Add offensive depth in free agency
In order to take the next step as an organization, Buffalo will need to improve its offense in the 2020 offseason.
The unit struggled throughout the majority of the 2019 season, effectively wasting a defense that allowed an average of just 16 points per game.
Though he showed promise, Josh Allen is still far from a perfect quarterback. The team lacks considerable depth at key offensive positions and, frankly, is need of firepower.
With that being said, don’t expect Buffalo to invest significant financial capital into its offense this season. As of now, there are not many top-tier offensive free agents available, with A.J. Green and Emmanuel Sanders perhaps serving as the top available players.
While the Bills could certainly use a veteran pass-catcher, neither Green nor Sanders would be particularly smart signings given their respective injury histories. Larry Fitzgerald is also set to become a free agent, and though he would be an on-field and culture fit in Buffalo, it’s safe to assume he’ll retire before he leaves Arizona.
The Bills’ current offense is a solid foundation that is in need of overall development. Allen and running back Devin Singletary will (likely) improve as their careers progress, and thus, the offense will improve, as well. Their receiving corps is well-rounded, and will likely build upon its 2019 numbers in its second year as a cohesive unit.
With that being said, Buffalo should still make additions to its offense in the offseason. A third-or-fourth receiver and a speedy running back to complement the ever-elusive Singletary would be solid offseason additions.
