With added emphasis on player safety, the league is phasing out the play that once made Buffalo Bills cornerback Terrance McGee such a lethal weapon. Even though returns are harder to break for long gains and are happening less frequently, teams can still gain considerable field-position advantage with a solid return game.In today’s edition of “90 players in 90 days,” we celebrate being one-third of the way through the Bills’ roster with a player expected to contribute almost solely on the “special” third of the game.Name: Andre RobertsNumber: 8Position: WRHeight/Weight: 5’11” 195 lbs. Age: 31Experience/Draft: 10; selected in the third round (88 overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals College: The CitadelAcquired: Signed with Buffalo on 3/13/19Financial situation (per Spotrac): The Bills inked Roberts to a front-loaded two-year contract this spring, one that totals $4.6 million with $3 million guaranteed. In 2019, Roberts will count $2.6 million against Buffalo’s salary cap.2018 Recap: Roberts had a phenomenal year returning kicks for the New York Jets last season. He was selected as the AFC Pro Bowl return man in a season where he led the NFL in average yards per punt return (14.1), punt return touchdowns (1), total kickoff returns (40), total kickoff return yards (1 White Tre’Davious White Jersey ,174), and kickoff return touchdowns (1). He was second among all qualifiers in average yards per kickoff return with 29.4 yards per attempt. As a receiver, Roberts only appeared on 195 offensive snaps, 19% of the Jets’ season total. He caught ten passes for 79 yards and one touchdown on 17 targets. Positional outlook: Roberts is the only return specialist on the roster, though he’s far from the only player with experience returning kicks. Running back Marcus Murphy has also had success as a return man, though not as much as Roberts had last season. Among the receivers, Roberts will need to beat out players like Ray-Ray McCloud III, Victor Bolden Jr., and Isaiah McKenzie for the return job, something that he should easily do. The other wideouts currently on Buffalo’s roster are Robert Foster, Zay Jones Tre’Davious White Jersey 2019 , Cole Beasley, John Brown, Da’Mari Scott, Cam Phillips, David Sills V, Nick Easley, and Duke Williams. 2019 Offseason: Roberts has taken part in offseason activities to date. 2019 Season outlook: Given the fact that Roberts was a Pro Bowl return man last year, it seems fairly obvious that he will be Buffalo’s primary returner this year. Considering that the Bills would be on the hook for $3 million if they were to cut him, it seems logical that Roberts will be on the roster this year. His is one of the more solid roles on the team as we head into the regular season.
