CorkScrewHill Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Bills have 84 players under contract plus 3 unsigned rookies .. so 12 not participating. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2021/05/19/75-show-up-buffalo-bills-voluntary-offseason-workouts/ Does anyone have insight into who is and is not attending? 3 1
BringBackFergy Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 How does 75 of 90 compare to other teams? Seems like a pretty good turnout to me. 4

This is also what I’m wondering. I’ve seen it posted on several Bills sites but I’m not sure if 75 is supposed to be a substantial number or not. Like what was the number 2 years ago? I mean 75 out of 84 sounds really good to me 🤷🏻♂️

We will know who doesn’t attend next week when voluntary OTAs begin. The media will be able to be there at certain times.

OTAs don’t start until next week? So we don’t know. Right now I think McKenzie, Diggs, Sanders, and Hughes are not in B’lo but that’s not to say they don’t plan to fly in before Monday.

That team is extremely stacked on both sides of the ball. The only people ignoring them are media and that is because they are Cleveland and for no other reason. 1 3

They've been called a contender by everyone, with the only caveat being the play of Mayfield. 7

Plenty of people are already proclaiming that the Browns are the biggest threat to the Chieves in the AFC.
chongli Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Well if those players on the edge want to make a good impression, they had better show up!

They've been called a contender by everyone, with the only caveat being the play of Mayfield. Caveat also discussed a lot is their defense. 16 new players including 9 new starters. It’s not a negative per se because they upgraded in talent where it was sorely needed, within the secondary in particular. It is more of a question mark, as no one knows what the defense will look like with that many new players in the scheme. One reason why in-person OTAs would be more beneficial for that group than most teams but thus far doesn’t appear they are on board. Generally the thought is that because the Browns’ Center JC Tretter is the president of the nflpa, he’s influencing the vets to stay away. Edited May 20, 2021 by YoloinOhio 2

Process Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Don't workouts start next week? Can't player still show up over the next few days?
