Buffalo Bills news, notes, discussions, opinions and analysis. 24/7/365 since 4/7/2007.
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 […]
Defensive end Maxx Crosby isn’t heading to the East Coast after all, having reportedly failed a requisite physical ahead of what was to be his official signing with the Baltimore Ravens later this week. The timing of this void is interesting as a report by ESPN states that Crosby’s physical was to be conducted once […]
The Buffalo Bills have reportedly “reached out” about defensive end Trey Hendrickson, per a source shared with Ryan Talbot. Often viewed as one of the premiere pass rushers in today’s NFL, the four-time Pro Bowler hasn’t found early success in free agency, despite interest from quite a few teams. Hendrickson, now 31, is looking for […]
Cam Lewis is heading to the Windy City, agreeing to a two-year contract that will have him join the Chicago Bears beginning with the 2026 NFL season, per a report by Jeremy Fowler. The now former Buffalo Bills defensive back became a mainstay as a depth defender and special teams contributor for former head coach […]
Last Thursday it was announced that the Buffalo Bills would be trading their second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Chicago Bears for wide receiver DJ Moore and a fifth round pick. As you could imagine, all of the mock drafts that had One Bills Drive selecting a receiver in the first round […]
The Buffalo Bills are starting to change things around in free agency. After releasing, I mean trading, slot corner Taron Johnson, the Buffalo Bills were in the market for a replacement. Enter cornerback Dee Alford, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons. What does Alford bring to the table? Let’s take a look. The Film Unlike Taron […]
In the Buffalo Bills’ first game of the 2025 NFL season, the defense allowed 40 points. However, there were some positive moments, especially from their interior defensive line. One former first-round draft choice made a huge impact in that game. Another big veteran registered a tackle for loss in the contest. As the game progressed, […]
The Buffalo Bills have agreed to a contract extension with tight end Dawson Knox, keeping the long-term offensive contributor with the team for at least the 2026 season. The news was reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and confirmed by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. We’ll know more when the contract details are announced, but Knox’s spot […]
The contract details are in for the Dee Alford free agent signing by the Buffalo Bills. Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic sent out the details on social media Monday night. The signing can’t be official until Wednesday afternoon. The base of the deal is three years, $15.75 million plus incentives. Of that total, more than […]
According to a report from Over the Cap, the Buffalo Bills and Tyler Bass have agreed to a new contract that could keep Bass in Western New York in 2026. Bass missed the 2025 season with an injury and Matt Prater performed very well in his place. Bass was set to make $3.85 million in […]
