Will the Bills’ 2023/2024 team roster bring Buffalo back to the Super Bowl?

The most significant alteration for the Buffalo Bills during this off-season came in the form of defensive coordinator/assistant head coach Leslie Frazier‘s choice to step away from the team for the 2023 season. Initially perceived as a temporary break for Frazier, during which he was expected to return in 2024, he has now redirected his focus toward fresh opportunities within the NFL, aspiring to secure a head coaching position. If Frazier was retiring he wouldn’t be participating in the Coach’s Accelerator program.

Assuming the role of defensive coordinator is head coach Sean McDermott, who has previously held the same position with the Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers. McDermott has designated Eric Washington as the team’s new assistant head coach and defensive line coach, effective from this season onward. Additionally, the Bills have enlisted the services of Al Holcomb as a senior defensive assistant. McDermott announced that starters would play “around a quarter and a half, give or take” in the Bills’ preseason game against the Steelers.

Regarding the offensive aspect, Chad Hall, the wide receivers coach, departed from the team to undertake the same role with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Stepping into Hall’s position is former player Adam Henry (who spent the 2022 season as the wide receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator at Indiana).

Meanwhile, Austin Gund has been appointed as an offensive assistant focusing on the offensive line, and Kyle Shurmur has taken on the role of offensive quality control coach.

Tremaine Edmunds LB Chicago Bears 4 years, $72 million $50 million $14.7 million
Devin Singletary RB Houston Texans 1 year, $2.75 million $2.5 million $3.125 million
Jamison Crowder WR New York Giants 1 year, $1.317 million $27,500 $1,016,029
Case Keenum QB Houston Texans 2 years, $6.25 million $4 million $2.85 million
Tommy Sweeney TE New York Giants 1 year, $1.08 million $940,000 $940,000
Jaquan Johnson S Las Vegas Raiders 1 year, $1.2325 million $431,500 $1.0925 million
Justin Murray OT Las Vegas Raiders 1 year, $1.08 million $943,000 $943,000
Greg Van Roten OG Las Vegas Raiders 1 year, $1.60 million $907,500 $1.60 million

The Bills like any NFL team, underwent their fair share of significant roster changes – especially losing Tremaine Edmunds. The departure of Devin Singletary is a notable transition. Despite not possessing particularly exceptional attributes, Singletary was a reliable ABC football player who often delivered in critical moments. The hope is that Buffalo will retain possession of the football more reliably after addressing Singletary’s significant fumble concerns.

Jamison Crowder‘s name appears to have slipped the minds of many, largely due to his extended absence due to injury last season with a fractured ankle. Crowder was intended to serve fill the gap left by Cole Beasley, but his premature departure and inability to return to action thwarted what had the potential to be a successful solution.

Bringing in Case Keenum on a one-year contract was a move aimed at providing backup support to franchise quarterback Josh Allen. This strategy has become a recurring theme at One Bills Drive in recent years. Keenum made two rather unmemorable cameo appearances during lopsided victories.

Tommy Sweeney and Jaquan Johnson were originally selected by the Bills in the draft, yet neither managed to surpass those positioned ahead of them on the depth chart. Meanwhile, Greg Van Roten and Justin Murray departed, as Buffalo looked to enhance the depth and competition along the offensive line.

Buffalo Bills’ Roster Additions for 2023 from 2023 NFL Draft
Draft Round Pick # Player
1 25 Dalton Kincaid, TE (Utah)
2 59 O’Cyrus Torrence, G (Florida)
3 91 Dorian Williams, LB (Tulane)
5 150 (from Commanders) Justin Shorter, WR (Florida)
7 230 (from Texans) Nick Broeker, G (Mississippi)
7 252 (from Rams) Alex Austin, CB (Oregon State)

In the upcoming 2023/24 NFL season, the Bills will welcome eleven seasoned NFL players who are embarking on their first journey with the team. Within this contingent, there are nine football players poised to contribute to the offensive aspect of the game.

Buffalo put forth a dedicated effort to enhance the caliber of its offensive line performance, introducing four fresh faces into the roster for 2023.

Among the initial acquisitions made by the Bills during the offseason were offensive guards Connor McGovern and David Edwards. Additionally, offensive tackle Brandon Shell was enlisted later, subsequent to the NFL Draft, and is anticipated to inject spirited competition, if not a potential upgrade, at the right tackle position.

A focal point was also placed on amplifying the effectiveness of receivers, signified by the signings of Deonte Harty and Trent Sherfield. Furthermore, the team sought to address possible gaps in last season’s rushing game by securing two players. The arrivals of defensive tackle Poona Ford and safety Taylor Rapp were met with acclaim, as both individuals have the chance to establish enduring roles beyond the 2023 season with Buffalo.
