The Buffalo Bills have one of the best safety tandems in the NFL. Since 2017, head coach Sean McDermott has been able to trust that the back end of his defense would be manned by solid safeties—a must in his zone-heavy scheme. The Bills have been able to limit explosive plays through the air as a result.
Buffalo’s two starting safeties are both under contract for the 2021 season and beyond, after they signed contract extensions in the last 18 months. The Bills lost some experienced depth this offseason, but have reloaded with some intriguing young depth behind the experienced starters.
