The Buffalo Bills relied heavily on their tight ends last season. Their top two tight ends both exceeded 40% of the team’s total snaps, and all three of their top players at the position played at least 25% of Buffalo’s overall snaps. While some of that snap share might have been due to injury, it’s […]

You know what’s going to happen, right? It’s 5:42 EDT on Tuesday, March 10. I’m writing a piece about how the writing was on the wall that the Bills wouldn’t make a big splash early in free agency.
