Evaluating the Buffalo Bills’ 2025 roster: Defensive backfield

The Buffalo Bills’ secondary had a very good 2025 season, allowing just 2,668 passing yards (156.9 per game, first in NFL) and a stingy 5.8 yards per attempt (fourth-lowest), while ranking 12th in EPA per play allowed (-0.043) and sixth in coverage success rate (58.2%). A look at advanced metrics reinforces an elite pass coverage […]

Buffalo Bills’ 2026 NFL Draft needs post-free agency

The Buffalo Bills made a majority of their “splash” moves before the 2026 NFL free-agency period opened last Monday highlighted by the trade to acquire wide receiver DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears. That shipped one of the team’s premium picks away. Moore is slated to make upwards of $25 million per season over at […]

NCAA Buffalo 2026: Men’s basketball tournament things to do

Buffalo is hosting NCAA basketball teams and their fans from all over the country this week. Yeah, Tuesday was a crappy weather day, but the rest of the week should be good enough for them to get out and see the city. I’ve been answering fan questions over on the SB Nation March Madness Feed […]

Bills news: Assessing Buffalo’s roster needs after the first wave of free agency

The first wave of NFL free agency has come and gone.

Gardner-Johnson and […]

Week 1 of 2026 NFL season kicks off on Wednesday, September 9

It’s begun to feel as though the NFL endeavors to spider out endlessly in an effort to consume every day possible during the fall and early winter. Great, more football! Right? Well, yes… but also maybe no. There are plenty of discussions to be had about player rest and what adding days of the week […]

Buffalo Bills’ free-agent additions don’t rule out safety in 2026 NFL Draft

After the first few days of NFL free agency (which honestly really began on Monday, March 11 at noon ET, “tampering period” be damned), the Buffalo Bills hadn’t yet addressed the safety position. Buffalo had already re-signed center Connor McGovern to a four-year, $52 million contract and traded for wide receiver DJ Moore (formerly) from […]

Buffalo Bills restructure DJ Moore contract, slash 2026 cap hit

The Buffalo Bills did exactly what most expected once DJ Moore officially landed in Buffalo: they immediately reworked the wide receiver’s contract to create major 2026 salary cap relief. Moore originally carried a $24.5 million cap charge for 2026, and because the full base salary amount was already fully guaranteed, Buffalo had little reason not […]

Bills film analysis: Is there a good plan for C.J. Gardner-Johnson?

The Buffalo Bills are looking to bolster their defensive backfield and part of that plan was signing C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Below are my thoughts after reviewing some game film, but I have one appetizer thought up here. Have you ever done any resume scouring when looking to hire someone? One thing that’s conventionally been considered a […]

State of the Buffalo Bills roster: quarterbacks

The Buffalo Bills have one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks. They also had a top-tier backup quarterback last season. With salary cap space at a premium, it’s unlikely that the Bills can truly afford to maintain their pattern of keeping a solid veteran behind Allen. In truth, Allen is entering the stage of his career […]

Josh Allen 1 of 3 NFL QBs drafted in 2010s still playing for original team

Most NFL general managers have two well-understood career goals. The first is to obviously bring home a Lombardi trophy for the team and its fan base. The other goal is to find the ever-elusive franchise quarterback who brings stability to a football team for at least a decade, in a perfect world. Yet, as Buffalo […]

Bills news: Dissecting latest mock drafts after first week of free agency

The Buffalo Bills shored up some of their roster needs during the first week of free agency, bringing in edge rusher Bradley Chubb, cornerback Dee Alford, and safeties C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Geno Stone. Those moves, along with the addition of veteran wide receiver DJ Moore and the re-signing of center Connor McGovern, will impact how […]

State of the Buffalo Bills roster: specialists

The Buffalo Bills thought they were set at kicker heading into last season. Then, their incumbent kicker suffered an injury over the summer. The Bills signed a veteran kicker on a whim, and he was absolutely fantastic throughout the season, kicking a game-winner in his first appearance with the club before nailing a game-tying field […]

Geno Stone signing with Buffalo Bills on 1-year deal

NFL free agency has been helpful to the Buffalo Bills’ roster-building endeavor under new head coach Joe Brady and new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard. Hoping to refine a group that became an eventual strength last season, Buffalo is reportedly signing free-agent safety Geno Stone to a one-year contract, per a report by Jordan Schultz. Stone […]

Mitch Wishnowsky returning to punt for Buffalo Bills in 2026

The Buffalo Bills have their punter for the 2026 NFL season, bringing back Mitch Wishnowsky on a one-year contract, per a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The now-34-year-old Wishnowsky spent the majority of the 2025 season as Buffalo’s punter, providing a stabilizing force to a room that saw roster turnover thanks to performance and injury […]

Film analysis of new Buffalo Bills DE Bradley Chubb

The Buffalo Bills are starting to reshape the defense with a pretty significant signing from their southern rivals, the Miami Dolphins. Defensive end Bradley Chubb, who knocked quarterback Josh Allen down a few times last season, is coming to Buffalo. Not considered one of the premier names at the position by most despite being a […]

Contract details for Buffalo Bills C Connor McGovern’s new 4-year deal

Getting a deal done for Buffalo Bills starting center Connor McGovern before his free-agency window opened looks even better now when you step back and look at the structure. The Bills re-signed McGovern to a new four-year, $52 million contract that includes $26.2 million guaranteed at signing, with another $5.24 million set to vest next […]

Contract details for Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox’s reworked deal

The Buffalo Bills reached an agreement with Dawson Knox this past Tuesday. The team reworked his contract instead of moving on from the tight end. Knox is one of quarterback Josh Allen’s longest tenured offensive weapons. He had been set to count roughly $17 million against the 2026 salary cap, a number that immediately made […]

Buffalo Bills announce jersey number updates for 2026 season

It’s that time of year when new Buffalo Bills players choose their jersey numbers, while others switch to a different number. Here’s a look at what the new players will be rocking come September. While he isn’t technically “new” like the others, backup quarterback Kyle Allen will wear No. 11 after wearing No. 9 during […]

State of the Buffalo Bills roster: tight ends

The Buffalo Bills relied heavily on their tight ends last season. Their top two tight ends both exceeded 40% of the team’s total snaps, and all three of their top players at the position played at least 25% of Buffalo’s overall snaps. While some of that snap share might have been due to injury, it’s […]
