Examining Buffalo Bills financial health in 2026 and beyond
The Buffalo Bills are cruising through OTAs right now with plenty of new players, and while that’s happening, let’s assess how financial healthy this team is now and into the future. Examining the books is an important evaluation every year, and with summer break shortly ahead for the entire NFL, now is a good time […]
Bills news: Previewing Jim Leonhard’s new defense
The Buffalo Bills hired Jim Leonhard away from the Denver Broncos and are expecting the former Bills safety to overhaul a defensive unit that struggled at stopping the run, getting off the field on third down, and coming up with the big stop in the playoffs during the Sean McDermott era. Enter Leonhard, who plans […]
The Sean McDermott era is over: Now we get to see the real Joe Brady
Let me be honest with you about something that doesn’t get said enough: the run-first offense you watched the Buffalo Bills run for the past two-plus years? That wasn’t entirely Joe Brady’s offense. Not his full version of it, anyway. I know that’s a spicy take. Brady was the play-caller. Brady was the coordinator. The […]
Buffalo Bills DC Jim Leonhard expects to unleash “disruptive” Ed Oliver
Entering the 2026 season, the Buffalo Bills will have a new defensive coordinator at the helm of the team’s transition toward building an attack-style 3-4 base defense. A former Bills safety himself, Jim Leonhard is back at One Bills Drive looking to correct the defensive shortcoming laid bare during the team’s near-decade run under prior […]
Ranking Buffalo Bills most likely to be in Alex Tuch-like situation after 2026 season
The Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres of course represent the same city and region and have the same owner, but otherwise are entirely different organizations in different sports. These are things we know. But the closeness of these franchises — that also share a COO in Pete Guelli — hints that these clubs are more […]
91 Buffalo Bills players in 91 days: safety Wande Owens
The Buffalo Bills have been known for outstanding safety play over the last ten years or so. Having excellent players like Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde will help with that. Those players are gone now, as is the system in which they thrived. A new defensive coordinator is in town, and he promises to bring […]
Ranking the most intriguing Buffalo Bills summer roster battles
Which competitions am I most interested in over the next few months? Last week, I wrote about the methodology by which I believe we can more accurately predict roster competitions. In short, “when” and “with whom” a player plays are more predictive of their roster status than “h0w” they play. Some interrogatives are more important […]
91 Buffalo Bills players in 91 days: CB Maxwell Hairston
Discussing Buffalo Bills defensive players over the last decade started to become easy. With head coach Sean McDermott in charge from 2017 through 2025, clear patterns emerged as it related to usage, positioning, and potential roles. Heading into the 2026 NFL season, though, the Bills will look different. McDermott is out, and former offensive coordinator […]
Buffalo Beskar, Part 4: Chasing problems
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the always complex, always wacky world of Skarekrow when he’s making things. Hopefully at this point you’re hooked on my Mandalorian/Bills mashup and you’re eager to see more. Last time I discussed the armor I intended to make, specifically the breastplate segment. Kind of cruel of me to be honest […]
Bills news: Josh Allen, DJ Moore working on chemistry at OTAs
To provide all-world quarterback Josh Allen with more help at wide receiver, Buffalo Bills president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane went out and traded for DJ Moore. While Allen and Moore have a friendship going back to when they were rookies selected by the Bills and Carolina Panthers in the 2018 NFL Draft, they […]
91 Buffalo Bills players in 91 days: wide receiver Keon Coleman
It’s that time of the year again, folks! The Buffalo Bills are set to play their first regular season game of the 2026 NFL season on September 13. Over the course of the next 100 days or so, we will introduce every player on the team’s roster. Some of those players are household names by […]
Examining results of Buffalo Bills recent “seller” trades
Sometimes trades can become the backbone of a team ascending to contender status. Buffalo Bills president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane is no stranger to trades. He’s been one of the most active GMs on the trade market since being hired by the Bills after the 2017 draft. His previous contemporary, former Sabres GM […]
Is Christian Benford a good fit to play more man coverage?
Christian Benford and Maxwell Hairston are “penciled in” as the Buffalo Bills starting outside cornerbacks right now — not my words, but those from Brandon Beane in his post-draft press conference about a month ago. The “penciled in” comment came in response to a question about the team’s second-round selection of boundary corner Davison Igbinosun. […]
Buffalo Bills will face some top-tier running backs in 2026
By now you’re well aware — the Buffalo Bills have struggled with run defense. Last year was no exception as the team finished in the bottom of the league in yards allowed to opposing running backs. Unfortunately, things may not get better as the team will be facing some of the best running backs in […]
Buffalo Bills 53-Man roster prediction: OTAs edition
My first 53-man projection of the 2026 season is here, fellow rumblers. Let me be upfront: this is a way-too-early look, before a single preseason snap has been played and before training camp opens in late July. Things will change. That’s precisely what makes this exercise worth doing. What I can tell you right now […]
Bulking up is best-case scenario for Buffalo Bills defensive end Landon Jackson
We’re not quite to June, but have spent an inordinate amount of time speculating on the specific roles for Buffalo Bills defensive personnel in Jim Leonhard’s scheme. At the start of Bills OTAs, we got the first real tangible indicator as to a new job responsibility for a Buffalo defender. Jackson was the team’s third-round […]
How good is every NFL team at drafting?
Last week, I quantifiably determined how well Buffalo Bills director of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane has drafted. Then, I compared Beane’s drafts to some of his decision-making contemporaries. The original piece in this study can be found here, with full/detailed methodology as to how I conducted the research. And here’s the TL;DR of what […]
Buffalo Bills fans should feel optimistic about Michael Hoecht’s progress
The Buffalo Bills started Organized Team Activities (OTA) earlier this week, providing the first glimpse at some of the newest members of the club. While it is always exciting to get a glimpse of the rookies and newly acquired players, I was most excited to see one particular Bill who is working his way back […]
Bills news: Embattled WR Keon Coleman knows the pressure to perform is on
Four months ago, Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula made headlines when, during a press conference about the firing of former head coach Sean McDermott, he interrupted Brandon Beane to say that McDermott and the coaching staff pushed Buffalo to select wide receiver Keon Coleman with the No. 33 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. […]
6 key Buffalo Bills takeaways from Joe Brady’s OTA press conference
New Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady took his place at the podium ahead of Tuesday’s Organized Team Activities (OTA) session, with a notable departure from seasons prior: Brady was standing, point out that he’s “not a sitter.” Though that may seem trivial in the grand scheme of things, it points to new routine and […]
This Buffalo Bills young, former UDFA is fascinating
I did not scout any member of the Buffalo Bills 2026 UDFA class before the draft. Therefore, I can’t provide my pre-draft thoughts on any of them. In fact, safety Wande Owens was the only Buffalo Bills UDFA I scouted before the draft in 2025. Because of that, and the fact we’re entering the lone […]
By hiring Joe Brady, Buffalo Bills seemingly wanted to avoid troubling NFL trend
The Buffalo Bills hiring of Joe Brady as their head coach to immediately succeed Sean McDermott got me thinking all the way back in January. Thinking a lot. The reasonably surprising hire generated plenty questions in my head, and one cluster of related questions have stayed squarely at the front of my mind ever since […]
How to more accurately predict Buffalo Bills 53-man roster
The Buffalo Bills are starting organized team activities (OTAs). They’ll get onto the field in shorts and helmets with very little contact, and they’ll begin running drills and installing plays. There will be camp observations from numerous first-hand sources, which will be the most viewed pieces of content of the spring. And a lot of […]
Bills news: Buffalo begins OTAs
The Buffalo Bills continue their offseason workout program with Organized Team Activities (OTA), which begin at the team’s practice facilities today and continue on Tuesday, May 19, Thursday, May 21, and again from May 26-28 and June 1-4. Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining a few key storylines to watch as the […]
Buffalo Bills near top of NFL in rest relative to opponents in 2026
Say what you want about the 2026 schedule for the Buffalo Bills — they’re going to be well rested. Better rested than their opponents, that is. This graphic, made by Arif Hasan of WideLeft.Football, showcases the net rest (in days) for all 32 teams, with the Bills in the No. 2 spot behind only the […]
