The Bills have a few weeks to get cap compliant.

These are the five players I'm keeping my eye on.
Five players the Buffalo Bills have to make decisions on heading into the 2026 season
According to Spotrac.com, the Bills are currently over the projected 2026 salary cap by about $9 million, so they’re going to need to get creative.

Relationships, relationships, relationships. During our interview, Joe Brady shared why he believes he got the Bills head coaching job and where he goes from here. I enjoyed our chat and I hope you do too.

If you have 14 minutes, I very much recommend this insight from Mike Sanford on Jim Leonhard. Not only has he covered Leonhard in Denver, he coached against him when he was at Wisconsin.

Some really good stuff on Leonhard's philosophy & leadership ⤵️

You only get one chance at a first impression & I thought Joe Brady made the most of his.

I was impressed with what he said today. And I was equally impressed with what he didn't.

When your team has players like Josh Doan you win hockey games. He's been a perfect fit for the Sabres and that's why the team was so quick to give him an extension.

The Buffalo Bills need a head a coach.

These are the five names I believe they should be targeting. And a few candidates have really grown on me after doing some research.

This morning I went back & watched Sean McDermott’s introductory press conference from 2017. He defended Buffalo before he even coached a game here. It’s poetic that in his final press conference he did the same thing @7news-wkbw.bsky.social

With four minutes left the Bills got the ball back down 24-20.

Josh Allen had a message for his teammates:

"I love you all. I got you; you got me."

He had them alright.

Gabe Davis has more playoff touchdowns than all of the other Bills WRs combined. And he's going against the team that cut him after 10 games. I think Sunday we could see some splash plays from Gabe.

The Jags run defense is excellent. But don't expect the Bills to stop doing what's gotten them to this point.

James Cook can win the rushing title and Josh Allen can reach a notable milestone (again).

Here's what I think happens ⤵️⤵️⤵️
How much should Josh Allen & James Cook play in the Buffalo Bills regular season finale?
Josh Allen practiced for the first time on Friday as the Buffalo Bills prepare for the regular season finale against the New York Jets. But how much, if at all, will we see Josh Allen?

Sean McDermott was adamant after the game that when the game is on the line, he trusts Josh Allen to make a play.

Tonight that wasn't the case, but McDermott absolutely made the right decision.

I personally thought Sean McDermott's comments on the lack of continuity inside the Buffalo Bills WR room were the most interesting thing he said today. He knows they need more from the WR room down the stretch and hopes someone will step up @7news-wkbw.bsky.social
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott knows they need more from the WR room down the stretch
If Buffalo has any chance at winning the AFC East and hosting a playoff game, they’ll need to win out and hope the New England Patriots lose on their two remaining games.

Josh Allen’s first full practice of the week. He’s good to go for Sunday.
December 26, 2025 at 5:17 PM
Just win, baby.

The Bills didn't play particularly well and they still won. Despite the sloppiness, the result matters more than anything else.

Jarmo Kekalainen sounds like he has a plan. And more importantly, it sounds like he's going to have the ability to execute that plan the way he believes it should be done.

But could there be more changes coming? 🤔

I don't think it's hyperbolic to say Christian Benford has become one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. It's a nuanced conversation, but he continues to ascend.
Buffalo Bills CB Christian Benford is no longer underrated, he's becoming one of the best cornerbacks in NFL
When the Bills needed a play on Sunday, Benford delivered. He followed up his NFL Defensive Player of the Week performance against Pittsburgh with maybe an even more impressive game.

This is a hell of a quote from Dion Dawkins:

We all knew Christian Benford was very good.

But in the last month he’s taken his game to an entirely new level.
Buffalo Bills CB Christian Benford has taken his game to the next level, but his next test is the toughest yet
Benford had 23 coverage snaps against the Steelers and didn’t allow a single catch. He was in man coverage against DK Metcalf 10 times and pitched a shutout.

To me this is fairly simple.

In the past, injuries in the secondary have haunted the Bills.

This feels like an insurance policy behind Christian Benford, Tre'Davious White, and Maxwell Hairston.

So after being at practice today, I feel like Brandin Cooks plays on Sunday. But I don't feel the same about the tackles.

A whole lot to *digest* for the Bills this Thanksgiving.
