Will it be a “redshirt” year for the massive rookie? Or will he be able to contribute right away?

The Buffalo Bills tried to improve their defensive line once again this offseason, pouring plenty of resources into both the defensive end and defensive tackle positions. This is far from the first time that general manager Brandon Beane has sought to improve the defensive line, as he has consistently tinkered with the group in search of a combination that can dominate a game.

With respect to Beane and the Bills’ personnel department, they have consistently fallen short of that goal. While...

A defensive masterclass against a comeback player of the year

The Buffalo Bills’ 2024 season has been written. So let’s add some “illustrations!” If you’re new to Plays That Defined, this isn’t a highlight recap, but rather a cathartic retelling of the past season, chapter by chapter.

What could cause the Buffalo Bills to stumble in 2025?

The Buffalo Bills are one of the betting favorites to not only reach the Super Bowl but win the final game of the NFL season. So what teams could stand in their way? What could cost the Bills the AFC East or the conference?

Injuries are impossible to predict around the league. The New England Patriots won 16 of 17 AFC East titles from 2003 to 2019 with the lone year absent being the one Tom Brady was injured in Week 1. I don’t even want to think about Mitch...

Everything Bills fans need to know about training camp and how to secure your tickets.

The Buffalo Bills are once again bringing their training camp to the campus of St. John Fisher University this summer, presenting fans a unique opportunity to watch reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen and their favorite players go through all the drills and scrimmages associated with training camp.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with everything you need to know about Bills training camp at St. John Fisher, which opens on Wednesday, July 23 and runs through Thursday, August 7

Buffalo Bills release 2025 training...

It’s been two years since Allen was on Madden’s cover, but his time with the team continues to make an impact today.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen continues making an impact in the world of the EA Sports Madden NFL franchise nearly two years after his cover appearance. Despite many believing that updated rosters are the only significant change, the much-maligned video game does implement new features and adds improvements with each release.

For example, when Josh Allen was involved with Madden NFL 23 he had a very specific request for Clint Oldenburg who’s the current EA Sports American Football...

After a year in the system, can the second-year back break through in 2025?

The Buffalo Bills placed greater emphasis on the running game in 2024, and in doing so they increased the overall efficiency of what was already an excellent offensive attack. It helps when the quarterback is a threat to run at all times, but when the team has three running backs who are capable of making house calls from anywhere on the field, it’s another boost entirely.

With all three of the team’s top running backs from last season returning, it’s difficult to envision a situation where...

The Bills are going camping again at St. John Fisher University!

Each summer Buffalo Bills fans, especially those in Rochester, NY, look forward to the team’s training camp schedule. It’s a tradition that’s been held at St. John Fisher University for decades now, and one that the whole family can attend for free to get an early glimpse at the team — and perhaps a chance for an autograph either before or after practice.

For the 2025 edition of Bills training camp, there will be 11 practices with the first taking place on July 23. The last practice this summer...

After a year spent on the practice squad, does the return man-slash-slot corner have a better shot at the 53-man roster this time around?

The Buffalo Bills spent plenty of resources upgrading their defensive backfield this offseason. The team signed two veteran cornerbacks, both of whom are familiar faces, and drafted three players who play corner, as well. This signifies that the team wants more out of its defensive backfield, which really could be said about the team’s desires for its defense as a whole.

With all of these new upgrades, it’s definitely a shot across the bow for some...

Can this raw UDFA prospect make a dent in what appears to be a solid positional group?

The Buffalo Bills have poured a lot of resources into the tight end position of late. That’s something new for a franchise that had never really emphasized the position, except perhaps for a brief time where they named the most famous offensive attack in franchise history for the player who played tight end (but even then, many people thought the K-Gun was named for quarterback Jim Kelly and not tight end Keith McKeller, whose nickname was “Killer”).

Under offensive coordinator Joe Brady, the...

The Pro Bowl running back wants to be paid like a top player at his position. But is he worth it?

The Buffalo Bills face a major decision regarding running back James Cook, who reportedly seeks a contract extension north of $15 million annually. Such a pay day would place him among the NFL’s highest-paid running backs, rivaling Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, and Christian McCaffrey.

While Cook’s 2024 season was notable — 1,009 rushing yards and a league-leading 16 rushing touchdowns — there are several reasons why committing to such a deal is poor business. The former Georgia Bulldog has...
