Post-minicamp 53-man roster projection for the Buffalo Bills

The 2022 Buffalo Bills completed their 2022 minicamp cycle last week. It’ll now be a few weeks until we see the team again at training camp.

But let’s not allow that to get us down. Instead, let’s hit another look ahead.

Here is Bills Wire’s post-minicamp 53-man roster projection:

Roster (2): Josh Allen, Case Keenum

The Bills have been fine hanging onto two quarterbacks under the watch of coach Sean McDermott. Barkley will stick around on the practice squad, but we’ll monitor this situation going forward.

Naturally, Allen and Keenum, who Buffalo traded a late-round pick for, make the cut.

Roster (5): Devin Singletary, James Cook, Zack Moss, Taiwan Jones, Reggie Gilliam

Cut(s): Duke Johnson, Raheem Blackshear

The top four that make the roster are close to locks–Jones for special teams. Earlier this offseason Johnson wasn’t a guy written off by our predictions–But he is for now.

Cook, a similar style player to Johnson, factored too much into the work on offense during minicamp in little surprise. But it’s Gilliam who jumps over Johnson into the last running back spot because of Cook for his versatility to play tight end and on special teams.

Roster (2): Dawson Knox, O.J. Howard

Cut(s): Quintin Morris, Jalen Wydermyer, Tommy Sweeney

Howard didn’t overly impress at training camp. The Athletic reported he didn’t seem to have great quickness you’d expect in a former first-round pick. Still, he’s got experience and better blocking ability over other options.

Gilliam’s versatility probably allows the Bills to get one, or multiple, of their tight end cuts…
