This Starter Won't Be Back With Bills in 2021

Any NFL team, even sudden AFC East favorites, will face a degree of roster turnover from year to year, which may upset some fans, as entrenched starters from prior years leave the team. Such is the situation in Buffalo, as they may have to let some starters walk so they can extend their most integral players.

All things considered, it seems like the writing may be on the wall for guard Jon Feliciano, as the Bills have six offensive linemen set to be free agents in 2020. The team has already given center Mitch Morse big money, and they will have to give integral left tackle Dion Dawkins a pricey extension as well.

Even though Felicano has given the Bills some solid play in 2019, starting all 16 games and posting a 64.4 PFF grade, Buffalo will undoubtedly want to go younger at the position, so they can offset the costs of a few pricey offensive line extensions.

Add this to the fact that former Raiders guard has had a PFF grade under 50 twice throughout his career, and the Bills may not trust the Miami product, especially when many plug and play starters are readily available in most draft classes.

Maybe Felicano will take the next step and become a star guard for the Bills, so the team is forced to keep him, but as of now, he may be the odd man out on Buffalo's offensive line.
