Bills' Dawkins Reacts to Offseason Losses: 'Guys Have to Be Ready!'

Despite losing some impactful players in the offseason, the goal is still the same for the Buffalo Bills; win a Super Bowl.

The team did have to make some sacrifices in the offseason, parting ways with receiver Stefon Diggs, and safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. In a recent interview , starting left tackle Dion Dawkins spoke about the team's losses and how they're responding.

"There's a lot of guys that are not there. But this is the NFL," Dawkins said. "Guys come, guys go, guys have to be ready. I think, regardless of who is in those spots, we know that they're going to give it their all. You know 14 [Diggs], 21 [Poyer], 23 [Hyde], all those numbers might not have those same faces, but we're shooting for the stars."

Dawkins continued, discussing how he will continue to focus on winning while also supporting his past teammates on their new teams.

"Everybody is counting us out, which I'm cool with," said Dawkins. "We can fly underneath that radar and hit everybody with uppercuts. I'm perfectly fine with it, but I'm going to support those guys from a distance. It's definitely different, and I'm still adjusting to it."

Dawkins is entering his eighth season on the Bills after being selected by the team in the second-round of the 2017 draft. Dawkins is coming off of his third-straight Pro Bowl season in 2023.
