The Buffalo Bills continue to get better.
Veteran pass-rusher Leonard Floyd has reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with Buffalo, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

Floyd took some time to figure out his next destination after quite a successful tenure with the Los Angeles Rams.
The veteran OLB had at least nine sacks in each of his three seasons in Los Angeles, logging 29 to get a career total of 47.5.
With this, the Bills will pair Von Miller with another former Super Bowl winner, and that’s great news, especially considering Von might not be ready for the start of the season.
Miller and Floyd combined for six sacks in the playoffs in their run for Super Bowl LVI.
The Bills are looking to get better after another heartbreaking end to the season, this time at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals — the very same team Floyd and Miller dominated in the Super Bowl.
Their defense failed to dominate the Bengals’ depleted offensive line, logging just one sack and failing to put some pressure on Joe Burrow throughout the whole game.
And even though Miller wasn’t a part of the contest due to a major knee injury, it became evident that they needed to add a bit of an insurance policy next to their veteran star, and Floyd is one of the most durable players at the position.
The Bills have knocked on the door of Super Bowl contention for way too long already, so maybe they’ll finally get over the hump this time.
