The Buffalo Bills lost one of the NFL’s top middle linebackers via free agency this offseason when Tremaine Edmunds signed a huge contract with the Chicago Bears. Always a polarizing player in his time with the Bills, Edmunds was the quintessential “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” player, and the Bears clearly found him to be quite fetching.
Whether you were of the opinion that Edmunds was elite, overrated, or somewhere in between, the truth is that the Bills now have to replace a player around whom they’d built their defensive system for the better part of the last five seasons.
