With Super Bowl LX officially history, the Buffalo Bills have turned their focus to building a roster that can not only get the team back to the Super Bowl but finally claim the franchise’s first Super Bowl title.
It won’t be easy as Buffalo is currently tight against the salary cap (though there are moves the Bills can make to create roster space), but the pressure is on president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane to surround quarterback Josh Allen with the offensive weapons he needs, and to revamp a defense that is sure to look different under new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by exploring the biggest questions facing Beane and new head coach Joe Brady as the team embarks on a pivotal offseason.
Biggest questions facing the Bills this offseason
Linked below: Unlike in recent offseasons, this year, the Bills face uncertainty along their offensive line, which has proven to be one of the league’s best but is at risk of losing both center Connor McGovern and left guard David Edwards to free agency. What Brandon Beane does with Buffalo’s 22 unrestricted free agents and three restricted free agents—a group that includes defensive end A.J. Epenesa, linebackers Shaq Thompson and Matt Milano, defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, and cornerback Tre’Davious White — is one of the biggest issues the Bills must resolve this offseason.

Is this finally the offseason where Buffalo makes a splash and brings in a big-time wide receiver for Josh Allen? And what direction could the Bills go with their first-round selection (No. 26 overall)?
