What are the Bills' best & worst contracts currently?
Pro Football Focus has some good and bad news for two important parts of the Bills roster. At wide receiver, praise continued as it typically does. The football analytics outlet recently took an undertaking to name every NFL teams best and worst contracts currently. Wideout Stefon Diggs fell on the bright side of this debate. The pass rush, where the team has tried to improve this offseason, saw the downside, as the deal Mario Addison signed in Buffalo a year ago ranked as the Bills worst contract. First, heres the breakdown on Diggs:  The Bills have moved some money around to accommodate Diggs already. and surely extension talks have been broached, but until that deal is inked, he provides one of the best values in the NFL. Diggs 36 plays of 15 or more yards in 2020 ranked second among wide receivers, his 20 forced missed tackles ranked second and his 2.51 yards per route run ranked sixth. Hes a big play waiting to happen every time he steps on the field. Signing cornerback TreDavious White before Jalen Ramsey and Marlon Humphrey, and left tackle Dion Dawkins before Ronnie Stanley were both immediate wins for the team. The list doesnt end there, either. And on Addison:  The aforementioned Brandon Beane was the assistant general manager in Carolina before landing the top job in Buffalo, and hes certainly maintained his Rolodex from those days. While Beane hit a home run in bringing former Carolina Panthers tackle Daryl Williams back to Buffalo, the Mario Addison reunion hasnt been as successful. Addison agreed to revise his contract before the 2021 season, taking a $2 million pay cut after recording a 56.9 grade in 2020, his worst mark since 2014. Even still, with Addison bringing on a 2021 cap hit of over $8 million, Buffalos first two 2021 draft picks (edge defenders Gregory Rousseau and Carlos Basham) will likely be vulturing his snaps as the season progresses. Not only could Rousseau and Basham take snaps from Addison, theres AJ Epenesa to consider, too. Entering his second season, hes been praised by teammates throughout the offseason in terms of how much he has improved already. Like several others, Diggs also restructured his contract this offseason to give the Bills more cap space. In doing so, the team turned some of his salary into signing bonuses and in doing so, PFF is probably right. Such conversations to do that likely included talks on another extension for the NFLs best wide receiver in 2020. Currently 27, Diggs has several years of his prime still left to go. Hell want to cash in on that while Beane will want him to do so in Buffalo.
