The Buffalo Bills have lost a lot of key pieces this offseason.
For starters, they lost their top two wide receivers and their starting center in Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, and Mitch Morse to the AFC South.
Defensively, they decided to also cut ties with a bunch of significant veterans, including Pro Bowl safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde, Pro Bowl cornerback Tre’Davious White, and starting edge-rusher Leonard Floyd.
It is because of these moves that Fox Sports’s Chris Broussard believes the doubt around this team is warranted.
“From the moment they let Stefon Diggs go, I’ve been saying I don’t think they’re a Super Bowl contender anymore…They’re still a playoff contender,” Broussard recently said on First Things First.

With Josh Allen starting at quarterback, anything is possible for this team.
However, as Broussard noted, they lost a lot of key pieces this offseason.
It may be difficult to contend with the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and possibly the Houston Texans in the conference.
However, players like Allen, Pro Bowl running back James Cook, Pro Bowl tight end Dawson Knox, future Hall of Fame edge-rusher Von Miller, and All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano are all still in the fold.
This team made moves to bring veteran wide receivers such as Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Curtis Samuel, Chase Claypool, and Mack Hollins.
They also drafted second-round wide receiver Keon Coleman out of Florida State.
Buffalo might look a little different and feel like less of a Super Bowl team, but they can still be a postseason threat for sure.
