Buffalo Bills Target Leo Chenal in Free Agency

0:00From NFL coverage, this is your March 3rd update. The Buffalo Bills face some gaps in their linebacker group heading into the offseason. They need to decide on resigning veterans like Matt Milano and Shaq Thompson, but expect them to chase free agents too. One top name floating around is Leo Chanel, the 25-year-old from the Kansas City Chiefs, who's wrapping up his rookie deal. The Bills are shifting to a 3-4 defensive setup under new coordinator Jim Lee in heart. Chanel stands out as a versatile option, who can play off the ball, rush the passer, and fit multiple spots. Experts see him as a strong match for this change. Analyst Joe Biscoglia called Chanel, the ideal target in a mock offseason plan, he predicts Buffalo offers a 3-year deal worth $24 million, with over $17 million guaranteed. That would make it their biggest free agent splash. Chanel knows Leonhard Well from their time at Wisconsin, with a linebacker earned Big 10 honors in 2021.

Dorian Williams, Terrell Bernard, and Joe Andreson. Adding someone like Chanel could really boost their defense as they build for next season. Dean in his sponsor by our partner.
