As reported by the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo on Wednesday afternoon, the Buffalo Bills will not be picking up the fifth-year option on defensive end Shaq Lawson. While this move does not come as a complete surprise, there was some speculation that the Bills may have chosen to pick up Lawson’s option. The team’s decision on Lawson, and the future of the position for the Bills is the focus of this edition of Breaking Buffalo Rumblings.
With Lawson and Jerry Hughes set to become free agents following the 2019 season, defensive end will remain an area of need for Brandon Beane and the Bills.
