Bills Create Roster Room Ahead of NFL Draft

As the Buffalo Bills prepare for next week's NFL Draft, they're making roster moves to clear up space for summer activities.

On Thursday, the Bills announced a couple of moves to the team's 90-man roster ahead of next week's selection show.

Defensive tackle Branson Deen and tight end Armani Rogers were both released. Rogers' release was designated with a non-football injury.

Deen spent just a portion of the season with the Bills while appearing in just one game. The 25-year-old played just nine defensive snaps while contributing six on special teams in Buffalo's Week 5 contest against the Texans.

Rogers signed a futures contract with the Bills last season after splitting time with the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons, but has not played a game since 2022. 

The 27-year-old saw action in 11 games in three starts for Washington that season. Rogers has totaled five catches for 64 career yards with two carries for 26 yards.

Buffalo went 13-4 last season and went on to the postseason to beat the Denver Broncos 31-7 in the Wild Card round and the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 in the Divisional round before losing to the Kansas City Chiefs 32-29 in the AFC Championship game.

It's the fourth time in five seasons the Bills have been eliminated by the Chiefs in the postseason.
