 Williams caught a pass from Allen in his final game with the Bills, a 42–17 victory over the Dolphins.The Bills freed up cap space after paying off the dead money for players from the Whaley era they had cut or traded.Prior to the season, numerous offensive players, such as receivers John Brown, Cole Beasley, and Andre Roberts, center Mitch Morse, running backs Frank Gore and T. J. Yeldon, and others were added in free agency, with general manager Brandon Beane dismissing the notion that "players don't want to play for Buffalo".
