Looking ahead to Bills’ pending 2022 free agents
The Buffalo Bills just completed the 2021 NFL draft and right before that was the opening of free agency. While that current window of signing players is still open, the real excitement of the market won’t happen again until next offseason.
Naturally that means the Bills might have some players they’d like to re-sign before they get to that point because they’ll be free agents themselves. Over the past few months, the Bills did a good job of retaining such players like Matt Milano.
With that, here’s a quick rundown of Buffalo’s 33 upcoming free agents next offseason, according to Spotrac:
