Buffalo Rumblings • • sports
Key Points:
- The Buffalo Bills are expected to retain 12 of their top 13 offensive players from last season, with minimal changes anticipated on offense heading into the 2026 season.
- Defensive roles remain uncertain due to new coordinator Jim Leonhard's scheme, leading to a more fluid roster and depth chart on that side of the ball.
- The quarterback situation is set with Josh Allen and his brother Jordan Allen as starters, and Shane Buechele as the third-string QB.
- The competition for the final wide receiver spot is likely between Sherfield and Mecole Hardman, with special teams contributions possibly deciding the roster spot.
- Key defensive battles include competition at linebacker and safety positions, with the team expected to add a veteran inside linebacker soon and some players facing roster uncertainty based on performance and scheme fit.
