Buffalo’s 32-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship featured three players getting dinged up: quarterback Josh Allen, cornerback Christian Benford, and wide receiver Amari Cooper.

The Bills may bring Amari Cooper back in free agency despite disappointing results after his trade deadline acquisitions.
While there's going to be plenty of time to discuss the moves that GM Brandon Beane should make and what areas of the roster desperately need to be addressed *cough*edge*cough*, there's also the matter of handing out extensions.
