Like all 32 NFL teams, the Buffalo Bills are constantly chasing after a Super Bowl. Though, of course, it’s a bit different for a Bills team that has made an appearance in the big game four times, but has yet to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
And, not all teams are truly in the hunt like the Bills are. After all, Buffalo has reached the playoffs each time in the past seven seasons. But this year is different.
It’s the first time since 2016 that they’ll be making a postseason push without Sean McDermott as head coach. Now it’s Joe Brady’s show, and newly-promoted team president Brandon Beane is helping lead the charge.
While the Bills have nearly been a lock to reach the postseason, once they get there, they’ve had a hard time getting over the hump and into the Super Bowl. Thus, more experienced players, especially those with previous playoff and/or Super Bowl experience, may be able to make a big impact in Buffalo.
That could be the line of thinking behind bringing in former Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Mike Danna in for a recent workout.
The 28-year-old has spent the entirety of his six-year career with the Chiefs after they selected him with the 177th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He’s started 49 of the 87 games he’s appeared in, compiling 194 tackles (25 TFL), 21.5 sacks, and six forced fumbles.
Danna has reached the postseason in five of his six NFL seasons, only missing out last year. If signed, he’d bring two Super Bowl rings to Buffalo, and a lot of playoff experience (16 games, 7 starts) too.
