It’s still early in the offseason, but it’s not too soon to take a careful look at the Buffalo Bills‘ roster construction. The Bills have made several moves over the past few months to round out their 91-player roster. It’s important to explore some possible concerns that exist ahead of training camp. 

Here are Bills Wire’s five questions regarding Buffalo’s offense at this point in the offseason:

How will the James Cook drama play out?

Running back James Cook had a breakout 2024 season. He rushed for 1,009 yards on 207 carries and 16 touchdowns. Cook added 258 receiving yards on 32 catches and two touchdowns.

He was arguably the second-most-dynamic player on Buffalo’s offense last year. Cook is in line for a massive pay raise.

However, reports from both Cook and the Bills front office indicate there is some definite space in the negotiation process. Cook alluded to a contract of $15 million per year on Instagram.

The Bills brass may believe this number is too rich. Nevertheless, the drama of this contract situation is going to play out through training camp and most likely, the season. 

Can Dalton Kincaid become one of the top receivers for the Bills?

If you follow the Bills closely, you heard about how Kincaid was a wide receiver who happened to play tight end.

With the Bills unable to lock down a top wideout in the 2023 draft, Buffalo turned its attention to one of the best pass-catchers in the draft. Kincaid had a strong rookie campaign, reeling in 73-of-91 targets for 673 yards and two touchdowns.

Injuries derailed the chance at a strong sophomore season, as Kincaid’s production dipped to 44 catches, 448 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. Training camp will be a good gauge to see Kincaid’s health and if he can return to his rookie form. 

How will the wide receiver room play out?

Buffalo brought in multiple receivers in 2024 to help bolster the wide out corps. However, injuries stalled out possibly productive seasons from two of the standouts, Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel.

The Bills added Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore to the receiving group via free agency. The hope is that health incumbents and along with skill-specific free agents, can give quarterback Josh Allen a slew of options that can attack any defense.

Outside of Khalil Shakir, the receiving group was largely inconsistent with their play last year. With so many options, the belief is that the sum of the group can put together a solid season. 

Can the offensive line repeat its great season?

Buffalo’s offensive line was one of the healthiest in the league last year. The group was cohesive; they rarely made mistakes, and the group had a superior understanding of the team’s scheme.

It was almost as if the group had a sixth sense of where to be on the field, even when Allen broke out of the pocket. The Bills led the NFL with 32 rushing touchdowns.

The unit won battles in short-yardage situations, and they were versatile enough to create space for downfield runs. Impressively, Connor McGovern’s move back to center paved the way for a wildly successful season.

Tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown are among the best in the league, while guards David Edwards and O’Cyrus Torrence were dominant in the middle of the line. 

What happens if Josh Allen gets hurt?

This is the “Doomsday scenario.

Allen is everything for the Bills, and it would be a lost season if Allen were to miss substantial time. Mitchell Trubisky can fill in for the short term. However, Allen’s skill set is far too valuable to be absent for an extended time. Buffalo needs to do everything in their power to make sure that Allen continues his streak of 105 consecutive regular-season starts without worry.
