Aug 24, 2024; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Buffalo Bills linebacker Joe Andreessen (44) tackles Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette (11)

On Saturday, the Buffalo Bills and Andreessen agreed to a two-year, $5 million extension with $3 million guaranteed. So, what does this mean for the future of the Dorian Williams, Sam Franklin, and Keonta Jenkins with the Buffalo Bills?

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (86) makes a catch for a first down against Detroit Lions during the second half at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026.

Dalton Kincaid has had an impressive start to his 2026 campaign, emerging as an elite pass catching option for the Buffalo Bills. His stats through two weeks are a historic pace for a tight end, and he has the chance to set a franchise record this season.

Sep 13, 2026; Houston, Texas, USA; Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (17) at the line of scrimmage during the game against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium

Explosive plays, EPA, and improbable completions - Josh Allen had it all on Sunday against the Houston Texans.

Dec 19, 2021; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Buffalo Bills guard Cody Ford (74) following the game against the Carolina Panthers at Highmark Stadium.

Aug 22, 2026; Cleveland, Ohio, USA; Buffalo Bills center Sedrick van Pran-Granger (62) during the second half at Huntington Bank Field.

After the Chargers lost starting center Tyler Biadasz for the season, could they be interested in trading for Sedrick Van Pran-Granger from the Bills? SVPG likely won't make the team given the investments into the interior offensive line.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Shaq Thompson sacks Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix who kept the ball and was going to run with it during first half action at Empower FIeld at Mile High in Denver, Colorado on Jan. 17, 2026.

ESPN's Field Yates named Buffalo Bills' fourth round pick Kaleb Elarms-Orr as a player that could make an immediate impact as a rookie. Skyler Bell gets an honorable mention as a productive player in college at UConn who could also be a high-impact rookie
