The Buffalo Bills revamped their defensive line heading into the 2020 season, feeling that their pass rush needed help after a middle-of-the-pack showing in 2019. Buffalo did sign the two players who led their 2020 team in sacks as free agents prior to the season, which is a plus in terms of grading acquisitions. However, those players only managed five sacks apiece.
While sacks might not tell the whole story of an edge player’s effectiveness, it’s always nice to have a guy that the opposing team knows is a threat to blow up any play at any given time.
