DE Ziggy Ansah
Age: 30
Drafting AJ Epenesa might signal the end of Trent Murphy’s time with the Bills. If the team added Ziggy Ansah, that makes it a certainty. Currently Buffalo’s defensive end group also has Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison, Daryl Johnson and Quinton Jefferson, who may play more defensive tackle at the 3-tech spot, we’ll see.
Adding Ansah would provide the Bills with excellent depth at the position, but that’s a big question mark considering Ansah’s string of shoulder issues. In 2019, he struggled with injuries once again, contributing just 2.5 sacks in 11 games for the Seahawks. Prior to injury, he had 14.5 sacks and an All-Pro nod with the Lions in 2015. With the rotation the Bills run on their defensive line, perhaps playing less snaps could keep Ansah fresher. Plus, he’d be a relatively cheap option and the Bills expressed interest in him in the past.
