They finally made the big switch at head coach, firing Sean McDermott and promoting Joe Brady. They still haven’t reached a Super Bowl with Josh Allen at quarterback. Free agency, and the draft to follow, will be crucial.

There’s a problem, though. The Bills don’t have much cap space, if any, depending on how they restructure certain contracts.

They already got some business done before free agency, at least.
