Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: inside linebacker Otis Reese IV

The Buffalo Bills have worked to add linebacker depth over the last few seasons. It wasn’t long ago where the team had to call A.J. Klein in from his RV vacation to start in playoff games, so that strategy makes sense. Adding depth to the team’s starters is essential, and while the salary cap limits […]

Takeaways from Buffalo Bills first depth chart before first preseason game

The Buffalo Bills host the Carolina Panthers on Saturday, August 15 for the first preseason game inside the new Highmark Stadium, and now that the team is well into its week of preparation, they’ve released the first depth chart of the summer. Remember, this depth chart isn’t necessarily directly from the coaching staff. And there’s […]

In defense of the O’Cyrus Torrence extension

The mood about Bills Mafia has changed in the last year or so. Buffalo Bills General Manager Brandon Beane has been under a much higher level of scrutiny by fans of the team as the “talent versus coaching” debate began to rage through both social media and water coolers. Bills owner Terry Pegula came down […]

Bills news: Recapping Day 8 at camp

On Monday, the Buffalo Bills held their first training camp practice at the team’s facilities since leaving St. John Fisher University late last week. On a day where rain and lightning once again hovered over the practice, the Bills conducted their drills inside the Kaleida Health Performance Center. Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: inside linebacker Terrel Bernard

The Buffalo Bills dealt with a litany of injuries during the 2025 NFL season. The defense, in particular, was ravaged by injury, especially at the end of the season. In the team’s final game, there were too many plays made by players who hadn’t begun the year with the Bills, and ultimately, those plays stuck […]

Buffalo Bills fans cautiously optimistic about team ahead of 2026 NFL preseason

Last week we asked Buffalo Rumblings readers how they were feeling about the Buffalo Bills after the start of training camp this summer. As everyone who follows the NFL well knows, a generous helping of salt is necessary when weighing in about the sport at this point of the calendar. That said, all anyone has […]

New Highmark Stadium is fun for Skarekrows of all sizes

The Buffalo Bills opened their new stadium in style, with over 50,000 fans attending the annual “Return of the Red and Blue” practice. That’s right, over 50k for a practice. Among those attending were my sister that I frequently mooch off of, our football friend (of Mando helm fame), my two daughters, and myself. I […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: cornerback Dee Alford

The Buffalo Bills deployed Taron Johnson and Cam Lewis as their primary slot corners for most of this decade. Johnson, for his part, had earned a starting role as early as his rookie year in 2018, though he didn’t become a full-time starter until the following season. Lewis worked his way onto Buffalo’s roster as […]

Buffalo Bills 53-man roster projection: Post training camp

The Buffalo Bills are home in Orchard Park after a short but active training camp at St. John Fisher University, which means it’s time for a 53-man roster projection. While there weren’t a litany of enormous personnel developments during the team’s time in Pittsford, some alterations from my post-draft projection are needed… Quarterback (2) Kyle […]

First impressions of Buffalo Bills’ new Highmark Stadium

What an evening inside the new Highmark Stadium for the Return of the Blue and Red Scrimmage on Saturday night for Buffalo Bills fans. I was fortunate enough to be one of the 51,807 in attendance for the first full-scale event inside the Bills’ new building, and below are my first impressions along with reviews […]

Bills news: Recapping Return of the Blue & Red

The Buffalo Bills’ first public event inside their new, state-of-the-art Highmark Stadium occurred Saturday night, when the team did drills and held an inter-squad scrimmage during their annual Return of the Blue & Red practice. More than 51,000 Bills fans took advantage of their first chance to see the Bills’ new stadium in person, and […]

Every Buffalo Bills offensive guard contract handled by Brandon Beane

The Buffalo Bills dominated NFL headlines on Friday, August 7 in signing right guard O’Cyrus Torrence to a massive contract extension. Torrence’s new deal will pay him $78.4 million, including $46 million guaranteed over the course of four years, beginning with the 2027 NFL season. It’s certainly true that Torrence’s latest contract is set to […]

Return of the Blue and Red Scrimmage Day open thread

The Buffalo Bills take the field and 60,000-plus fans will enter for the first large-scale event inside the new Highmark Stadium for the Return of the Blue and Red Scrimmage. After the shortest stint at St. John Fisher University in Pittsford — just seven full practices — the Bills are back in Orchard Park and […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: wide receiver Skyler Bell

The Buffalo Bills entered the 2026 offseason period in need of receiving help. Last year, they had a receiving corps that could kindly be described as poor, and it was one that was clearly not a threat for multiple top-flight defenses. When you can send any number of blitzers against a quarterback as good as […]

How have Buffalo Bills homegrown contract extensions fared in Brandon Beane era?

The Buffalo Bills extending right guard O’Cyrus Torrence as they finished training camp at St. John Fisher University got me thinking… how have Brandon Beane’s draft-and-develop contract extensions fared in his tenure as the team’s GM? In 2025, Beane signed Greg Rousseau, Khalil Shakir, Christian Benford, Terrel Bernard, and James Cook to second contracts, and […]

Bills news: Recapping Day 6 of training camp

Buffalo Bills fans who were worried about the health of safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who suffered a calf strain in practice last week, must have let out a collective sigh of relief when Gardner-Johnson was a full participant in pads during Thursday’s practice session at St. John Fisher University. Gardner-Johnson returning to the practice field was […]

Who is the next Buffalo Bills contract extension?

The Buffalo Bills have locked up O’Cyrus Torrence with a massive four-year extension just a few months after extending Connor McGovern. In 2025, it was James Cook and Christian Benford and Josh Allen and Greg Rousseau and Terrel Bernard and Khalil Shakir. So that begs the question: Who is next for a Buffalo Bills contract […]

O’Cyrus Torrence contract extension: What does it mean for the Bills and the offensive line?

The Buffalo Bills have locked up another major piece of their offensive line, agreeing to a four-year, $78.4 million contract extension with right guard O’Cyrus Torrence. The extension carries an new money average annual value of $19.5 million and includes $46 million in total guarantees as first reported by Adam Schefter. He’s now the seventh-highest […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: cornerback D.J. Miller

The Buffalo Bills shuffled the deck in their defensive backfield a bit last week, releasing a player I was high on entering this offseason in Wande Owens. Moves on the fringes don’t often draw big headlines, but in the summertime, it’s often those moves that coaches sweat the most. How can they find players who […]

C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s surprising return to training camp practice huge for Bills defensive versatility

After C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffered a calf strain last week at Buffalo Bills training camp, everyone thought he’d be sidelined for weeks. That proved not to be the case, as the chippy, high-energy veteran safety returned to the practice field at St. John Fisher University on Thursday for the team’s sixth training camp practice, surprising the […]

Buffalo Bills sign linebacker, place a veteran on IR

The Buffalo Bills have added to their linebacker room ahead of their sixth training camp practice at St. John Fisher University. Otis Reese IV — a tryout player on Wednesday — is in, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is now on IR. Here’s all the pertinent information on the Bills newest player, courtesy of the team’s PR account […]

Should Buffalo Bills fans be worried about kicker Tyler Bass?

The Buffalo Bills were without the services of kicker Tyler Bass for the entire 2025 season as Bass dealt with a painful pelvic injury, but the expectation was that Bass would be healthy and ready to go as the Bills got ready for training camp at St. John Fisher University. It has been nearly a […]
