The Buffalo Bills are shaking up their roster, signing center Sincere Haynesworth on Wednesday afternoon and letting go of rookie undrafted free agent receiver Mac Dalena. This move, announced by the team, has everyone wondering what’s really going on with that offensive line.
Who Is Sincere Haynesworth?
Haynesworth is a local guy, born in Buffalo back in 2001, though he hit high school out in Houston, Texas. He was a beast at Tulane University, playing center for five seasons and racking up over 3,900 snaps. The dude was decorated in college, no joke. But even with that pedigree, he went undrafted in 2024. Then you look at his pro day numbers: 6’0 1/2″ and exactly 300 pounds. In today’s NFL, that’s distinctly on the smaller side for a center. He also hasn’t appeared in any regular season games the past two seasons, bouncing around with the Saints, Patriots, and Cardinals. Most recently, he spent the spring with the St. Louis Battlehawks in the UFL, even playing in a Semifinal playoff game. This guy’s definitely been grinding.
A Preseason Shake-Up Ahead of the Wire
So, what does this actually mean? The team didn’t say, but it’s hard not to connect this move to the severity of Connor McGovern’s injury. The Bills needed a body, and they went out and got one, making a corresponding move by releasing Mac Dalena. This kid was an undrafted rookie, fighting for a spot, and now he’s out. Tough business, man. It’s likely nothing more than giving the offense another option for their final exhibition game of the summer.
With their last preseason game looming, Haynesworth is getting a shot to prove he belongs in the NFL, even if he’s seen as a long shot given his size and journey. We’ll be watching to see if this UFL standout can make an impression in Buffalo before the regular season kicks off!
