Week 2: Buffalo Bills at New York Jets Preview
The Buffalo Bills fresh off their Sunday Night Football comeback over the Ravens travel to New Jersey for an AFC East battle with the 0-1 New York Jets. Can Josh Allen keep his hot streak going and make it four consecutive victories versus the division rival?
Three Keys to the Bills’ 2025 Campaign
Hard Knocks is over, the 53-man roster is set (for now), and everyone is patiently waiting for Sunday Night Football to kick off the season. It’s another year of high expectations for the Bills, and, like many of the Bills Mafia, I am ready to see how the 2025 Buffalo Bills will respond after their second AFC Championship loss and fourth playoff exit to the Kansas City Chiefs. Here are my three key thoughts as to why 2025 is the year that the Bills will finally lift the Lombardi trophy.
Week 1: Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills Preview
The Buffalo Bills kick off the 2025 regular season and Highmark Stadiums’ Farewell Season, with a Sunday Night Football clash with the Baltimore Ravens. This preview will cover the key storylines, injury news, matchups to watch, x-factors, and my keys to victory and prediction.
Final 53: Predicting the Buffalo Bills Roster Ahead of Cutdown Day
NFL cutdown day is upon us. By 4 PM tomorrow, every team must trim its roster to 53 players, and the Buffalo Bills are no exception. Below is my projection for who makes the final cut in Orchard Park, and what players Bills fans may see on the Practice Squad.
On the Bubble: Players with the Most At Stake in Tampa.
The Buffalo Bills head into their final preseason game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Saturday night with a lot of questions yet to be answered for Bills Mafia. Coach McDermott announced yesterday that Josh Allen will not be playing, making it the first time in his career that he will not play in a preseason game. It will be interesting to see how many more starters accompany him on the sideline.
Hold-In Over: James Cook Signs 4-Year Extension
The James Cook drama has come to an end, less than a month away from the Bills’ season opener vs the Baltimore Ravens, as he and the Buffalo Bills have agreed on a four-year contract extension.
Buffalo Bills Trade Block Candidates
While writing my recent key takeaways blog, I thought a few players may be on the trade block before the 2025 season kicks off. The Bills have bolstered their roster this offseason, particularly the defensive line. A few players are entering the final year of their current contracts, and players behind them are waiting for an opportunity. Buffalo also needs some cap relief, as they currently have $2.6 million in space.
Post Draft Takeaways For the 2025 Buffalo Bills
It’s been a little over a week since the draft concluded, and I used that time to learn more about the 9 new members of the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo drafted five straight defenders and finished using six of their nine selections on the defensive side of the ball. The message became pretty clear with how the front office and coaching staff viewed the roster, and their plan to address it going into the 2025 season.
Buffalo Bills 2025 NFL Draft Grades
The grades are in! The ever important draft grades from people outside the organization made before the players ever take a snap are flowing in, and while I mock the process, I am dedicating my time to reading and reviewing them.
Buffalo Bills Draft Targets: Day 3
I like what Brandon Beane has done so far and loved the trade with Chicago that moved them up in Round 2 while also gaining a third-round pick. I anticipate him maneuvering around the board more on day 3. The Bills are entering Saturday with seven selections.

This is my live draft pick tracker for the Buffalo Bills 2025 draft selections.
Mock Draft Roundup
I used to be a big fan of mock drafts. Over the past few years, that passion has waned with the oversaturation of every NFL analyst feeling the need to contribute (see below). Because of that, I chose to conduct two mock drafts: one without any Bills trades and one with.
Buffalo Bills Draft Targets: Day 1
Today, I will cover the players I hope are in play when the Bills make their first-round pick, and what I predict will happen with their first-round selection. I don’t know their draft board, and I don't have access to all the medical information, so this is strictly based on what I believe the needs are for the Buffalo Bills and the players I believe fill those needs.
2025 NFL Draft: Trade Scenarios
We are less than a week away from the NFL draft, and like most Bills fans, I am wondering what Brandon Beane has up his sleeve. Below, I will present three scenario types that I can see happening based on how the board falls and what the Bills will do with the draft capital they have.
Free Agency Review
It has been four weeks since free agency started, and we are two weeks away from the first round of the NFL Draft. I do not anticipate a lot of roster activity between now and the draft starting for the Buffalo Bills, so I feel now is a good time to reflect on what they have done over the last month.
Free Agency Additions: The Running Back and Wide Receiver Position
Similar to how I broke down the defensive line and secondary additions, this blog will cover the additions to the running back and wide receiver positions. These two positions were at the bottom of my priorities list compared to the additions I felt the team needed to make on the defensive side of the ball.
Offseason Priorities: Addressing the CB and WR Rooms
The Buffalo Bills need to make some additions in Free Agency or the draft at the cornerback and wide receiver positions. The cornerback position has some premier names available, some relatively young to hit the free agent market. Wide receiver is a position of need again as Buffalo currently has six receivers under contract, three of whom were practice squad regulars.
Offseason Priorities: Re-Signing Bills Free Agents
The Buffalo Bills enter the offseason in a much better situation than they have over the past few years after the league announced a salary cap increase of $23.8 million. Buffalo is about $10 million over the cap compared to the $41 million they were last offseason, and they have 12 unrestricted free agents this year compared to the 22 they had in 2024.
Offseason Priorities: Extension Eligible Players
I touched on a list of players drafted by the Bills last year who I believed had earned a contract extension already or would warrant one after this season. Spencer Brown received his at the start of last season, and it’s already looking like a bargain. The five other names I wrote about in that blog have not signed a new deal yet. Shakir joined Brown on Tuesday with his second contract.
15 Million Dollar Man?
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook made some headlines this week by pinning a comment on his Instagram livestream, saying, “15 mill year.” Subsequently, Cook has unfollowed the team on social media. This new move used by athletes in recent years is particularly common during contract negotiations and when the player is unhappy with how things are going.
