After falling short once again to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship, the Buffalo Bills are left reeling and now must face another long offseason. It's all smiles in Kansas City, but Buffalo fans are stuck in doom and gloom.

The NFL waits for no one, so the Bills have already begun making changes to their roster and coaching staff. One coach left earlier this week and plenty more moves are expected in the coming weeks.

It's also the time of year for Buffalo to extend reserve/futures contracts to players from their practice squad. They offered contracts to several guys, though the Bills also elected to cut ties with six players immediately after the devastating loss. Once again, the Chiefs are crushing dreams.

The Bills signed seven players to reserve/futures contracts initially but have since signed an additional four. However, they let the contracts expire for six guys: DT Eli Ankou, C/G Will Clapp, S Kareem Jackson, DE Kingsley Jonathan, LB Tyreek Maddox-Williams, and DE Casey Toohill.

Additionally, standout veteran S Micah Hyde announced his retirement. None of those players were expected to play any kind of significant role with the team admittedly. It's common practice for NFL teams to release a handful of practice squad guys, and the Chiefs will likely do the same after the Super Bowl.

Because they're still playing though, Kansas City has time before the front office and coaching staff need to make those kinds of decisions. A critical offseason awaits the Chiefs with numerous key free agents like G Trey Smith and MLB Nick Bolton. This team will look different in 2025 but the group has one more game left together before those tough choices need to be made.

Kansas City is a 1.5-point favorite over the Philadelphia Eagles at FanDuel Sportsbook. The Bills will be stuck at home watching and hopefully, the Chiefs will give them something to be upset about.
