Unfortunate to lose Anderson but there’s no way the Pats were ponying up that much money for a player they likely valued as a DPR. I will say this for the Bills, I like what they’re doing. They’ve taken note of how teams like the Giants have beaten the Pats and they’re trying to follow that model of building up their defensive line with as many good pass rushers as they can pay.
It goes back to one of my favorite sayings “the road to the playoffs goes through the division”. If you’re not trying to build a roster to beat the team who has won the division 9 of the last 11 years what are you doing? I’m looking at you Jets.
The Patriots have lost defensive end Mark Anderson to the Bills, who signed the 28-year-old to a four-year deal and figure to use him as a pure pass-rusher. Anderson was able to parlay a big season with New England into a four-year deal with Buffalo worth $27.5 million, including $8 million guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
