Buffalo Rumblings
One year later, what do you think was the best roster move from the Buffalo Bills a year ago?
We’ve reached slower period of the 2025 offseason, which gives us a second to take stock of both the current team and the last 14ish months — and beyond. We always see instant grades from the NFL draft or free agency, but we don’t always give a solid look back at the last offseason to see how things went.
Below, I’m going to list my favorites. Pick one and share it in the comments or tell me I’m an idiot for including it. Whatever you want.

The transactions are in chronological order. We didn’t include any of the cuts, but you can in the comments if you’d like.
After spending the 2023 season as the sixth man, Edwards was re-signed to be the starting guard after the Bills released Mitch Morse and slid Connor McGovern over to center. He started all 16 games before the season final and was well worth the $4.678 million he was paid.
The Bills and Miller agreed to a pay cut in 2024, saving $8.6 million in cap space and all but ensuring 2024 would be his last season in Buffalo. He played in 13 games and notched six sacks in the regular season, but we wish we would have gotten more in the postseason.
Make no mistake, Rapp was signed to be a starter for the Bills and he held up his end of the bargain so far. He enters the second year of his three-year deal as the clear starter at strong safety again, replacing Jordan Poyer. And his deal averages $3.5 million per season.
Entering the final year of his contract and his age-30 season, everyone wanted this deal to get done. He’s 10th in the NFL among left tackles in average money... Pretty good for a Pro Bowler.
The Bills kept Epenesa from free agency with a $6 million average salary, a solid number for a starting defensive end. He started 13 games and played 55% of the team’s defensive snaps notching six sacks.
The first outside player on our list, Hollins endeared himself to Bills fans first then went on to lead the Bills in touchdown receptions. He played in 17 games with a 31/378/5 slash line and came up big (literally) in big moments.
It took him a while to fit in, and he finished with a 31/253/1 slash line in the regular season but added two touchdowns on six catches in the playoffs....
