With Super Bowl LX officially history, the Buffalo Bills have turned their focus to building a roster that can not only get the team back to the Super Bowl but finally claim the franchise\u2019s first Super Bowl title.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be easy as Buffalo is currently tight against the salary cap (though there are moves the Bills can make to create roster space), but the pressure is on president of football operations\/general manager Brandon Beane to surround quarterback Josh Allen with the offensive weapons he needs, and to revamp a defense that is sure to look different under new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard.<\/p>\n
