There still remains a large collection of former Buffalo Bills sitting in free agency, even after Taylor Rapp signed with the Broncos. Among them is Tre'Davious White, despite a statistically successful 2025 season.

Jan 22, 2023; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle DJ Reader (98) checks on Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (17) after a hit in the fourth quarter during an AFC divisional round game at Highmark Stadium

The 2022 Buffalo Bills had an elite offense, defense, and special teams, but external factors ultimately left the team struggling mentally. They fell to the Bengals 27-10 in the Divisional Round

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.

The Buffalo Bills could look to replicate the success of signing Shaq Thompson late last offseason by adding Bobby Okereke, Germaine Pratt, Bobby Wagner, or re-signing Shaq Thompson this offseason.

Sep 20, 2025; Fort Worth, Texas, USA; TCU Horned Frogs linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr (3) rushes the line during the game between the TCU Horned Frogs and the SMU Mustangs

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

Dec 14, 2025; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III (4) reacts after scoring a touchdown against the New England Patriots

Aaron Schatz incorrectly categorized left guard as the biggest roster hole for the Buffalo Bills. With an overly saturated field of competitors to win the starting spot (Alec Anderson, Austin Corbett, etc), Buffalo's biggest need is actually linebacker.

Dec 20, 2025; College Station, TX, USA; Texas A&M Aggies defensive end Cashius Howell (9) lines up during the game between the Aggies and the Hurricanes

The Buffalo Bills are still waiting to make their first selection after trading down three times while on the clock on Thursday. The Bills could select Kayden McDonald, Christen Miller, Cashius Howell, or Gabe Jacas with one of their Day 2 picks.

Jan 4, 2026; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (0) runs after making a catch against the New York Jets in the third quarter at Highmark Stadium.

It's no secret that Keon Coleman's future is uncertain with the Buffalo Bills, despite the efforts of Joe Brady and Brandon Beane to project confidence towards the third-year wide receiver.

The NFL Draft gives teams the opportunity to bolster any remaining roster holes remaining after free agency. Here's how Buffalo Bills' GM Brandon Beane can complete the list this weekend

The Buffalo Bills are in spring-cleaning mode when it comes to the state of their roster. Ahead of free agency, the Bills announced the release of veteran cornerback Dane Jackson.

Dec 29, 2024; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver (91) celebrates a sack against the New York Jets in the third quarter at Highmark Stadium

ESPN Insider Dan Graziano shared what he heard at the NFL Combine about Ed Oliver trade rumors, and if Connor McGovern and David Edwards are expected to re-sign with Buffalo.

Feb 25, 2026; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez (LB21) speaks during the NFL Scouting Combine at the Indiana Convention Center. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images

Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano have influenced one of the top linebacker prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez explained that he models his game after the Buffalo Bills' linebackers while speaking to the media at the NFL Combine.
