What positions are most important for Bills in free agency? Here’s our list
‘Levi Wallace is an unrestricted free agent, and he might have priced himself out of Buffalo after a solid season. Standout cornerback Tre’Davious White is still recovering from tearing his ACL on Thanksgiving in New Orleans. Though the Bills held up better than expected in White’s absence, if he’s not ready to start the season, as expected, and if Wallace is gone, they need to find players to step in immediately.’
Buffalo Bills release linebacker A.J. Klein to begin creating salary cap space
‘By releasing Klein, the Bills are almost back to even as it saves them $5.1 million with a paltry dead cap hit of $400,000. That’s why this move was perhaps the most obvious one the team was going to make before the start of free agency next week.’
Buffalo Bills may add a deep threat in first round. Could this Ohio State WR be the guy?
‘The consensus among draft evaluators is that Wilson will go first, probably in the top 15, while Olave was initially projected to last until the bottom third of the round, meaning the Buffalo Bills at No. 25 may have had a shot if they desire.’
Bills release LB A.J. Klein: What does that mean for Buffalo’s salary cap?

Bills GM Brandon Beane says Buffalo has not started contract extension talks with Stefon Diggs yet
‘”We’ll look at everything,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said on WGR 500 Tuesday. “Definitely guys that have higher cap numbers like that you look at everything, whether it’s restructuring it, adding years. We’ll look at everything. You can definitely know we will look at Stef’s contract at some point and see if there is something that makes sense for both sides. But we haven’t begun any conversations with him at this point.”‘
Bills clear cap space by releasing linebacker A.J. Klein

‘Beane mentioned on Monday the Bills are a little more than $6 million over the cap, and will need to be under the salary cap by March 16 at 4 p.m. EST.’
Opinion: Bills making a big splash move?
‘To me this comes down to three positions: wide receiver, tight end and edge defender. I’d like to see the move come at wide receiver but I don’t think the Bills would be willing to hand out a second big contract at that position. Stefon Diggs is way under market value when you look at the two years left on his contract. His average annual salary is $14.4 million. What would be market value for Diggs? Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill just got an extension that is worth an average of $21 million a year.’
