As for the NFL, the new league year is just two days away and it’s been a chaotic Monday around the league. Teams could begin negotiating with free agents, and at least up to this point, there have been more departures than additions for the Buffalo Bills.
According to multiple reports as of Monday evening, the team will lose starting left guard David Edwards, fullback Reggie Gilliam, and backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky.
The only addition up to this point is a three-year contract with defensive back Dee Alford. 7 News has confirmed the news first reported by NFL Network that the Bills are adding a new cornerback on a deal worth up to $21 million.
