Eight Veterans on the Bills' Roster Bubble
Dozens of difficult decisions loom for the Buffalo Bills coaching staff as the team has assembled its finest roster of the NFL salary cap era.
They will have to balance youth with experience, judge short- and long-term cost effectiveness and determine which players fit best while figuring out a way to pay them — all while operating at the uppermost limit of the cap.
Because of this, the team will not be able to keep all of its valued veterans if it can find younger players, usually rookies, who can do the same job cheaper and with cost-controlled contracts.
Here is a look at eight veterans who are less than locks to make the team again this year — and why they might not survive training camp.
RB Zack Moss
RB Taiwan Jones
LB Tyler Matakevich
DE A.J. Epenesa
OL Cody Ford
