Opinion: Déjà vu when it comes to Bills
‘The Bills are, again, the favorite to win the AFC East, as they should be. I don’t think the division will be a cakewalk like it was in 2024, but anyone other than the Bills being on top when all is said and done would be very surprising.’

‘The biggest change is the most needed change – the defensive line. With T.J. Sanders, Landon Jackson and Deone Walker arriving in the draft and Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi late arrivals after their suspensions, the Bills have enough depth to play eight or even nine defensive linemen on a regular rotation, which they love to do.’
