The Buffalo Bills will be starting training camp at St. John Fisher University in approximately two weeks, and the vibe around the team is buzzing with excitement. General manager Brandon Beane and head coach Joe Brady will be watching and evaluating a revamped squad ready to compete for their respective positions.
The Bills were busy in the offseason, adding new pieces to both the offense and defense that Bills fans will get to see once the team reports to camp. Fans can look forward to watching these new players, building anticipation for the season they've been waiting for.
Top 6 Bills additions to help team make playoffs
6.) S Geno Stone
The Buffalo Bills and Geno Stone agreed to a one-year, $1.4 million deal back in March.
When the Bills released veteran staples at safety, including Taylor Rapp, the Bills decided to sign Stone, as he was available from the Cincinnati Bengals. He will bring in veteran experience while creating competition.
Under Joe Brady, he wants players who are talented. Stone is a tough, hard-nosed player who will look to win the starting safety role opposite Cole Bishop by competing against C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
5.) S C.J. Gardner-Johnson
C.J. Gardner-Johnson signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Bills in March.
During his career, the 28-year-old has shown he can move around the secondary, particularly in aggressive, multiple defenses similar to the one run by Jim Leonhard.
He is an energetic and athletic defensive back who will join fellow free-agent pickup Stone, and they will battle for the other starting safety spot opposite Bishop.
While Gardner-Johnson brings high energy and a passion to the Bills' safety room, he also exhibits deep post-safety range. He dominates in great-field alignment, allowing him to work from single-high or split-safety positioning, reading the quarterback's eyes.
4.) LB Kaleb-Elarms-Orr
The Bills drafted Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Elarms-Orr is one of those old-school thumper linebackers the Bills have basically neglected to draft in the past. But with the new scheme change that requires a thumper at middle linebacker, Elarms-Orr looks like an NFL linebacker.
He has the size at 6-foot-2, 234 pounds, to be able to hit powerful running backs, especially when the opposing offenses are in 12-to-13 personnel. In an age where the bigger, powerful linebackers are making a comeback, Elarms-Orr may be reminiscent of a Takeo Spikes or London Fletcher-type punishing linebacker.
3.) CB Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun was drafted in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Some trends in the NFL haven't changed, and the Bills have continued to follow the tall, lengthy cornerbacks who need to match up in man coverage against the bigger, more premier wideouts in the NFL.
At 6-foot-2, 193 pounds, Igbinosun has the physicality and cover skills to hang with the tougher, bigger wideouts he will face as a pro.
The skilled corner back excels in man coverage, which the Bills will be running more of in Leonhard's defense than during the past nine seasons under McDermott. Some corners are more conservative with their hand placements on the wide receivers. Still, Igbinosun is very grabby with his hands, which led to various penalties in the first half of the season at Ohio State, but then he cleaned them up in the second half.
2.) ER Bradley Chubb
Bradley Chubb signed a three-year, $43.5 million deal with the Bills in March.
Beane went back to the well again to draft another veteran edge rusher on a cheaper contract, but also fits his mold of power rushers over speed rushers.
At 6-foot-4, 268 pounds, Chubb is the ideal size for a modern-day NFL power rusher. In Leonhard's defense, he will be asked to use his powerful frame to stop the run and rush the quarterback, particularly in late-down situations.
He is used to playing in aggressive defenses, like the one the Bills currently run. When he was with the Miami Dolphins and in his rookie year with the Denver Broncos under former head coach and current defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, they also ran it.
1.) WR D.J. Moore
The Bills traded a 2026 second-round pick to the Chicago Bears for D.J. Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick.
The biggest fish in the sea this offseason that the Bills had to catch and reel in was a true No. 1 wideout that Josh Allen hasn't had since Stefon Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans in 2024.
After years of not acquiring a new No. 1 wideout, he Bills decided to acquire Moore from the Carolina Panthers, as he and Joe Brady were both there, where Moore posted three 1,000+ yard receiving seasons while Brady was the offensive coordinator.
While Moore wasn't as much of a factor in the Bears' offense last year, it was because Caleb Williams was throwing to rookie tight end Colston Loveland more. Moore still came through in the clutch last season, including a game-winning OT catch he made from Williams against the Green Bay Packers in December at Soldier Field.
Moore will look to regain his magic by reuniting with Brady and returning to running another Sean Payton-type offense, after he had Declan Doyle, another Sean Payton disciple, as the Bears' offensive coordinator last season.
