It seems that the Buffalo Bills have never valued the tight end position in the same way as other teams around the league. Sure, the Bills have had some very good ones at points in their history (Paul Costa comes to mind as the closest thing the team has had to an “elite” tight end, with Pete Metzelaars being the other true big-time performer), but especially in the modern era, the team has consistently failed to bring in game changers at the position.
That may be changing with the team’s current roster, as they added four new tight ends in 2019—two via the draft and two via free agency—in hopes of revamping that position.
