Knowing that quarterback Josh Allen is coming off an MVP season, and knowing how close the Buffalo Bills came to making their first Super Bowl appearance since the 1993 season, this is a pivotal offseason for Bills general manager Brandon Beane in his quest to finally lead the Buffalo to a Super Bowl title.
