Buffalo Bills Cut Linebacker Tyrel Dodson

What Happened?

The Buffalo Bills have cut linebacker Tyrel Dodson, according to a team announcement. The move comes as the Bills look to finalize their roster ahead of the start of the regular season.

Dodson was signed by the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2021. He played in 16 games last season, primarily on special teams. However, he did not record any stats on defense.

The Bills have a number of talented linebackers on their roster, including Tremaine Edmunds, Matt Milano, and A.J. Klein. With those players ahead of him on the depth chart, it was unlikely that Dodson would see much playing time this season.

Bills Roster Moves

The Bills have made a number of roster moves in recent days, including:

• Signed wide receiver Cole Beasley
• Released wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins
• Waived long snapper Reid Ferguson
• Claimed linebacker Joe Schobert off waivers

The Bills are now at the 53-man roster limit. The team will continue to make roster moves as they prepare for the regular season.

Final Thoughts

The Bills' decision to cut Dodson was not a surprise. With a number of talented linebackers on the roster, it was unlikely that he would see much playing time this season.

The Bills will now turn their attention to preparing for their season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 11.
