Taking a closer look at the Buffalo Bills’ linebacker position

The Buffalo Bills are switching from a 3-4 defense back to a 4-3, resulting in one less linebacker on the field for McDermott’s defense.

With that, there is expected to be intense competition between several linebackers for starting jobs and for roster spots. In addition, most of these players will be seen on special teams.

Linebackers currently on the roster

  • Lorenzo Alexander
  • Reggie Ragland
  • Preston Brown
  • Gerald Hodges
  • Ramon Humber
  • Tanner Vallejo
  • Matt Milano
  • Carl Bradford
  • Ian Seau

(Some players on the defensive line will rotate into an outside linebacker role, like Max Valles)

Lorenzo Alexander

Alexander decided to re-sign with the Bills and it was a huge get for the Bills.
