The Buffalo Bills are heavy favorites in 2025 \u2014 that is, heavy favorites to win a lot, which of course includes the AFC East, and extend their current record five-straight division titles dating back to the 2024 NFL season. Since quarterback Josh Allen took full command, the franchise has been among the best in the league \u2014 in fact the Bills have made the playoffs every year with Allen other than his rookie season.<\/p>\n
The Bills have what many see as a loaded roster, which, in addition to Allen, includes running back James Cook and a stout offensive line. The team once again made over the wide receivers and defensive line groups, with hopes of finding better production out of both units.<\/p>\n
Time will tell if this is this is the roster finally capable of taking Buffalo to the Super Bowl. Bettors with FanDuel know that with Josh Allen in the picture, it\u2019s a good bet that they\u2019re at least in contention late into January.<\/p>\n
What roster additions have the Bills made in 2025?<\/p>\n
Buffalo was busy in the offseason, despite being tight to the salary cap. A 30,000-foot overview of the biggest roster changes\/additions follows below.<\/p>\n
Of the players Buffalo brought in on free-agent contracts, only six made the active roster in 2025. Of that group, two begin the season suspended six games (Hoecht and Ogunjobi), Evans was lost to season-ending IR, and the rest were released ahead of roster cutdowns.<\/p>\n
Buffalo took a defensive approach to their draft this past April, selecting players on that side of the ball with their first five picks. Overall the Bills made nine selections, with only two coming on offense. The team\u2019s top rookie, cornerback Maxwell Hairston, will begin the season on Injured Reserve (IR). Wide receiver Kaden Prather was placed on season-ending IR during the preseason.<\/p>\n
None of the players brought in as undrafted free agents made Buffalo\u2019s active roster, but many were still with the team right up until league cutdowns. Several may be brought back on the practice squad in 2025<\/p>\n
