The Buffalo Bills 2025 season is now but a distant, haunting memory; Training camp is upon us, and the 2026 NFL season finally begins in earnest. The Bills' media cycle has fans covered with just about every topic imaginable, but plenty of key stories fall through the cracks. What Bills' players aren't being talked about as training camp kicks off?
Buffalo Bills flying under-the-radar into training camp
WR Joshua Palmer
It's easy to forget with all the excitement at wide receiver this offseason, but Joshua Palmer will make this 53-man roster. After the Keon Coleman theatrics, followed by the D.J. Moore trade, then the drafting of Skyler Bell, there's been a great deal of change at the position.
We feel we know what the cast of 2026 looks like, but it's easy top overlook Palmer. His 2025 season was quiet, studded with injuries, but the athletic WR can play the Y or as a jumbo slot, and his physicality is a useful tool for Joe Brady's offense.
OLB Greg Rousseau
Buried in Jim Leonhard's switch to a 3-4 defense and the acquisitions that followed is the presence of DE-turned-OLB Gregory Rousseau. The former-first rounder has all the traits needed to convert to his new role, and could be a major player this season in a new formation.
He hasn't been much discussed, after signing Bradley Chubb and drafting Chubb 2.0 (T.J. Parker), Rousseau fell to the wayside. Now, he's entering training camp healthy and with an entirely new season in front of him.
NCB Dee Alford
It's not often a marquee signing for a position is so quickly forgotten, but many don't even who Dee Alford is. The premium slot corner is set to take the reins from now-Vegas Raider Taron Johnson.
The acquisition was anything but quiet, yet it already drifts into obscurity. Cornerback drama has been another stirring topic this offseason, but the nickelback situation is a picture of comfort.
DT T.J. Sanders
Last season, Deone Walker was the rookie who made headlines, with a massive rookie season at the DT spot. His position and draft-mate, T.J. Sanders, had a much quieter introduction. For that reason, in concert with the ever-shifting defensive philosophy and massive 2026 defensive draft class, he's been forgotten.
Still, Sanders is a 6'4, 297lb athlete who will carve out a role for himself under a new defensive coordinator. He offers a great deal with his measurables, and has the chance to back them up in training camp.
