‘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.
