Damar Hamlin may not make Bills' roster ahead of training camp

Summary

Damar Hamlin's future with the Buffalo Bills is uncertain as the team prepares for training camp later this month. With a new head coach, Joe Brady, and a new defensive coordinator, Jim Leonhard, roster changes are anticipated. ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg projected Hamlin to be left off the final 53-man roster due to increased competition for safety positions. Despite signing a one-year contract worth $1.2 million, Hamlin will need to demonstrate his value as a defender and special teams contributor to secure a spot. The Bills are set to roll out a new defensive scheme under Leonhard, which may further impact Hamlin's prospects for making the team.
