With news of new Buffalo Bills free agent signings coming in rapid-fire succession throughout the day on Monday and Tuesday, it’s been a great time to be a fan of the team. At the close of the 2018 NFL season, Bills fans realized that the team had major work to do if it wanted to compete in 2019. Bills fans also knew that the team, led by general manager Brandon Beane, had plenty of salary cap space with which to add players.
While there was cautious optimism throughout Bills’ fandom, we heard an awful lot of the same old refrains: Buffalo isn’t a destination city for free agents, so the team has to overpay players to come.
