Running back (5)
Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, TJ Yeldon, Taiwan Jones, Patrick DiMarco
Cuts: Reggie Gilliam, Christian Wade (roster exemption)
At running back, Devin Singletary and Zack Moss lead the backfield, it just depends how those carries get split heading into the season. TJ Yeldon provides the Bills a veteran option that could be scratched on most game days, just like in 2019. Pre-injury, Taiwan Jones was a lock for the team’s roster. However, he’s banged up and then the Bills curiously traded from linebacker Andre Smith.
Both Jones and Smith are mostly special teamers and Jones has missed quite a bit of time with a knee injury. Curious, we won’t be surprised if we’re wrong on Jones, but the Bills do very much covet his skills there so we’ll project he sticks.
On Patrick DiMarco and Reggie Gilliam… not so sure the rookie is actually a tight end. McDermott will take any edge he can get and go to great lengths to do so. Having said that, putting out a signal to other teams that Gilliam’s too bad at his position of fullback and had to be switch to tight end is a good way to make sure he slides onto your practice squad as a future replacement for DiMarco down the road? Just saying.
But in terms of 2020, DiMarco sticks despite missing a lot of practices with a neck injury.
