Bills | Brian Daboll interviews with Buffalo Thu Jan 22, 02:02 PM
Former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll interviewed for the head coaching vacancy of the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Daboll did great things with Josh Allen when he was previously with the Bills as their OC. He's getting plenty of interest as an offensive coordinator this offseason, and Daboll did get interest from the Titans for their head coaching vacancy. Going back to Buffalo, this time as the head coach, might be the best landing spot. |
Bills | Josh Allen may need foot surgery Wed Jan 21, 11:51 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) might need a foot procedure in the offseason, according to general manager Brandon Beane.
| Footballguys view: The operation would not keep him out long enough to jeopardize his participation in OTAs. However, the Bills might choose to ease him into action during the offseason. After years of falling short with Sean McDermott, Allen is looking to make (and win) a Super Bowl for the first time in his career. |

Link to story Bills | Sean McDermott was critical of roster Tue Jan 20, 11:38 AM
Former Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott highlighted roster weaknesses in a meeting with general manager Brandon Beane and team owner Terry Pegula five weeks ago, but sources said neither Beane nor Pegula was pleased with McDermott's assessment. There are unnamed players that held McDermott in high regard that are skeptical of the decision to fire McDermott.
| Footballguys view: Despite the common outside view that Josh Allen's supporting cast was what has mainly held the Bills back in their Super Bowl quest, WGRZ's Vic Carucci contends Beane managed to convince Pegula that coaching was the primary culprit. Carucci went on to suggest that how he pulled that off is hard to understand, considering McDermott might very well have done the best work of his career in leading the Bills to a 12-5 record with glaring weaknesses at wide receiver and on the defensive line. Whatever the case, the search for McDermott's replacement is on. |
Bills | Three players sign future contracts Mon Jan 19, 04:43 PM

Bills | James Cook had running room in 2025 Mon Jan 19, 02:08 PM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook had a league-leading 935 rushing yards before contact during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Cook finished 2025 with 1,621 yards rushing, topping all NFL RBs. He was also second among running backs in yards per carry (minimum five games played), with a rate of 5.2 yards per attempt during the regular season. Cook, who finished the season as RB6 with 18.1 points per game, ended up with 12 games with 100-plus scrimmage yards (tied for most in the NFL), and the Bills were 11-1 in those games. They were 1-4 when he had fewer than 100 yards, further proving his worth to that offense. He'll be drafted as an RB1 in 2026. |
Bills | Brandon Beane promoted Mon Jan 19, 11:07 AM
Buffalo BIlls general manager Brandon Beane was promoted to president of football operations Monday, Jan. 19.
| Footballguys view: With Buffalo showing long-term confidence in Beane, he not only has received more responsibilities, but the move also illustrates owner Terry Pegula's trust in Beane's abilities and view of the organization. What the promotion will also do is put a spotlight on the work he is doing if the team falls short again. Beane, 49, now has full control of the football side of the team, which is a sign he will have more time with the new coach -- after he hires one -- to put in place whatever changes he sees fit. |
Bills | Sean McDermott fired after nine years as head coach Mon Jan 19, 09:44 AM
The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott following nine years helming the team. McDermott's firing comes after the Buffalo Bills fell in the Divisional Round against the Denver Broncos in overtime on Saturday.
| Footballguys view: McDermott won 106 games over nine years in Buffalo, including playoffs. But another disappointing playoff exit has change coming to Buffalo. The Bills are retaining GM Brandon Beane, who will help lead the team's first coaching search since 2017. The Bills' firing of McDermott makes it 10 total head-coaching openings, with the Giants' hiring of John Harbaugh and the Falcons' hiring of Kevin Stefanski filling two so far. As NFL Network's Mike Garafolo suggested, this is as wild a firing and hiring cycle as we've seen in quite some time, if ever. |
Bills | Buffalo bounced from playoffs in overtime Sat Jan 17, 08:17 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 25 of his 39 pass attempts for 283 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in a 33-30 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round. He added 12 carries for 66 yards and lost two fumbles, and RB James Cook rushed 24 times for 117 yards, caught two passes for 24 yards and lost a fumble. RB Ray Davis didn't log a carry, but he did catch two passes for 33 yards. TE Dalton Kincaid caught six passes for a team-high 83 yards and a score, and WR Khalil Shakir finished with 75 receiving yards on a team-high seven receptions. WR Keon Coleman caught a 10-yard touchdown, and WR Mecole Hardan hauled in a four-yard score. TE Dawson Knox added three receptions for 32 yards, and WR Brandin Cooks caught two passes for 20 yards. S Cole Bishop recorded a team-high 12 tackles, including seven solo stops and two tackles for loss, and CB Cam Lewis finished with 10 tackles and two passes defensed.
| Footballguys view: A team can't expect to turn the ball over five times and win on the road in the playoffs, and yet the Bills had multiple to chance to do just that despite being down 23-10 in the second half. This one will haunt Josh Allen the most, as he hadn't committed a turnover in a long time in the postseason coming into this game. The Bills will go into another offseason wondering how to keep this from happening again. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid set to play Thu Jan 15, 02:52 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee, calf) was limited in practice all week and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos defense struggles to stop (or even slow down) tight ends. Kincaid is a big part of what the Bills do through the air, and he could have a nice game in the Divisional Round. |

Bills | WR Tyrell Shavers suffered a torn ACL on Sunday Tue Jan 13, 04:01 PM
Bills WR Tyrell Shavers has torn his ACL, per coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: It's another massive hit to an already battered wide receiver room. Gabe Davis also suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, and Joshua Palmer went on IR last week. That leaves Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks, and Keon Coleman as Buffalo's top healthy receivers. However, Curtis Samuel (elbow) was designated for return to practice on Tuesday and could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver. For Shavers, the timing of this injury makes it likely he'll not be ready for the start of the 2026 season. |

Bills | Matt Prater might practice more this week Tue Jan 13, 12:40 AM
Buffalo Bills PK Matt Prater (quadriceps) 'is in a good spot', head coach Sean McDermott said Monday, Jan. 12, as he recovers from a quadriceps injury. Prater is expected to practice somewhat similar to last week, though he might increase reps a little more this week.
| Footballguys view: Prater was limited to field goals and extra point attempts in the AFC Wild Card game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Punter Mitch Wishnowsky handled kickoffs. We'll be watching for more. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid expected to be fine Tue Jan 13, 12:38 AM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (undisclosed) was wearing a walking boot after the Wild Card playoff game, but head coach Sean McDermott said Kincaid should be fine for the Divisional Round game.
| Footballguys view: Great news considering the potential outcomes. The tight end has missed five regular-season contests in total due to various injuries, including to his oblique and hamstring. Still, Kincaid has remained as one of the Bills' top targets in the passing game, finishing the regular season second on the team in yards receiving (571) and first in touchdowns receiving with five. During Buffalo's win over the Jaguars in the Wild Card Round, he recorded three receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown. We'll see if he's ready with a short turnaround to a Saturday game in Denver. |

Bills | Tyrell Shavers being evaluated Tue Jan 13, 12:37 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Tyrell Shavers (knee) is being evaluated after injuring his knee during the Wild Card playoff game, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: Shavers got hurt while returning a punt in the second quarter. He stayed down on the field after the play and was clearly in pain, but he was able to return to action. The 26-year-old wide receiver has appeared in every game for the Bills since the start of the regular season. We'll see if he can keep that streak going on a short week, with the Bills playing in Denver on Saturday. |

Bills | Gabe Davis suffered a torn ACL vs. Jaguars Mon Jan 12, 04:34 PM
Bills HC Sean McDermott told reporters that WR Gabe Davis suffered a torn ACL vs. the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: With Davis out, Keon Coleman and Tyrell Shavers could be asked to play greater roles against the Broncos on Saturday. Remember, the Bills were without RB Ty Johnson (ankle) in Jacksonville, and the team placed wide receiver Joshua Palmer on IR last week. In addition, CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson reported that Shavers (knee) got banged up. None of this is great news for a team playing on a short week. |

Bills | Gabe Davis to have MRI Mon Jan 12, 12:36 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Gabe Davis (knee) will have an MRI Monday, Jan. 12. His knee was so swollen that an initial diagnosis was difficult.
| Footballguys view: We'll be watching for more on Davis after the MRI. But even if it's not a season-ending injury, it'd be nearly impossible to imagine the six-year pro making a return in time for the AFC Divisional Round, as the Bills are set to play the Broncos in just five days in Denver. |

Bills | Buffalo advances to Divisional Round Sun Jan 11, 03:49 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen went 28-for-35 for 273 yards and one touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card playoff game and also rushed for 33 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries during the game. RB James Cook rushed for 46 yards on 15 carries and also caught two passes for five yards. WR Khalil Shakir caught 12 passes for 82 yards on 12 targets. WR Brandin Cooks caught three passes for 58 yards on five targets, while WR Keon Coleman caught one pass for 36 yards on one target. TE Dawson Knox caught three passes for 30 yards on three targets, while TE Dalton Kincaid caught three passes for 28 yards and one touchdown on five targets. LB Shaq Thompson recorded six solo tackles, eight total tackles and one interception during the game.
| Footballguys view: Allen was his typical superhero self in the postseason despite two trips to the medical tent. His decision making was cold-blooded and he created many of the best plays for the Bills pass offense with creativity and toughness. The Jaguars defense didn't have many lapses, but Allen had the look of a quarterback who is not going to be stopped on potential game-winning drives. The Jaguars excellent run defense predictably bottled up Cook, but he could have a big game against Denver next week. Shakir was "what the defense gave" Allen on many dropbacks, and he converted a few first downs with grit and guile. The team lost Gabe Davis to an injury during the game, but that didn't stop Allen from carrying them to victory. This might have been the toughest opponent they will face on the AFC side of the bracket. |

However, the injury is reportedly as good as it's been in quite some time. For Allen, it is a matter of pain tolerance and he is not at risk of sustaining further injury.
