Joe Marino· Aug 28, 2026

Joe Marino gives his final projection of the Buffalo Bills' initial 53-man roster after the preseason finale, naming who makes it, who gets cut, and who lands on injured reserve/PUP, along with several starting-job calls (Kyle Allen as QB2, TJ Sanders starting over Landon Jackson, Maxwell Hairston starting opposite Christian Benford, and Tommy Doman winning the punting job).

“Probably the most difficult final 53 man roster projection that I've done as host of this podcast.”

91 checkable claims — 85 roster spot calls and 6 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 86 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

52 of 91 have settled so far, averaging 90.4 out of 100, against 80.8 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.
