Steven Nelson

The first player is one that I believe is a must sign for the Buffalo Bills and he is the missing piece for them to be a true Super Bowl contender. The cornerback position is one of the bigger question marks in the starting lineup even though they have two players who could earn the starting role in training camp, Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson.

However, if the Bills were to sign Steven Nelson there wouldn’t be much of a training camp battle as Nelson is the best of the three players. He would almost immediately become the starter opposite Tre’Davious White and solidify the secondary.

Nelson has started 68 games over his six-year career, including 46 the past three seasons. During that stretch, Nelson has seven interceptions, 32 passes defended, and 109 total tackles. Of the five players listed, this is one that in my opinion has the highest likelihood of happening.
