The superlative: Team most likely to have your friend who casually watches be shocked in Week 1 when their favorite player isn’t on the team anymore.In what amounts to a retooling season, the Bills don’t have any alternatives beyond those players breaking out. Most of their signings were the sorts of moves Houston GM Nick Caserio typically makes,This is a dangerous tier of quarterback to pay, and the Dolphins might take a step backward regardless of their choice. For now, Tagovailoa is set to play out his fifth-year option of $23.1 million, with more than $100 million guaranteed on a potential extension riding on what he does next.This isn’t the worst idea. Teams are often overconfident about their ability to land one player in a specific position, and so it’s sometimes better to try to draft multiple contributors at a position in the hope that competition or good fortune lands you starting-caliber talent.

Just don’t be surprised if they’re back in the market for a left tackle next offseason.
