Tight end
If we’re basing some of our last two on things the Bills front office has said, we should take into consideration that actions speak louder than words.
Earlier this offseason the Bills brought veteran tight end Greg Olsen in for a free agent visit. He opted to sign with the Seahawks instead. Perhaps the Bills just valued his veteran leadership, but he still would have commanded some snaps. Without Olsen, Dawson Knox resumes his role as the No. 1 tight end. As a rookie, Knox had some highlights. He also left plenty to be desired, especially with his hands. Knox has to improve in Year 2 to prove his potential is certain. But aside from Knox, there’s even more unproven commodities behind him. Tyler Kroft is back and he failed to find the field much last year due to injury. Lee Smith is not a modern day tight end. Tommy Sweeney was a former seventh-round pick, so place him in the same boat as Jackson at cornerback, very uncertain there.
There’s hope Knox can turn into Buffalo’s first ever modern-NFL tight end star. He’s got a long ways to go, though. Without some positive signs in 2020, the Bills could see tight end move up their list of “needs” pretty quickly next offseason.
