Buffalo Bills Linked With $70 Million Weapon To Help.....

Even with a slow start, the Buffalo Bills ended their previous run on top of their respective division. But for the Josh Allen-led team to go further, guys like Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley should be targeted in this year’s free agency.

With Allen leading the charge, the Bills finished the regular season with an 11-6 record to get the AFC East’s top spot. That momentum carried onto the playoffs, thanks to an offense and defense ranked in the top six among the 32 teams in the league.

In the wild card round, the Bills faced off against the Pittsburgh Steelers and downright dismantled them with a score of 31-17. In the next round, though, they were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs, who then went on to win Super Bowl LVIII.

For Josh Allen to finally win the big one, Buffalo needs to surround him with the right guys. Fortunately, the front office may have several options to consider, especially when it comes to wide receivers.

Why Signing Calvin Ridley To Help Josh Allen Is The Right Move For Buffalo Bills

Among the guys Buffalo needs to consider pairing with Josh Allen is the Jaguars’ Calvin Ridley, whose next contract is projected to be $80 million. Aaron Schatz gave his explanation in an article for ESPN:

“My original suggestion was going to be Tee Higgins before the Bengals decided to give him the franchise tag. But the basic idea remains: The best way for the Bills to upgrade is to get the best receiver they can to play next to Stefon Diggs and Khalil Shakir next season.

Somebody more consistent than Gabe Davis would be a huge help. Ridley led the Jaguars in total receiving value (DYAR) upon his return to the NFL last season after missing 2022 with a suspension. He put up 1,016 yards and snagged eight touchdown passes,” Schatz wrote.

Ridley certainly adds another dimension to the Bills’ offense, especially if he can pair well with Allen. In the event he does, expect Buffalo to put up a good fight against other contending teams in the NFL.
