The Buffalo Bills fell short in the playoffs this year and hope to make a deeper run next season.
However, the franchise will have more than just the roster to pay attention to after the latest news regarding defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.
The Bills announced that Frazier is stepping down as the defensive coordinator as he’s taking a year off from coaching football. He aims to return to coaching in 2024.

So, it sounds like Buffalo will need to find a new defensive coordinator. He won’t be easy to replace, as Frazier’s defense was one of the best in the league these past few seasons.
Regardless, Bills Mafia is ecstatic with this news and is ready to jump through tables to celebrate.

The timing of Leslie Frazier stepping down is a bit odd. We hope he’s okay too.
I hope his health is okay. This won’t be an easy improvement like the majority believe

It’ll be interesting to see what the Bills do to replace Leslie Frazier. It won’t be easy, especially at this time of the offseason.
