AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills
Best signing: Mitch Morse, C, 2019
While Von Miller is without a doubt the Bills' flashiest free agent signing of the past five years -- and arguably beyond that -- playing in only 11 games leaves him out of this category. Instead, it'll go to the anchor of the Bills' offensive line, who was originally signed in 2019 and has been a consistent presence on the line since, even through injuries and the issues at the positions around him. Morse took a pay cut in 2021 but signed an extension last offseason and, most importantly, works well with quarterback Josh Allen and is one of the leaders in the locker room.
Worst signing: Star Lotulelei, DT, 2018
The Bills signed Lotulelei to a five-year, $50 million contract, but the high-priced deal didn't yield the production that Buffalo hoped. While Lotulelei had valuable moments, the team had to restructure his contract in 2020. He played only three seasons in Buffalo after opting out in 2020 because of concerns surrounding COVID-19 and was impacted by testing positive for COVID in 2021 before being released during the 2022 offseason. The defensive tackle finished his Buffalo career with five sacks, 53 tackles and a run stop win rate of 27.2%. -- Alaina Getzenberg
