Buffalo Bills re-sign safety ahead of preseason opener vs. Panthers

He was an undrafted free-agent signee by the Buffalo Bills after the 2025 NFL Draft and is now back on the roster after being released in late July. Former Yale and New Hampshire do-everything safety Wande Owens was re-signed by the team one day before the preseason opener against the Panthers inside the new Highmark […]

Bills news: Biggest risers and fallers heading into preseason opener

After months of organized team activities, offseason workouts and inter-squad scrimmages, the Buffalo Bills are finally ready to face another NFL team when the Bills open their preseason schedule Saturday at home against the Carolina Panthers. Leading up to Week 1 of the preseason, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining a few […]

Bills vs. Panthers: Let the depth evaluations begin

Depth. It’s boringly repeated ad nauseam by GMs and coaches before and during every NFL season, and it’s easily dismissed as irrelevant coach or executive speak. But for as much as it seems sensible to label the NFL as a “star-driven” league — and we certainly know the stars exceptionally well — in January and […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: tackle/guard Jude Bowry

The Buffalo Bills under general manager Brandon Beane have done a good job building offensive line depth. Beane has a type, too, as he often takes shots at very athletic pieces up front who have the athleticism to play at multiple positions. If you’re going to be a backup offensive lineman in Buffalo, you need […]

Buffalo Bills cosplay: Final paint and more, breastplate

We’re getting closer and closer to a full set of Mandalorian armor decked out in Buffalo Bills flair. I’ve got final paint on the leg and shoulder pieces, the helmet was revealed early thanks to the Bills themselves copying my design and forcing my hand. I made some promises along the way though, and I […]

Ranking likeliest Brandon Beane August Trade candidates on Buffalo Bills roster

Brandon Beane loves himself an August trade. It started with Sammy Watkins, Ronald Darby, and Reggie Ragland in his first August as Bills GM. Others since include Eli Harold for Ryan Bates, sending Wyatt Teller to the Browns, and netting late-round selections for the likes of Corey Coleman, Russell Bodine, Darryl Johnson, Boogie Basham, and […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: running back Ray Davis

Last season the Buffalo Bills employed the NFL’s leading rusher. That’s the first time that happened since O.J. Simpson was carrying the football in 1976. With that kind of output from your top running back, opportunities for any of the reserve rushers are obviously going to be limited. The Bills had a pretty clear hierarchy […]

First impressions of Buffalo Bills new Highmark Stadium

The new home of the Buffalo Bills is finally open, with Bills Mafia able to get their first look inside a gigantic project three years in the making during the “Return of the Blue & Red” practice this past Saturday. Thanks to an incredibly kind season ticket holder, my oldest and I were among those […]

Can Chauncey Gardner-Johnson contain himself Week 1 vs. Houston Texans?

In Week 1 of the regular season the Buffalo Bills will be traveling to face their kryptonite in the Houston Texans. Of course things have not gone well in Houston for Buffalo, as the team has suffered three straight losses including one in the playoffs. In fact, the Bills have not won in Houston since […]

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 […]
