Bills, Chiefs Navigate Free Agency with Mixed Success

The Buffalo Bills navigated a constrained salary cap during free agency by securing contract extensions for key players like quarterback Josh Allen and adding former Chargers stars Josh Palmer and Joey Bosa, despite concerns over Bosa's injury history. Sports Illustrated assigned the Bills a B- for their efforts, which included addressing both offensive and defensive needs, although the excitement was tempered by suspensions for Ogunjobi and Hoecht. In contrast, the Kansas City Chiefs had a mixed offseason, receiving grades ranging from a C to an A- across various analyses. They signed running back Elijah Mitchell to enhance their backfield and re-signed key players, while also facing significant departures, including the trade of guard Joe Thuney and the loss of other starters. The Chiefs' overall strategy aimed to rebound from their Super Bowl loss and maintain competitiveness in the league. Both teams are focused on bolstering their rosters to remain playoff contenders in the upcoming season.
