Before free agency started in the NFL last Friday, not many Buffalo Bills fans or observers expected the team to be active in pursuing high-priced performers. However, the Bills jumped out of the proverbial gate before any of the league's other 31 franchises, inking backup offensive lineman Jason Whittle to a one-year contract just moments after 12 a.m. struck early Friday morning.
After, Buffalo was able to sign two more O-linemen, Derrick Dockery and Langston Walker, who are currently penned in as starters for next season.
The Bills' top men in charge -- owner Ralph Wilson, General Manager Marv Levy and head coach Dick Jauron -- truly deserve credit for their proactive approach during free agency thus far.
Wilson, who has gotten the reputation in recent years of being frugal, handed out a collective $75 million in contracts to his three new players. Dockery's seven-year, $49 million deal with $18 million in guarantees is the largest in team history, and Walker's five-year, $25 million accord is among the grandest the Bills have given out in recent memory.
