The Buffalo Bills had a decent but unspectacular 2023/24 NFL season. The franchise made the playoffs but needed help to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round. As a result, their Super Bowl wait continues, and Josh Allen and Co. will have the same goal in the upcoming season.
Hence, it shouldn't be surprising that the Bills cut some players ahead of this year's free agency window. Some players were team leaders, while the others were rotational pieces. This article will examine the roster cuts and other important details in Buffalo. So, without further ado, let's get to it.

Buffalo Bills roster cuts ahead of 2024 NFL Free Agency
The NFL is on a break, but teams are busy figuring out their rosters for the 2024/25 NFL season. Here's a look at the Buffalo Bills' roster cuts ahead of 2024 free agency.
1. Jordan Poyer, Safety
The Buffalo Bills have released modern franchise icon Jordan Poyer. The Philadelphia Eagles initially drafted Poyer, but he became one of the league's best safeties when he joined the Bills in 2017. He earned Pro Bowl status during his stint in Buffalo but has unfortunately battled with injuries in the last few seasons. Poyer is a fan favorite in Buffalo and will be sorely missed by fans and teammates.
2. Tre’Davious White, Cornerback
Tre'Davious White has spent his entire career with the Bills. The Bills drafted White in the first round of the 2017 Draft. In Buffalo, White developed into a Pro Bowl-caliber player, and he'll be sorely missed by fans for his ball-hawking abilities.
3. Mitch Morse, Center
Morse has spent five seasons with the Bills. The Pro Bowler started 77 games for the AFC Conference powerhouse.
4. Siran Neal, Defensive back
Siran Neal was a reserve defensive back on the Bills. He featured in 17 games last season, and his release is a salary-cutting measure.
5. Deonte Harty, Wide receiver
Deonte Harty served as a punt return specialist in Buffalo. Harty's crowing moment was a 96-yard punt return for a touchdown in the Week 18 win over the Miami Dolphins. That punt return helped clinch the AFC East Conference.
6. Nyheim Hines, Running back
Last but not least is Nyheim Hines, a backup running back on the 2023 roster. Hines unfortunately missed the whole 2023 season following a knee injury during a skiing accident.
