The Buffalo Bills’ top 5 contract values for 2026

‘1. Cole Bishop: A little patience went a long way for the Bills when it came to Bishop’s development. After a rocky rookie season in 2024, the light bulb went on for Bishop last year. He started all 17 games in the regular season, finishing with 85 tackles, three interceptions, seven passes defensed and two sacks. His arrival helped stabilize the Bills’ secondary, which lost the other starting safety, Taylor Rapp, to a knee injury during the first half of the year. Entering his third year, Bishop is expected to become one of the Bills’ defensive leaders. His contract calls for him to count $1.785 million against the cap in 2026, which is just 0.59% of the team’s total cap.

How the NFL draft reshaped the Bills’ linebacker depth chart

‘Parker will jump right into that four-man rotation, and while he had pass rush success at Clemson with 21.5 sacks, he was also a solid run defender which was always so important to Sean McDermott on the edge, and certainly will be with Leonhard.’

The Bills just signed a fullback who survived two devastating season-ending injuries in back-to-back years

‘In his first season at fullback for the Eagles, VanSumeren appeared in 11 games and made one start. The bulk of his playing time came on special teams (213 snaps). VanSumeren added 22 snaps on offense. He did not log any carries, but had one reception for zero yards. His second season ended in late-November due to a season–ending knee injury. VanSumeren returned to the Eagles in 2025, but his season ended in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. On the opening kickoff, VanSumeren suffered a patellar tendon tear that ended his season.’

Why the Bills focused on bringing youth and depth to defense

‘Many of the defensive players remain in the wake of Sean McDermott’s firing. But the roster has a few new veterans and is younger in terms of depth, something that president of football operations and general manager Brandon Beane acknowledged. A handful of veterans from last year’s team remain free agents — linebacker Matt Milano, cornerback Tre’Davious White and defensive ends Joey Bosa and AJ Epenesa.’

Analyst reveals key Bills path taken in NFL Draft

‘“After several early trades down, the Bills made 10 picks. Six of the first eight were on defense, and that includes second-rounders T.J. Parker and Davison Igbinosun,” Pereles wrote. “Both should contribute immediately and help shore up the run defense, especially.’

Analyst cautious of improvement due to Bills’ offseason change

‘“Based on adjusted games lost, they were the healthiest offense in the league in 2025,” Gagnon writes. “If that balances out in ’26, their depth will be tested following the loss of Edwards. And while shaking things up by moving on from Sean McDermott isn’t necessarily a bad call at this stage, simply rolling with next-man-up Joe Brady might not result in material improvements.”’

Capaccio: 2026 State of the Bills: Quarterback

‘The Bills like Buechele’s competitiveness and toughness a lot. He’ll get every shot to win the backup role during camp. But if Josh Allen were to go down for a game or two, as it looks right now, they’d most likely turn to and trust the 30-year old Kyle Allen to manage the game and keep them on track.’

Fans start to receive memorabilia from Highmark Stadium

‘“They had it laid out really nice — it was about as easy as it could be, I was shocked, and we signed our seats at the last game,” said Boglione. “The girls helped load them and I looked and said, oh my gosh, those are our actual seats.”’
