When you think of the Buffalo Bills, most if not all fans immediately think of Josh Allen because he is clearly the best player on the roster. The 2024 NFL MVP has been dynamic since entering the league and is the main reason why the Bills are who they are.
However, even a star quarterback needs a little bit of support as well. The Bills have taken on a ton of criticism the past two years due to the construction of the roster where it seemed like they didn’t add a ton of star power to help Allen. Yet, the Bills are still among the best teams in the league despite these criticisms.
This offseason focused on a bunch of changes between the coaching staff and the roster. Buffalo went heavy on defense to revamp the unit under new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, who will be putting together a 3-4 defense. Then the Bills added some solid playmakers on the outside for Allen with D.J. Moore and Skyler Bell.
Bills receive praise for roster revamp during offseason
The roster is a lot better than it was a month ago and Ed Edholm from NFL.com also sees it has the Bills were recently ranked as having one of the most complete rosters heading into the 2026 season.
Edholm did talk about how the wide receiver position is still a bit of a question mark, but mentioned that the possible emergence of Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman can take Buffalo's offense to a new level.
"He is surrounded by a strong offensive group, led by Cook and a well-built offensive line, but it’s not one without worry. Wide receiver is the biggest question mark, even after the acquisition of DJ Moore and the drafting of Skyler Bell. If tight end Dalton Kincaid can stay healthy and wideout Keon Coleman can develop, the Bills will be more dangerous." said Edholm.
As for the defense, the Bills have brought in a ton of help in the trenches, off the edge, and in the secondary. Edholm highlighted the front part of the defense, but also talked about how the secondary could be a strong unit as well.
"Rousseau, Ed Oliver, Deone Walker, and Bradley Chubb along with the addition of second-rounder T.J. Parker, likely make the front the strongest part of the defense. The secondary could be a defensive strength if Cole Bishop and Maxwell Hairston take big steps this season. Adding Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Geno Stone, and Dee Alford and some draft prospects also gave the back end a boost." said Edholm.
There are going to be some growing pains with this new roster, but the Bills have done a great job at setting themselves at making another run at the Super Bowl despite all of the changes that they went through this offseason. There is a mixture of proven veterans and there are some solid rookie additions as well. Fans will soon see how this roster comes together on the field.
