Bills Urged To Sign Myles Alternative in Mack

The Buffalo Bills' offseason plans have centered around getting Josh Allen a No. 1 weapon to ease the workload on Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Curtis Samuel.

But the defensive side of the ball can't be forgotten either, and offensive lineman Dion Dawkins has made a public plea for the Bills to go after Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett who requested a trade.

However, the draft capital and the contract Garrett has are big things for the Bills to swallow.

But what if there was a nice alternative? A free agent who has the pedigree, is a little older but still commands attention? For CBS Sports, that player is Khalil Mack.

"The Bills currently don't have a lot of wiggle room from a cap perspective as they are roughly $8.6 million over the cap," CBS Sports writes. "Even when they get their books in order, they might not be able to go big-game hunting in free agency. However, that may not preclude them from bringing in a notable name like Khalil Mack. 

"The 34-year-old pass rusher isn't at the peak of his powers at this stage of his career, but he's still more than capable of making an impact off the edge. ... Mack also has ties to the area after playing his college ball at the University of Buffalo, so this could be a homecoming of sorts as he links up with a Super Bowl contender."
