Sheldon Richardson

The next player on this list is someone that Buffalo Bills fans saw plenty of as Sheldon Richardson played his first four years in the NFL with the New York Jets from 2013 to 2016. He even earned a trip to the Pro Bowl in his second year in the league.

After one year stops with the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings, he has spent the past two seasons with the Cleveland Browns. However, he was released earlier this offseason and has yet to agree to a new deal with a team.

One of the reasons that I think Richardson could be a good fit for the Buffalo Bills is his durability. In his career, he has missed only seven games and over the past three seasons has played all 16 regular season games each year.

While he may not be that Pro Bowl caliber player he was in 2014, he would certainly improve the talent at the position. Sheldon Richardson is also someone who could push Star Lotulelei for that starting job.
