been put on the PUP list, so… But, 2020 could be a big year for Knox and Sweeney if the Bills are going to move into the long-term future with both. In the short term, both will be be on the Bills roster again, as will Lee Smith, who will take the bulk of extra-blocking duties and provide a veteran presence.
