The Buffalo Bills made two roster moves before the NFL draft by releasing defensive tackle Branson Deen and waiving tight end Armani Rogers due to a non-football injury. Deen, aged 25, played one game for the Bills last season, participating in nine defensive snaps and six on special teams. He was signed to a futures contract by the team following the season. Rogers, aged 27, had signed a futures contract with the Bills after stints with the Commanders, Eagles, and Falcons in 2024. His last game was in 2022 with Washington, where he appeared in 11 games with three starts, recording seven touches for 90 yards in his career.
The decisions to part ways with Deen and Rogers were announced by the Bills ahead of the upcoming NFL draft. Deen's brief tenure with the team saw limited on-field action, while Rogers, with a more extensive NFL history, had not played since 2022. The moves reflect the team's roster adjustments as they prepare for the future, focusing on building a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
