In ESPN NFL Insider Jeremy Fowler’s latest survey league survey of executives, scouts, and coaches about the Top 10 players at each position we discovered how Dion Dawkins is viewed at the offensive tackle position.
The Buffalo Bills offensive tackle did not make the Top 10, but like Dalton Kincaid, got an honorable mention distinction. Here’s what Fowler wrote about Dawkins:
“A solid starter, plays with an edge, can be good in both phases but shows inconsistent effort.” — NFC executive
I don’t know if I’m totally in agreement with that assessment, as I don’t think I’ve ever questioned...

The Buffalo Bills under general manager/team president Brandon Beane have found quite a few late-round gems in the NFL Draft. It’s been a point of joking—with some doses of seriousness—that Beane’s late-round draft picks have almost been more effective than his premium picks.
At cornerback, for example, the Bills drafted Christian Benford in the sixth round after already having selected Kaiir Elam in round one back in the 2022 NFL Draft. It’s fortunate that they did, too, because Elam has been a complete bust in his professional career, while Benford has risen to near-stardom in his.
So, when the Bills...

Every summer, ESPN NFL Insider Jeremy Fowler surveys league executives, scouts, and coaches about the Top 10 players at each position, and today he released the results for the tight end position.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid did not make the Top 10, instead getting an honorable mention distinction. Here’s what Fowler wrote about Kincaid:
“A very gifted athlete. He hasn’t put it all together yet, but that’s partly due to injury — he absolutely can. I expect him to.” — NFC executive
Fine assessment, wouldn’t you say?
It’s been universally agreed upon since his days as a...

The 2025 Buffalo Bills season has been written, but the book is incomplete. Before we cast our full attention toward the 2026 season, let’s take one last glance back over our shoulder for our annual look at the Plays That Defined the prior campaign.
For any newcomers, first and foremost; Welcome! When it comes to the “rules” of this exercise, we’re not voting for our favorite highlight necessarily, but the one that best captures the essence of the game. Put differently, if you had to choose just one play to show someone to explain as much of the contest as...

The Buffalo Bills are currently enjoying some downtime before the team gathers at St. John Fisher University for the start of training camp on July 29.
From rookie minicamp and voluntary minicamp to organized team activities and mandatory minicamp, rookies and veterans alike have had a few opportunities to make a lasting impression on Brandon Beane and Joe Brady, but training camp and the team’s three preseason games represent the biggest chance for players to stake their claim to a spot on the 53-man roster.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with thoughts from a few Bills beat writers...

The Buffalo Bills have a plethora of options along the interior defensive line. Whether those options are any good or not depends on one’s view of the group as a whole, and it’s based almost solely on conjecture given the Bills’ change to a new scheme this season.
Will some of the holdovers from last year’s club fit into Jim Leonhard’s defense? Or will they have to find a team that plays something more similar to former head coach Sean McDermott’s defense in order to find NFL success? In today’s installment of “91 players in 91 days,” we discuss someone...

Training camp is almost here, but one question continues to linger for the Buffalo Bills: Is the wide receiver room complete?
That discussion picked up steam this week after Mike Florio highlighted comments from veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who made it clear Buffalo is where he’d like to be.
Speaking with Tim Graham of The Athletic, Cooks said, “Obviously, Buffalo is the place I’d love to be.” He added that both sides are still figuring things out and hopes something comes together before training camp begins.
It’s easy to understand why.
The Bills are legitimate Super Bowl contenders, Josh...

ESPN ranks the Buffalo Bills as having the fourth-best roster in the NFL entering 2026. But if you ask people around the league, one concern continues to surface: Who is the guy? On offense that question is easy. Josh Allen is one of the league’s elite superstars. On defense, however, the question carries far more weight, and it may be the biggest concern surrounding a team with continued Super Bowl aspirations.
NFL insider Jason La Canfora recently reported that multiple league executives believe Buffalo still lacks the dominant edge rusher capable of consistently taking over games when it matters most....

While football fans wait for the start of the 2026 season, it is never too soon to prepare for fantasy football. James Cook is coming off one of the greatest rushing season’s in Buffalo Bills history, having led the NFL in rush yards in 2025. Past success does not guaranteed future success, so I was curious how ESPN’s panel of fantasy football experts would rate Cook.
As you would probably imagine, Cook is seen as one of the top running backs in fantasy football. The ESPN panel has him as the 6th ranked running back heading into this season, trailing...

On Tuesday, I co-hosted ‘One Bills Live’ with Steve Tasker, and because the Buffalo Bills’ new studio in the field house is still under construction, we filmed the live show at the Bills Store on Abbott Road.
I’ve been to the Bills Store in July before, and every instance was the exact same — maybe a dad and son standing outside to take a picture in front of the (now old) stadium, maybe 3-4 people inside the store (if that) perusing Bills gear of many sorts.
This July experience inside the Bills Store was different. Significantly different.
Because of construction...
