Here are a few other teams to watch:
Buffalo Bills: Except for the Patriots, who added former Bears Ted Washington and Rosevelt Colvin, the Bills did the best job this offseason of improving a front defensive seven. Putting Sam Adams next to Pat Williams makes the Bills a tough team to run against. Last year they ranked 29th, giving up 132.6 yards a game. Giving London Fletcher two outside linebackers as good as Takeo Spikes and Jeff Posey should improve the team's ability to make big stops and force turnovers. The problem facing the Bills is how much more they can improve. They jumped five games last year by bringing in Drew Bledsoe to run the offense. To get into the 9-11 win area, the Bills have to step over teams such as Miami and New England and improve their 2-4 division record. Defensively, the Bills should improve. Offensively, they won't be as explosive because they couldn't afford to fix the defense and keep wide receiver Peerless Price. They will have to make up the difference for Price with two possession receivers -- Bobby Shaw and Josh Reed.
