Who?

 

Hopefully the guy who is a pleasant surprise next year when we have some vacancies. Hopefully. 

 

He will be like an unopened Christmas present you stumbled on, or finding a twenty in your pocket.

Buffalo will be getting Jackson and Hoecht back next season, but both will be question marks. With Jackson it is both a question of health (his history of multiple injuries) and his ability to transition to the pro game.  With Hoecht it is a question of the time it will take to rehab from a ruptured Achilles tendon.  Bosa and Epenesa will be free agents.  I'd love for Buffalo to re-sign Bosa, but that will depend on Bosa's asking price and cap management.  Epenesa is a useful roster member.  I'm guessing he'll want a healthy pay raise in his next contract.  I'm not sure how much of a pay raise his play deserves given Buffalo's tight cap.  Only Rousseau and Solomon are both healthy and under contract after the season.  Buffalo pretty much has to add a defensive end in the off season, whether via draft or free agency, if not more than one.  The problem is it will be just about impossible to ad one that is elite.  An elite player in free agency takes more money than Buffalo is likely to allocate to the position.  The upcoming draft doesn't seem to have a lot in the way of high end bendy and quick defensive ends.  There are more guys that play with power, but there aren't many Joey Bosas.  There are more like Jackson whose skillset may or may not translate, but they aren't going to be elite.
