Should the Buffalo Bills spend big at the defensive end in free agency?

The big question for the Buffalo Bills is should they sign a player to a big contract and can they even afford it. As noted, the Bills have limited cap space but could make a few moves just at the defensive end position with a contract extension for Hughes and cutting Mario Addison that opens up some space.

While these moves will help, it certainly wouldn’t be the only things they had to do so the addition of a big name at the position would impact other parts of the roster.

However, this is one of the critical positions they need to address and it may be worth it depending on who they can add. The Buffalo Bills have already been rumored to be interested in J.J. Watt and this is the type of move that can be the deciding factor on whether the Bills get past the Chiefs and reach a Super Bowl.

How the Bills answer this question not only has an impact on the defensive end position but really is the key question they must answer because it will dictate what other moves they can make.
