Free Agency Additions: The Running Back and Wide Receiver Position
Similar to how I broke down the defensive line and secondary additions, this blog will cover the additions to the running back and wide receiver positions. These two positions were at the bottom of my priorities list compared to the additions I felt the team needed to make on the defensive side of the ball.
Free Agency Additions: The Cornerback and Safety Positions
Like I did with the defensive line, in this blog, I will cover the signings that the Bills made at the Cornerback and Safety positions, along with some players that are still available that Buffalo could be targeting in the second wave of free agency.
Free Agency Additions: Defensive Line
I felt the Buffalo Bills could bolster their defensive line before the draft to have more options with their early picks. After signing three free agents, two of whom are suspended for the first six games and two on one-year contracts, this position group will need more additions before the draft, on top of drafting at least one edge rusher and one tackle.
Offseason Priorities: Addressing the CB and WR Rooms
The Buffalo Bills need to make some additions in Free Agency or the draft at the cornerback and wide receiver positions. The cornerback position has some premier names available, some relatively young to hit the free agent market. Wide receiver is a position of need again as Buffalo currently has six receivers under contract, three of whom were practice squad regulars.
Offseason Priorities: Addressing the Defensive Line
Buffalo’s playoff pass rush and the Philadelphia Eagles’ performance in the Super Bowl made everyone realize the same thing. The Bills need to revamp their defensive line and have a better pass rush with four. All signings are meant to be viewed independently as players I like as potential fits for the Bills.
Offseason Priorities: Re-Signing Bills Free Agents
The Buffalo Bills enter the offseason in a much better situation than they have over the past few years after the league announced a salary cap increase of $23.8 million. Buffalo is about $10 million over the cap compared to the $41 million they were last offseason, and they have 12 unrestricted free agents this year compared to the 22 they had in 2024.
Offseason Priorities: Extension Eligible Players
I touched on a list of players drafted by the Bills last year who I believed had earned a contract extension already or would warrant one after this season. Spencer Brown received his at the start of last season, and it’s already looking like a bargain. The five other names I wrote about in that blog have not signed a new deal yet. Shakir joined Brown on Tuesday with his second contract.
15 Million Dollar Man?
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook made some headlines this week by pinning a comment on his Instagram livestream, saying, “15 mill year.” Subsequently, Cook has unfollowed the team on social media. This new move used by athletes in recent years is particularly common during contract negotiations and when the player is unhappy with how things are going.
Five Trade Scenarios For the Bills
The offseason came earlier than any of us had hoped, and it has quickly become a rumor mill of who wants to be traded, along with some confirmed availability of big name players. Below, I will list five trade scenarios for the Bills this offseason that would all make sense based on their current needs.

Bills at Patriots Recap
The Buffalo Bills lose their regular season finale 23-16 to the New England Patriots. The victory, accompanied with Browns, Giants, and Titans losses, knocks the Patriots from the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft to the fourth. Buffalo didn’t seem to mind helping New England edge out the victory and prevent them from securing the top pick. In that regard, it was a strange game, so this will be a much different recap than most.
