In between their last preseason game and the NFL's August 26 roster cutdown deadline, the Buffalo Bills purged 35 players to meet the 53-man maximum.
Fifteen of the 35 released players currently hold spots on the Bills' practice squad. Cornerback Daequan Hardy, a 2024 sixth-round draft pick, initially signed a P-squad contract, but was subsequently released to make room for an outside addition.
After signing defensive end Andre Jones Jr. and cornerback Jalen Kimberon Thursday, Buffalo has a full practice squad, including a 17th member thanks to the exemeption for offensive tackle Travis Clayton's NFL International Pathway status.
Tweny-five of the 35 released players were subjected to waivers, but all went unclaimed. It was the second year in a row that no Bills' cuts were claimed by another NFL team.
In two mildly suprising developments, neither tight end Zach Davidson nor wide receiver KJ Hamler re-joined the Bills via the practice squad after being released. Both men held P-squad roles in 2024. Other former Buffalo practice squad players OL Mike Edwards and OL Richard Gouraige are still available on the open market.
Vetrans quarterback Mike White and wide receiver Laviska Shenault remain free agents, but will likely generate interest in the coming weeks.
