The Buffalo Bills allocated more salary cap dollars to the defensive line than any other team in 2020. The team’s defensive linemen accounted for $51.3 million against the 2020 salary cap—nearly $3 million more than the next closest team, the Indianapolis Colts.
To combat the rising cost at the position and inject new life, the Bills have heavily invested draft capital at the position over the last two years, using their top pick in 2020 and their top two picks in 2021 to add pass rushers.
With the turnover, the position is going to look very different in 2021 and completely different by 2022.
