Brandon Beane filled several of Buffalo’s roster holes through free agency. Have those additions made the roster better, though?

The main wave of free agency is firmly behind us, with general manager Brandon Beane having made moves to fill some of the glaring gaps in the team’s roster and establish a floor so he doesn’t feel forced to draft purely by need early on during the 2025 NFL Draft. How good are those new additions, though? Do they move the needle making this team better in 2025 or is it just more of the same, compared to the players the...

What does the tape tell us about Ezeiruaku?

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane made a number of moves in free agency to bring in a fresh wave of defensive line talent for 2025. However, by adding both Joey Bosa and Michael Hoecht, the team could still use more help. Bosa isn’t necessarily someone to be counted on for much beyond the role of situational pass rusher, and Hoecht will miss the first six games while serving a suspension for a failed performance enhancing drugs test

The best path for Buffalo to take may once again be the NFL Draft....

Who did the Bills conduct interviews with at Lucas Oil Stadium?

There’s plenty of pressing work for the Buffalo Bills to do as it relates to college football players getting ready to enter the NFL. Though the new league year begins with free agency, the annual NFL Scouting Combine acts as a decadent appetizer to remind all just what awaits the league toward April’s end: the NFL Draft.

The annual NFL Scouting Combine represents an important week for the future of football. With that, the Buffalo Bills had key representation planted in Lucas Oil Stadium, where this year’s pool of...

Speed at WR has been an audible refrain among Bills Mafia

The Buffalo Bills are set to host Isaiah Bond as part of the team’s group of top-30 pre-draft visits. Bond, who played wide receiver collegiately at Texas, is an electric speed merchant capable of decimating a defense thanks to his elite short-area burst.

Ryan Talbot was first to report of Bond’s expected visit with One Bills Drive. While general manager Brandon Beane has made meaningful moves to bolster the team’s wide receiver room, the only addition to this point is wide receiver Joshua Palmer. Mack Hollins signed with the...

The questions are how early, and what’s the goal from the group overall in 2025?

The 2025 NFL Draft is about one month away and all of the major dust regarding free agency has settled. That means there’s a good chance that the Buffalo Bills’ roster we see today is pretty much it until the rookies start flying off the board.

If you ask me, One Bills Drive should consider adding another wide receiver in the draft — but shouldn’t force the issue.

Wait, you believe they can just run it back?

Yes, in a way.

Okay, fine....

The Bills utilize both 4YQC benefits for this upcoming season

The Buffalo Bills re-signed fullback and special teams standout Reggie Gilliam to a one-year, $2 million contract. At 27 years old, Gilliam is entering his sixth season, all with the Bills.

Originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 2020, Gilliam has played an integral role on the Bills’ special team’s unit as well as a fullback on offense; Gilliam also provides additional depth at tight end when needed.

How is Reggie Gilliam’s deal structured?

Gilliam’s contract utilizes the Four-Year Qualifying Contract (4YQC) benefit, discussed last week in outlining...

Plus, there’s a Day 2 edge rusher who says the Bills have talked with him eight times so far.

Wide receiver. Edge rusher. Cornerback. Interior defensive lineman. Safety. These are some of the positions Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane could target during the 2025 NFL Draft.

After the first wave of free agency, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by analyzing the latest batch of NFL mock drafts to see which direction the draft pundits think Buffalo will go with its first-round selection.

Analyzing the latest post-free agency mock drafts

From massive Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant...

After a disappointing season with the Houston Texans, Diggs is back in the AFC East.

When it comes to wide receiver Stefon Diggs, the weight of his very public life means leaving his career with the Buffalo Bills in the rearview mirror is impossible. Diggs was at his best playing for Buffalo and with quarterback Josh Allen. He was nearly unstoppable during the regular season for much of his tenure at One Bills Drive.

It was around this time last year that Diggs found himself traded to the Houston Texans, following a very messy break-up with the Bills. You may...

We shift our attention to the trenches, where the Bills need more physicality

Last week, we began our multi-part series on top prospects at positions of need for the Buffalo Bills during the early rounds of the upcoming NFL Draft, focusing on cornerbacks and edge rushers. This week, we return to discuss defensive tackles, because just like that, free agency is roaring down the other side of the hill. After the legal tampering period opened for the NFL on March 10 at noon, the rush for teams to fill roster needs in a quest to meaningfully improve their chances for...

The Buffalo Bills aren’t paying Dane Jackson very much.

The Buffalo Bills didn’t go out of their way to sign cornerback Dane Jackson this offseason, and the contract numbers reflect that while he could be a starting CB in 2025, it’s just as likely he’s completely off the roster by September.

As we suspected, Jackson’s signing will not preclude other moves at the position opposite Christian Benford.

Coming off a two-year, $8 million deal for Jackson, his numbers are much more meager on this deal.

What is Dane Jackson’s contract with the Buffalo Bills?

Jackson signed a one-year deal...

I make, and rest, my case

The 2025 NFL Draft is about one month away and all of the major dust regarding free agency has settled. That means there’s a good chance that the Buffalo Bills’ roster we see today is pretty much it until the rookies start flying off the board.

If you ask me, One Bills Drive needs to draft a safety early on in the process, even if they selected one in last year’s draft.

The Sean McDermott Defense

The Bills need to draft a safety next month because the Sean McDermott-led defense won’t be...

What’s the most likely scenario for the Bills to play at home in front of a national audience during the 2025 NFL season?

When will the Buffalo Bills play their first primetime game of the 2025 NFL season? The details about “when” the Bills’ will face their upcoming regular-season opponents has yet to be revealed, but there may be several clues as to which teams stand a fighter’s chance for main event exposure.

Perhaps a Kansas City Chiefs game to start the season? A seemingly far-off January matchup against the Baltimore Ravens with home field implications? Maybe a Thanksgiving Day...
