There seems to be a consensus on which positions the Buffalo Bills could upgrade this offseason but these are five free agent signings the Buffalo Bills could make that may be a surprise.

Entering this offseason, the Buffalo Bills have a few positions that are pretty obvious that would make sense for them to upgrade. The biggest need is likely at wide receiver in hopes of finding that top option in the passing game for Josh Allen. Whether the front office address this in free agency or the NFL Draft remains to be seen but wide receiver seems to be a top need for this team.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Bills could use a pass rusher to solidify the defensive end position with the potential departure of Shaq Lawson. This would leave veterans Jerry Hughes and Trent Murphy as the only ends on this roster with substantial experience.

While Brandon Beane and this front office will address these positions, there aren’t many major needs after those. The Bills have a balanced roster that includes youth and veteran experience almost across the board.

This could result in the Bills trying to upgrade at positions that appear to be set and result in some surprising free agent signings this offseason. These are five players that may not be on the radar now but could become targets for the Buffalo Bills in free agency.
