Over the past few years, the Buffalo Bills have continually been just a piece or two away from a Super Bowl. Josh Allen and company made it all the way to the AFC championship game last season before coming up short once again, this time to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Despite the heartbreaking loss, the Bills have been busy this offseason looking to finally get over the hump.
Among their biggest offseason moves were the signings of Joey Bosa, defensive end Michael Hoecht, wide receiver Joshua Palmer, and re-signing running back Ty Johnson. All of those moves are solid, but Buffalo could use more.

One of the biggest needs on the roster currently is help in the defensive secondary. Rasul Douglas is still a free agent and could be a candidate to be brought back. Or, the Bills could consider making a much bigger move.
Former NFL player and current analyst Ryan Clark has an idea that he thinks Buffalo should pursue. He thinks a major trade for Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey would be a great fit for the Bills.
"You look at a team that are gonna go into the season, or at least right now on their roster, with Dane Jackson and [Christian] Benford at the corner positions, and also at safety, Damar Hamlin and Taylor Rapp," Clark said. "Jalen Ramsey is an extremely versatile player. ... I look at his versaility, his length, his ability to play in all the positions in the secondary, and I believe he's a plug-and-play starter at so many spots for the Buffalo Bills."
He continued on, revealing that he thinks adding Ramsey could fix the main issue they lost to the Chiefs to end last season.
"And if you go back to the root of their problem in the AFC Championship, it wasn't that they got stopped on a two-point conversion on a tush push or stopped on a fourth-and-one on a tush push," he said. "It's the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs that clearly couldn't score on anybody, as we saw the next week, were able to put up 32 points. Jalen Ramsey becomes an immediate upgrade at so many positions in that secondary, and it is time for Josh Allen to get over the hump -- in order to do that, that defense needs to ball."
