Bills expected to release wide receiver Tyrell Shavers ahead of 2026 season

Summary

The Buffalo Bills are projected to cut wide receiver Tyrell Shavers as they finalize their roster to 53 players. Shavers, who caught 15 passes for 245 yards and one touchdown in the 2025 season, has struggled to gain recognition, often overshadowed by teammates like Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman. As reported by ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg, the Bills are set to retain six wide receivers, including DJ Moore and Josh Palmer, leaving Shavers likely without a spot. The decision reflects the organization's shift towards younger talent, considering Shavers’ limited production and competition from newer players.
