The Buffalo Bills have already locked up a long list of core pieces, but the next wave of extension talk could be just as important. After a 2025 offseason that brought new deals for Josh Allen, Greg Rousseau, Terrel Bernard, Christian Benford, Khail Shakir, James Cook and Connor McGovern, general manager Brandon Beane has spent plenty of capital on keeping the roster intact. That leaves less room to maneuver now, but it also sets up a few obvious candidates who could be next in line after the 2026 season.
Dalton Kincaid is one of them. The former 2023 first-round pick has flashed real value as a pass-catching tight end, piling up 156 catches for 1,692 yards and nine touchdowns through his first three seasons.
The issue has not been production alone, but availability. He has yet to prove he can hold up for all 17 games and sustain that level over a full season.
Even so, the Bills already exercised his fifth-year option, so they have two more seasons to see how far his game can go before deciding whether a longer commitment makes sense.
If there’s one player who looks like the cleanest extension candidate, it’s O’Cyrus Torrence. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound guard has become a steady force on the right side, helping create lanes for Cook and giving Allen cleaner answers on screen passes and those crucial third-and-long scrambles.
Buffalo has made a clear habit of paying for continuity up front since 2023, and the offensive line already has long-term deals in place for Dion Dawkins, Spencer Brown and Connor McGovern. With David Edwards gone in free agency, four of the five starting spots are still set to return - and Torrence looks like the remaining name that should be next.
Then there’s Dorian Williams, who has quietly built a case through volume and effort. He’s totaled 220 tackles in his first three NFL seasons, and there’s a chance Jim Leonhard’s aggressive 3-4 scheme suits him better than the 4-3 look Sean McDermott used before.
At 6-foot-1 and 228 pounds, Williams may not fit the classic mold for a thumping 3-4 linebacker, but he does bring speed and explosion at the second level, especially against the run. If his numbers tick up in a defense that plays more to his strengths, he could easily become extension-worthy - even if that also makes rookie Kaleb Elarms-Orr a name to watch on the roster bubble when training camp opens.

Stevie Johnson Just Raised The Stakes For Keon Coleman In Buffalo
Keon Coleman enters this season with more to prove than most third-year receivers, and the backdrop from last year still lingers. He was a healthy scratch for multiple games, his name popped up in trade speculation, and the noise around him only grew after the owners unusual comments, turning what should have been a developmental year into a test of patience and professionalism.
Now he is spending time with Stevie Johnson, one of the more productive receivers in Bills history, in an effort to sharpen the details of his game and reset the conversation. Johnson has been openly bullish on Colemans ceiling, and Buffalos new staff has signaled belief too, with Joe Brady planning to make him a major part of the offseason and Josh Allen voicing confidence in what Coleman can become.

Bills Fans Should Watch This Receiver Battle More Closely Than Expected
Stephen Gosnells path through Buffalo has already followed the familiar undrafted-receiver route: sign, stick around, keep developing, and try to turn offseason reps into something more meaningful. After spending the 2025 season on the practice squad, the wideout is back in the Bills pipeline on a reserve/future deal and was part of offseason workouts heading toward 2026, which keeps him on the radar even if he is still more of a project than a roster lock.
The wider interest here is less about whether Gosnell crashes the 53-man roster and more about how Buffalo chooses to keep grooming him if he doesnt. A return to the practice squad remains a real possibility, and a gameday elevation during the season would not be out of the question if he continues to show growth. For a receiver group that always seems to have one or two jobs open to the right developmental player, Gosnell is the kind of name worth watching a little more closely than his current status suggests.

Bills Fans May Not Have Realized They Just Saw This Pass Rusher's End
Joey Bosas one-year run in Buffalo may already stand as the last chapter of a decorated career, even if nothing has been officially announced. The five-time Pro Bowler gave the Bills real impact last season, staying on the field for 15 games and helping set the tone off the edge with production that fit exactly what Buffalo wanted from a veteran pass rusher.
The Bills have moved quickly to reshape that group since then, adding Bradley Chubb and drafting T.J. Parker to reinforce the pass rush. Bosa remains unsigned as free agency moves on, and for a player who once looked like a premium difference-maker, the longer he stays on the market, the more his lone season in Buffalo starts to look like the end of the line.
