Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: safety Cole Bishop

The Buffalo Bills are looking to forge a new defensive identity in the post-Sean McDermott era. While McDermott’s defenses were known to include multiple checks and relied on the ability of its players to know their individual assignments—doing their “one-eleventh”—the Bills’ defense in 2026 is looking to be more physical and more aggressive than its […]

Wide receiver Trent Sherfield making a case for Buffalo Bills roster spot

With all the hoopla surrounding the new stadium, I nearly forgot there’s a team taking shape before our very eyes! Preseason debates on the roster bubble can be fun, right? Wide receiver Trent Sherfield opens up a couple debates on the bubble matter. Not only does the usual talent component matter here, but with Sherfield […]

What Bills vs. Browns really tells us about Buffalo’s depth chart

Last week, I wrote an article that I will follow up on today. The premise of this article is that “when and with whom” a player plays in the preseason is more indicative of their overall roster placement than their actual performance and should be monitored for predictive purposes. I will copy the into concept […]

Buffalo Bills 53-man roster projection: After preseason victory over Browns

The Buffalo Bills smoked the Cleveland Browns 31-7 in the preseason opener, a dominant effort by Joe Brady’s team from start to finish. With only one preseason game left before the Bills head to Houston to embark on their 2026 regular season, why not project the 53-man roster again? Technically, we do have new information […]

Kyle Allen quiets his doubters against the Cleveland Browns

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: kicker Tyler Bass

The Buffalo Bills used multiple kickers last season thanks to a variety of injuries at the position.

Bills vs. Browns: Preseason game No. 2 gets questions answered

The second preseason game is the tipping point of the summer for NFL teams. It’s when the fun, out-of-nowhere training camp stories, underdog-starring late July novelties that refuel fans for football season, either vanish into thin air or mature into serious narratives for the regular season and beyond. Will the fan-favorite journeyman actually work his […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: tight end Dalton Kincaid

Back in the early aughts, when the Buffalo Bills were firmly mired in the midst of a long, miserable playoff drought that was still going to be worse before it was better, I used to read a lot of Bill Simmons’ work. Admitting that now feels far less cool then it was at that point—or […]

NFL free-agent wide receivers Buffalo Bills could sign before Week 1

Ahead of the Buffalo Bills’ joint practice against the Cleveland Browns on August 20, injury reports and questionable statuses clouded the team’s wide receiver situation.

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: cornerback Christian Benford

The Buffalo Bills have some question marks in the defensive secondary. While they have plenty of talented players, there’s a fear that both of their likely top corners are somewhat prone to injury.
