Bills' Defense in Crisis: Talent Gap Exposed

0:00On April 6th, back in September, I brought down the Buffalo Bills defense after a shaky 3-game start, saying it just didn't have the talent of their best Sean McDermott years. Fast forward to now, with the season wrapped in free agency rolling, and it turns out I was spot on, maybe even more than I knew. A bunch of key defenders from that 2025 unit are still sitting on the market without deals. Cornerback, Trey Davies White, logged 71% of snaps at his spot, Ed rusher AJ. Epinisa hit 45% and Joey Bosa was at 57%. Then you've got Doc Juan Jones at 43% on the line, linebackers Matt Milano and Shaq Thompson around, 50% and 42% safety. Jordan Poir at 44% plus roll guys like Larry Oganjoby and Jordan Phillips in the low 20s. Fans and analysts are scratching their heads because these guys combined for nearly 400% of the Bills defensive snaps over a third of the total workload. That's massive turnover heading into a

Epinisa had a $5 million pack with Cleveland, flagged in his physical, Bosa's injury history scared off San Francisco and even Terran Johnson only got traded for scraps after release rumors.

We'll see if the new defense clicks or if those roster calls come back to bite. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
