The Buffalo Bills will kick off training camp on Wednesday, July 23, as they prepare for the 2025 season. We all know their last campaign didn't end the way they hoped, but they still have a strong roster capable of competing against any team in the NFL.

Buffalo returns the majority of their starters this season, and added several new players who are expected to make an impact — most of whom are on the defensive side of the ball. Still, they'll lean heavily on Josh Allen, James Cook, and the rest of the offense as they chase a title.

That being said, let's take a look at how their 53 man roster could look when Week 1 arrives.

There aren't many surprises throughout. There has been talk Mike White could supplant Mitch Trubisky as QB2, but the front office and coaching staff like Trubisky more than the general public. Cornerback and safety could be interesting positions to watch with several rookies battling for spots, and they have three make it in the secondary in this prediction.

Buffalo's toughest decisions will come when Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht return from suspension. They'll need to make room for both, but finding a spot for potential impact players after six weeks shouldn't be too difficult.
