The Buffalo Bills needed to make an effort to improve around quarterback Josh Allen during the 2026 NFL offseason.
They did their best. But was it enough? According to FOX Sports, the team did a 15th place job.
The outlet ranked the supporting cast around each starting quarterback in the NFL currently. That is where the Bills land in the poll.
The marquee move of Buffalo’s efforts to improve in that area involved wide receiver DJ Moore. The Bills landed him in a trade and the hope is he becomes the team’s top option for Allen.
If that proves true, the Bills could have among the league’s best supporting casts in 2026 because that would allow others on offense to flourish. It remains to be seen if that is the case.
FOX Sports’ breakdown on the Bills’ in 15th place can be found below:
Make no mistake: This is a Josh Allen-centered offense. “His supporting cast doesn’t matter,” one scout told me. “It’s all about him.” Well, RB James Cook does play a role, too. And he emerged as a huge force last season when he led the league in rushing, thanks at least in part to one of the NFL’s best offensive lines. But the passing game is really all about Allen, and the Bills seem to treat it that way.
“I’ll never understand why they just don’t go out and get (Allen) a No. 1 receiver,” another scout told me. “Put him with a top-10 guy and who stops that team? He’ll break every record in the book.” They did add D.J. Moore in the offseason, which is an improvement. But he’s 29 and three seasons removed from his WR1 days. Beyond him are mostly third and fourth receivers (Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Josh Palmer) and two serviceable tight ends (Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox). “They would be unstoppable,” the first scout told me, “if they’d just get (Allen) some real help.”
