NFL roster cuts 2021: Final 53-man roster, depth chart for the Bills

The Buffalo Bills have finally narrowed their roster down to 53. Every team has made some tough cuts today, and the Buffalo Bills are no exception. Notable preseason standouts like safety Josh Thomas and tight end Jacob Hollister will head to the waiver wire.

The Bills also made a roster move, trading Darryl Johnson to the Panthers for a sixth-round pick and creating space on their defensive depth chart. They will once again be chasing the AFC East crown.

Bills offense

The Buffalo Bills retained most of the pieces from their top 10 offense last season and will mimic that success this upcoming campaign. Josh Allen ranked #10 in the top 100 NFL players' list, with his go-to man, Stefon Diggs, coming in right behind Allen at #11. Cole Beasley also made the list at #96.

From No. 87 to No. 10 in just a year.

There's a reason @JoshAllenQB made one of the biggest leaps in this year's #NFLTop100. 📈

Gregory Rousseau has a 33% QB Pressure percentage during the 2021 preseason and that ranks first out of rookies....🔥

Will his contribution to the DL be what makes the #Bills a top 10 defense again?
