The longest-tenured member of the Buffalo Bills is the next player on our list. With the team continually reloading and trying to get right on the defensive line, the player landing at six on this list has consistently played well at the position—but has not been the type of top-flight pass rusher the team needed, especially in recent seasons. That’s why Jerry Hughes is next on our list, but also why they allowed the veteran to leave via free agency this offseason.
In the past when we’ve done our listing, we used cap hit to reflect value, but with the cap shenanigans employed by general manager Brandon Beane recently and the improvement of the databases, we’ve switched to yearly cash payments as our metric.
