Buffalo Bills: 4 cornerbacks to target in free agency this offseason
These are four free agent cornerbacks the Buffalo Bills could target this offseason to pair with Tre’Davious White.
The Buffalo Bills have had one of the top pass defenses in the NFL the past few seasons, finishing first in passing yards allowed in 2018 and fourth in passing yards allowed this past year.
The reason the Bills have been so successful is due to one of the best safety duos in the league, with Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer, and Tre’Davious White as their top cornerback. The other starting cornerback position has been somewhat of a question mark.
Two years ago, the Bills started the year with Vontae Davis, who is now widely remembered as the player to retire at halftime. He was replaced by Levi Wallace, an undrafted rookie out of the University of Alabama, and he showed potential down the stretch.
Then this past year, the Bills continued to have Wallace as their starting cornerback but Kevin Johnson began to cut into some of his playing time as the season went on.
GM Brandon Beane and the front office will have plenty of questions to answer this offseason at that position. The first being if they want to bring back Levi Wallace, who is an exclusive rights free agent, and Kevin Johnson, who is an unrestricted free agent.
While the Bills could move forward with what they had last year, they also have an opportunity to upgrade the position with a long term answer at the position. While it would likely be costly, these are four cornerbacks that the Bills could target that would be an upgrade from last year.
