Buffalo Bills

If this was said a few years ago, a lot of you would be laughing hysterically. But the Buffalo Bills are no longer a joke in this league. They’ll be competing this weekend for the right to call themselves the AFC Conference champs and look built to compete for years to come.

This may be exactly the kind of team Richard Sherman is looking to join, as they will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with for the better half of a decade with quarterback Josh Allen at the helm.

Sherman would still be able to add his veteran voice to the locker room, but would probably operate as the team’s No. 2 cornerback at best, playing behind superstar corner, Tre’Davious White. Though, there would be a lot less pressure on Sherman to perform at an elite level, as he’d often cover opposing teams’ second or third receiving options.

His salary probably wouldn’t be out of this world, but he’d probably still be able to earn around $9 million a year for multiple years.

If the Bills win the Super Bowl, look for Sherman to try and hitch his wagon to this emerging star-studded East Coast team.
