Bills roundtable: Our reporters answer 4 key offseason questions before the combine

‘In moving to a 3-4 defense, the Bills are going to need linebackers. Thompson was their best last season. He brought a toughness to the defense that elevated the entire group. He’s got experience playing in a 3-4 scheme, which is especially important with the transition the team will make under new coordinator Jim Leonhard. Thompson’s age (31) is somewhat concerning, but in a way it works to the Bills’ advantage, because he’s not likely to secure a long-term, lucrative contract on the free-agent market. Given the Bills’ minimal amount of cap space, Thompson should be affordable.’

Bills hire longtime NFL head coach John Fox to Joe Brady’s staff for 2026

‘John Fox brings 16 years of head coaching experience as a senior defensive coach under Brady, who’s transitioning from the Bills’ offensive coordinator to Sean McDermott’s replacement. Fox filled a similar advisory role with the Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions in 2022 and 2023, respectively.’

‘The most interesting name on the list is the addition of John Fox as a senior assistant coach. The 71-year-old Fox has vast experience as an NFL head coach, having served in that capacity with the Panthers (2002-10), Broncos (2011-14) and Bears (2015-17), and will likely be an ideal sounding board for the 36-year-old Brady.’
