Buffalo Bills news, notes, discussions, opinions and analysis. 24/7/365 since 4/7/2007.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Buffalo Bills dealt away a second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to acquire veteran wide receiver DJ Moore, hoping Moore will rediscover the form that saw him eclipse 1,000 receiving yards four times in a five-year span from 2019-2023 and provide another valuable receiving option for Josh Allen. Moore is reuniting with new […]
Understanding the safety position to be in dire need of a talent infusion, the Buffalo Bills finally found their guy in veteran C.J. Gardner-Johnson. The former Chicago Bears safety is signing a one-year deal worth up to $6 million, per a report shared by ESPN’s Adam Schefter citing information by Gardner-Johnson’s agents in Kevin Conner […]
The Buffalo Bills had a safety problem last season — at least until they didn’t. In the early going, they had Taylor Rapp playing hurt and Cole Bishop playing poorly. After a few weeks, though, they benched Rapp so that he could allow his injured knee to heal — something that caused him to miss […]
The NFL’s new league year officially began at 4 p.m. EDT Wednesday afternoon, and with the start of the new year came the Buffalo Bills’ first big splash in free agency, with the team agreeing to a three-year contract with veteran edge rusher Bradley Chubb. The Chubb news represented what Bills fans have long been […]
Wednesday, March 11 marks the first day of the 2026 NFL season — the new league year, as it’s fondly tagged. It’s the first day when all of the league’s free agents can sign on the dotted line as well as team officially announcing trades that were agreed upon during the offseason. For the Buffalo […]
The Buffalo Bills made one of their quieter but important offseason housekeeping moves by tendering restricted free agent offensive lineman Ryan Van Demark with the original-round tender, locking in his 2026 salary at $3.52 million. For Buffalo, this is a practical roster protection move. The original-round tender, often described as right of first refusal, allows […]
Quarterback Kyle Allen is headed back to Buffalo Bills after Mitchell Trubisky signed with the Chicago Bears in free agency. It’s a move that gives Buffalo a familiar backup behind Josh Allen, and a cost-effective one that nets out as a two-year deal worth $4.1 million that can climb to $6.1 million through incentives. The […]
The Buffalo Bills are signing free-agent defensive end Bradley Chubb to a three-year, $43.5 million contract. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the deal is worth up to $52.5 million, and includes $29 million guaranteed. The 29-year-old Chubb spent the past two seasons with the Miami Dolphins as an integral part of their defensive plans. Last […]
With free agency almost in full swing, we’re starting to get the first glimpses of what the Buffalo Bills’ roster will look like for the 2026 season. Clearly we’re far from finalizing things, but the first major step has begun in earnest; ditching players. One of the first big moves was the release-turned-trade of slot […]

The Buffalo Bills have made a series of moves to both get under the 2026 salary cap and agreed to signings and trades that will add to their cap load. Let’s recap everything they’ve done and assess where they are heading into the league year Wednesday. The Bills entered the offseason projected to be $9 […]
The Buffalo Bills made another move most felt was coming by restructuring Josh Allen’s contract on Wednesday. Allen enters the 2026 season in Year 9 of his NFL career, and Buffalo again leaned on the same cap adjustments it has used with several contracts: converting salary into signing bonus and spreading the charge across future […]
Every offseason, compensatory picks start floating around Buffalo Bills conversations like some secret salary cap equation everyone pretends to fully understand, at least until the formula shifts and chaos returns. The reality is that compensatory picks are one of the most misunderstood parts of roster building because the NFL does not publicly release the exact […]
The Buffalo Bills deploy two of the NFL’s best offensive tackles in their starting lineup. Both of those players are under contract for the 2026 season. Does that mean that the team has nothing to do along the offensive front — at least as it relates to the tackle position? President of football operations/general manager […]
The free agent frenzy is underway in the NFL, as teams have been working on deals with unrestricted free agents for the last two days during the league’s legal tampering period, which runs through 3:59 p.m. EDT today. Then, at 4 p.m. EDT, free agent signings and trades can become official and contracts can be […]
You know what’s going to happen, right? It’s 5:42 EDT on Tuesday, March 10. I’m writing a piece about how the writing was on the wall that the Bills wouldn’t make a big splash early in free agency. And by the time I’m done writing it (or immediately thereafter), they’ll sign Trey Hendrickson for $25 […]
Getting a deal done with center Connor McGovern ahead of free agency is looking like one of the quieter wins of the offseason for the Buffalo Bills and their front office. A lot of people viewed McGovern’s extension as near market value when it happened, but the center market shifted almost instantly once Tyler Linderbaum […]
The Buffalo Bills have lost another defensive back from the team’s 2025 roster, with safety Darnell Savage set to sign a one-year contract to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers, per a source shared with Tom Pelissero. Savage was a key late-season depth addition for Buffalo, with the team claiming him off waivers after cornerback Darius […]
