The Buffalo Bills haven’t had a swashbuckling offseason, but they didn’t really need to; they just needed to add some key pieces to the roster.
DJ Moore and Bradley Chubb are two signings that Bills Mafia hopes will push this team forward in the postseason.
Still with Josh Allen at the helm and a handful of good weapons, coupled with Jim Leonhard taking over the defense, Buffalo feels stable, and that means it should be in the thick of the Super Bowl conversation.
But what grade do the Bills get for their offseason of work?
CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan has given them a B.
“It’s not the most robust offseason, but Buffalo made calculated additions that should address the most dire needs on its roster in 2025,” Sullivan wrote. “Paired with a new voice in Brady, that’s a solid offseason in Orchard Park.”

Bills primed for playoff breakthrough?
They do, but I feel like I’ve seen saying that for the past three seasons, and yet, when it comes to pushing all the chips into the middle of the table, they fail.
Last year, it was Allen’s turnovers against Denver that broke Buffalo, and when your best player plays poorly, you are swimming upstream.
But as we look ahead to 2026, the Bills once again have all the tools needed to make a deep playoff run. The question is, will they?
The pressure only increases each year, and after firing Sean McDermott, it’s Brady’s job to do what he couldn’t.
All eyes are on Buffalo.
