The Athletic is asking the same Buffalo Bills question
‘”It’s now-ish or never for the Bills with quarterback Josh Allen in his prime,” Rodrigue writes. “They addressed receiver with a trade for DJ Moore and signed pass rusher Bradley Chubb, but as the first wave of free agency settled, I found myself asking the same question I have for the last couple of offseasons: Have the Bills actually done enough?

We’re still on track to do that. Substantial completion is obviously a little bit different than complete, so we’ll be ready to start hosting football games in August.”’
Bills sign safety Geno Stone to one-year deal | ‘They’re going to use me to my strengths’
‘”They’re going to use me to my strengths, and that’s the main thing I want to do at this point in my career is playing to my strengths and limiting my weaknesses,” Stone said. “That’s why they brought me in: to go get the ball.
