Ludwig-USA TODAY SportsThe Buffalo Bills have overhauled their offensive line over the last few months, adding talent along the interior and exterior. Some of their newest additions are also versatile enough to play multiple positions, while others are potentially talented enough to force some of Buffalo’s returning linemen to other spots along the trenches.In our latest installment of “90 players in 90 days,” we profile one of Buffalo’s holdovers along the offensive line, a player plucked off the waiver wire who finds himself looking like an outsider in a new positional group.Name: Conor McDermottNumber: 68Position: OTHeight/Weight: 6’8” 305 lbs. Age: 26 (27 on 10/19/19)Experience/Draft: 3; drafted in the sixth round (211 overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft by the New England PatriotsCollege: UCLAAcquired: Claimed off waivers on 9/3/17Financial situation (per Spotrac): McDermott enters the third year of his four-year rookie contract signed with New England in 2017. That contract is worth a total of $2,535,018. All of his guarantees were paid out already http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-patrick-dimarco-jersey , so if Buffalo were to cut him, there would be zero dead cap charge as a result. If McDermott makes the squad this year, his cap hit will be $645,000.2018 Recap: McDermott played a grand total of 45 snaps last season over five games on the active roster. His snap split was nearly dead-even, as he played 22 snaps on offense and 23 snaps on special teams. The vast majority of those snaps came in Buffalo’s blowout victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. In that contest, McDermott played 18 snaps on offense and ten snaps on special teams.Positional outlook: While McDermott was on the 53-man roster last season, he was a healthy scratch for the majority of the year. Since the 2018 season ended, Buffalo has re-signed tackle Jeremiah Sirles, added tackles LaAdrian Waddle and Ty Nsehke via free agency Stephen Hauschka Jersey , and drafted tackle Cody Ford. They also signed undrafted free agents Blake Hance (released on 5/22) and Garrett McGhin. Incumbent starting left tackle Dion Dawkins, a former second-round draft choice, also returns. 2019 Offseason: Offseason activities (OTAs) began on May 20, and Chris Brown noted the starting offensive line and the second-string offensive line. McDermott was not a part of either grouping.2019 Season outlook: For McDermott, the outlook is grim. Unless someone ahead of him is injured or plays very poorly, and he remains healthy and plays very well, he will most likely be looking elsewhere for work this season. With the resources that general manager Brandon Beane poured into the offensive line this spring, it’s hard to imagine McDermott showing well enough to remain with the team. A lot of new faces at One Bills Drive."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections NewsNotesOpinionAnalysisDiscussionPodcastNFL DraftSalary CapNFL Free AgencyNotes2019 Buffalo Bills free agencyJosh Allen working on camaraderie with new Buffalo Bills’ playersNew,25commentsA lot of new faces at One Bills Drive.EDTShareTweetShareShareJosh Allen working on camaraderie with new Buffalo Bills’ playersBuffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been outgoing since entering the starting lineup Womens Jordan Poyer Jersey , trying to step up and become a leader for the team while also knowing his role as a rookie. Entering his first full offseason as the young quarterback of the Bills, he’s made it a point to reach out to the new additions to the team to help them feel welcome.“It doesn’t take a lot to do that. Just reaching out to someone, asking for the phone number, letting them know that I’m excited for them to be with us and be a part of this wonderful franchise and start trying to set that culture of where we want to be,” said Allen on Monday from the start of offseason workouts.Head coach Sean McDermott said Allen took it upon himself to reach out to the new players. McDermott, who spoke about this first part of offseason workout being about building camaraderie and “love” between players, was obviously pleased.“As a young leader on our football team, to me, it shows ownership http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-russell-bodine-jersey ,” said McDermott Monday. “It shows ownership and a lot of pride in what we are doing and his role on our football team. It’s a step in the right direction.”Reaching out wasn’t just a nice gesture, though. Allen knows the team needs to get on the same page and with more than a dozen new starters plus another group coming in next week’s NFL Draft class, the makeup of the team will be a lot different come training camp.“We’ve got a lot of work to do. A lot of different new minds trying to work with each other now, trying to build that camaraderie, especially using this time to develop that team chemistry,” said Allen. “There’s a lot of new guys trying to come into a new system. It’s not going to be perfect right away, and we don’t expect it to be perfect, but starting that communication now so we can get on the same page with everything.”Allen and his new center, Mitch Morse Phillip Gaines Jersey , worked on that fellowship this weekend, heading to Bar-Bill Tavern for some wings. “Mitch is a great dude/ I’ve spent some time being back here a little early. He was here a little early,” said Allen. “I took him to Bar-Bill [Tavern]. He’s not a big hot wing guy. He struggles with the hot sauce. Honey butter barbecue Cajun, he can do that all day, but hot is not his thing. I’ve been developing a relationship with him already. He’s a great guy.”
