Buffalo Bills: 3 former players who could return in 2020
Nigel Bradham
The last former Buffalo Bill who may find his way back to Buffalo is linebacker Nigel Bradham. He was a fourth round pick by the team in 2012 and left as a free agent after the 2015 season to join the Philadelphia Eagles.
He has spent the past four seasons with the team and in his first three he averaged 96 total tackles a season. This past season was derailed with injury but was still productive with 61 total tackles in 12 games. He also was a key part of their defense when they won the Super Bowl in 2017.
Similar to Cockrell, a lot has changed since the last time Bradham wore a Bills uniform but he is the perfect veteran piece to replace the retired Lorenzo Alexander. This defense is likely going to operate out of the nickel fairly frequently, which means Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano should see a majority of the work.
However, when Bradham is on the field he can be a hard hitting linebacker for this defense. He can also bring the experience of playing for, and winning a Super Bowl, which is a helpful voice to have in a locker room of younger players hoping to achieve a similar goal.

If there was one former Buffalo Bills player that could have the most impact, and seems like the best fit, it would have to be Nigel Bradham.
