The Buffalo Bills will open their offseason workout program on Tuesday at the team’s training facility in Orchard Park, with new head coach Joe Brady taking the reins. The team’s organized training regimen is voluntary, but many of the Bills’ key contributors are expected to attend. Buffalo is permitted to open its program two weeks before most other NFL teams due to Brady being a first-year head coach.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/p>\n

This offseason program marks the start of a critical 2026 campaign for the Bills, as they look to get over the hump and make a deep playoff run. With Brady bringing a new energy and approach, the team will begin to shape its identity under the new coaching staff.<\/p>\n

The details<\/p>\n

During Phase One of the process, the Bills will be limited to meetings, strength and conditioning work, and physical rehabilitation. They will then host a veteran minicamp from Apr. 20-22 before moving to Phase Two, which includes on-field workouts at a walk-through pace. Finally, Phase Three will feature up to 10 days of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) with 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. The team will wrap up its offseason with a three-day mandatory minicamp from June 9-11.<\/p>\n
