Buffalo Bills 2013: DEFENSE!
The Bills defense in 2012 was vastly improved.
Mario Williams due $6.5 million in 2013. After a season where he had 10.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 37 tackles while playing injured, he will be a huge part of the team in 2013!
Shawne Merriman had 12 tackles, just 1 sack, and no forced fumbles in 2012. Going on 29 in May, the Bills might look to let him go as a free agent.
Marcell Dareus is due over $2 million in 2013. 26 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 2012 puts Dareus amoung the Bills best defenders in 2012. Look for him to continue his dominance in 2013.
Spencer Johnson had just 10 tackles and 2 sacks with one forced fumble in 2012. At the age of 31, he will likely not be retained. Jay Ross looks to compete for his job in 2013.
Kyle Williams is due just under $4 million in 2013. He had 27 tackles and 5 sacks in 2012. Alex Carrington had 2 sacks and 1 forced fumble to go with 12 tackles. Both will be back in 2013.
Mark Anderson is due $2.4 million while coming off a season with just 10 tackles and 1 sack. He needs to improve in 2013 for the Bills defense to be better.
Kyle Moore had 3 sacks and 24 tackles in 2012. As an impending free agent, the Bills must make him a priority on defense.
Bryan Scott had 47 tackles, 2 forced fumbles and 4 interceptions in 2013. This is one man the Bills have to retain.
Kelvin Sheppard had 56 tackles and two sacks in 2012.
Kirk Morrison had two, that's it, just two tackles in 2012. Give me a break, goodbye. As a backup, he will only return on a really cheap one-year deal.
Nigel Bradham had 37 tackles in 2012. He will return being paid $480,000 in 2013.
Chris White and Greg Lloyd should compete for a roster spot in camp.
Aaron Williams had 24 tackles in 2012. He is under contract for less than $1 million in 2013. He will be back if he is healthy.
Crezdon Butler had 3 tackles and 1 forced fumble. He is under contract in 2013.
Stephon Gillmore had 52 tackles, 1 interception, and 3 forced fumbles. He will start over Butler.
TJ Heath may be the odd man out.
Da'Norris Searcy and Ron Brooks will battle for the SS spot vacated by George Wilson.
Jairus Byrd will retain his FS spot and be re-signed, and Mana Silva will be on the bench.

Buffalo Bills 2013: Offensive Line
LT Cordy Glenn, a young phenom, will certainly return and provide some sense of stability to the Bills, while Thomas Welch is under a very-friendly $650,000 contract for 2013.
RT Sam Young, making $630,000, will likely retain his starting job in 2013.
LG Andy Levitre, known for his versatility, may be expendable, as Kraig Urbik, one of my favorite Bills, recently inked a 4-year, $15,000,000 extension, and Keith Williams, making $480,000 in 2013, should be a favorite to replace Center Eric Wood if he is not healthy.
Wood, under contract for $2,300,000 in 2013, is coming off a knee/MCL injury, but hopefully should be fine by August. If not, rookie David Snow ($480,000 due in 2013) is ready to go.

Bills 2013: Tight Ends
Scott Chandler (43 catches for 571 yards and six touchdowns in 2013) is due just over $3 million in 2013. While he certainly isn't the worst tight end out there, the Bills do need to consider giving Lee Smith (4/13 with 2 TDs) a chance at a starting role. Chandler should look to accept a backup role or be traded before the season.
Provided Chandler is traded, the Bills will look to the draft for a new TE.

Buffalo Bills 2012: Running Backs
The Bills running backs provided a boost to the offense during a down season for Fitz.
CJ Spiller (207 chances for 1,244 yards and 6 touchdowns) provided a good backup to Jackson in 2012, while Fred Jackson (115 chances for 437 yards and 3 touchdowns) was stellar before tearing his MCL in Week 14.
Tashard Choice (47 chances for 193 yards and one touchdown) was a huge disappointment in 2012. At the age of 28 (29 in November), he will almost certainly be let go as a free agent.
FB Corey McIntyre, also an impending free agent, and recently passed his 34th birthday, is a toss-up. With Dorin Dickerson, 10 years his junior, waiting in the wings, it may be time for him to go.

Buffalo Bills: Wide Receiver
The Buffalo Bills wide receivers were pretty good in 2012, despite a less-than-stellar year by Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Star, Number one receiver Stevie Johnson (79 receptions for 148 yards, 6 touchdowns and only one fumble), put up a stellar stat line after signing a major contract in 2011. Provided he stays healthy, he will be a force in Buffalo for many more years.
Ruvell Martin (4/6 for 41 yards) made a small impact in 2012. As an impending free agent, I do not think he will be retained.
Brad Smith (14 receptions for 152 yards and 2 touchdowns) looks to see his role increase in 2013. After signing a four-year contract in 2011, he needs to make a greater impact or risk being released.
Rookie T.J. Graham (31 receptions for 322 yards and 1 touchdown) is still under a good contract paying him less than $1,000,000 in 2013. Look for him to see an increased roll in 2013 under Marrone.
Marcus Easley had 3 kickoff returns for 75 yards in 2012, and Chris Hogan, the undrafter free agent from Monmouth are expected to add a breath of youth to the receiving corps.

Buffalo Bills: Free Agency 2013
I'm Back!
The 2012 Buffalo Bills were a gargantuan disappointment to say the least.
The Beginning starts with the Quarterbacks, a position which was a very disappointing in 2012 to say the least. Ryan Fitzpatrick (24 TDs; 16 INT for 3,400 yards) was a disappointment after signing a 6-year, $59 million extension. Backup Tavaris Jackson (30 yards 0 TDs and 0 INTs) recently re-signed to a 1-year, $4,500,000 contract, leaving Tyler Thigpen (3/5 for 30 yards) as the odd-man out in 2013.
