Who Will Be The 2024 Terrel Bernard?

Talking Buffalo

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over a bunch of Buffalo Bills candidates that could potentially be the next Terrel Bernard, a guy not talked about much and/or isn't expected to do a lot that could blossom into an important part of the 2024 Bills team.

Around this time last year Bernard was mostly a Bills afterthought after the team let Tremaine Edmunds walk earlier in free agency. While Bernard was set to take on Tyrel Dodson for a starting job, it was probably thought by most the team would ultimately look outside to find it's starting middle linebacker. Bernard would win the job and within just a few games it became apparent that he's not only a good player, but a difference maker in the Buffalo defense. Bernard went on to have an outstanding first year as a Buffalo starter and has himself positioned as a critical part of the team going forward.

Who may be this year's version of Bernard based on the criteria of contributing way more than most expect? Patrick goes over several candidates that he's been thinking about as well as many fans, a list that includes Mike Edwards, MVS, Taylor Rapp, Kaiir Elam and fight-round rookie Javon Solomon.

There's also some players that could easily be on the list that Patrick thinks already have enough pedigree that being a solid contributor or more is expected, with those names including AJ Epenesa, Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel. That and plenty more today.
