The Buffalo Bills came into 2020 free agency with a ton of cap space to throw around. While they have done a good job of spending so far, and also making the blockbuster trade for Stefon Diggs, the Bills still have roughly $32 million available to spend. With that in mind, let's take a look at a few players they can target with the remaining money.

1. Delanie Walker, Tight End

Dawson Knox showed flashes last season, but adding a veteran presence like Delanie Walker could do wonders for he and Josh Allen's development. Walker is a true do-it-all tight end with a ton of experience. He can help Knox realize his full potential, while also creating a dynamic TE duo that can both block and catch the ball effectively. And, perhaps, the best part is that Walker will most likely come cheap.

2. Devonta Freeman, Running Back

Now that Melvin Gordon is heading to Denver, Devonta Freeman is arguably now the best running back available on the free-agent market. Freeman could be a perfect complement to Devin Singletary in Buffalo's backfield as a ground-and-pound guy that fills Frank Gore's role from 2019. It doesn't seem like there is a huge market for running backs left in free agency, so Freeman could be had for a fair price if Buffalo wants to continue its running back-by-committee approach in 2020.

3. Greg Van Roten, Guard

The Bills need some upgrades on the interior offensive line and Van Roten is one of the better options still available. Bills' Guard Quinton Spain ranked 28th among the 39 qualifying left guards in Pro Football Focus' 2019 rankings. Van Roten, on the other hand, ranked 31st among all 130 linemen against the pass. With a young developing quarterback like Josh Allen, his protection should be top of mind, and for the price Van Roten can probably be signed for, he's proven to be a great option for doing just that.
