The Bills are doing everything in their power to build a contender around Josh Allen.

After re-building the offensive line, Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott went out and got Allen his No. 1 wide receiver in former Vikings wideout Stefon Diggs. The Bills seem like a team poised to take over the AFC East and while Super Bowls aren’t won in March, they are certainly building a team that can contend for one.
