The Buffalo Bills’ offseason workout program begins on Tuesday, April 7, with the team also permitted to hold a voluntary veteran minicamp beginning April 20 through April 22 because Buffalo has a new head coach in Joe Brady, who follows in the footsteps of Sean McDermott.
The Bills’ Organized Team Activities (OTA) offseason workouts are scheduled for May 18 and 19, May 21, May 26 through 28, and June 1 through 4, before wrapping up the spring program with mandatory minicamp taking place June 9-11.
While attendance is voluntary early on, the tone and chemistry built during OTA workouts and minicamp can quietly shape a season. For Buffalo, it’s about establishing their identity under the direction of Joe Brady and new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, and setting expectations from day one.
The next stop after OTAs is St. John Fisher University in the Rochester, NY suburb of Pittsford for training camp, which begins in late July. This year will mark the 25th anniversary for Buffalo holding its training camp at Fisher. Time will tell how different, if at all, training camp is run without McDermott in charge.
