The Buffalo Bills need to upgrade their offense. After the team released veteran tight end Charles Clay, the Bills created another area in need of filling. That’s not to say that the Bills erred in releasing Clay—the move was both necessary and expected, as he had a career-worst season in 2018 and was set to count $9 million against the salary cap in 2019. Even if Clay were to have remained on the roster, the Bills would have been in the market for an upgrade.
Scouring the free agent market can be a scary thing, as most players allowed to test the market have some sort of warts that would make their current teams hesitant to re-sign them.
