Come to Buffalo and become the best version of yourself.

While the main selling point to come to Buffalo is going to be the chance to win a Super Bowl and play with one of the very best in the league in Josh Allen, it's also a place where many have revitalized their careers

Sean McDermott and the Bills' entire front office have completely changed how Buffalo is viewed and what type of player comes through the doors of One Bills Drive. It seems as though they have won over yet another impressive player.

Jeremy Fowler, ESPN Senior Reporter, broke the news that OT Brandon Shell plans to sign with the Buffalo Bills. Shell had previously played valuable starter reps for the Miami Dolphins last season and now could land with a division rival.

Shell's addition provides incredible depth at one of the most important positions in football. Shell has proven throughout his NFL career that he can come in, when needed, and excel. 

Shell was a fifth-round pick by the New York Jets in 2015 where he played until 2019. He then spent two years with Seattle before playing his lone season with Miami last year. The talented offensive tackle has started 72 out of a possible 83 games played.

This offseason, it has seemed, has been about protecting and equipping Josh Allen with the most amount of weapons to be successful. While the team used substantial draft capital to take Dalton Kincaid, Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott have done their due diligence to draft, sign, and bring in important pieces to the offensive line as well.

Bills Mafia knows all too well the issues plaguing the offensive line last season. While injuries were a concern, there just wasn't much success up front protecting their franchise quarterback. Far too many times Allen was forced to play hero ball. In order for the team to maintain success in the future, they need to better protect one of their most important assets.

While the pen hasn't hit paper yet, if the Bills are able to pull this off we have a feeling that Josh Allen will be over the moon with the signing.
