With general manager Marv Levy leading the front office and coach Dick Jauron having assembled a strong staff, the Buffalo Bills now have a solid foundation on which to build.
Now it’s up to owner Ralph Wilson to give Levy and Jauron the tools they need to succeed, to paraphrase John Rigas.
The Bills have an estimated $35 million of room under the league’s salary cap for next season. With defensive standouts Nate Clements and London Fletcher set to become unrestricted free agents, the excuse that the players are too costly simply won’t fly.
If the front office determines Clements and Fletcher simply aren’t worth the money being offered by other teams, Wilson needs to give Levy the ability to replace them.
Building through the draft should always be the No. 1 priority, but the Bills will have too many holes to not be a player in free agency.
