The Buffalo Bills once saw linebacker Matt Milano as the future of the team's defense after an All-Pro season in 2022. But as the injuries have piled up, so too have the future concerns for the organization.

The Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Joshua Palmer to a three-year, $29 million contract early in free agency. The rumor mill hasn’t stopped spinning, however, and now it sounds like general manager Brandon Beane may be trying to land another high-profile offensive playmaker.

Landon Jackson is a player to keep in mind for the Buffalo Bills at the 2025 NFL draft. That is according to the player himself. It was already known that Jackson met with Buffalo during the combine. The Arkansas defensive end has said he's spoke to them many more times than that.

ESPN's Ben Solak has the Buffalo Bills with a free agency rank well above the Ravens, Bengals and Chiefs.

The Bills have already extended the contracts of several players, but running back James Cook is not yet one of them.

In that, Shakir's salary cap hit remains low in the first year and then jumps up. According to Over The Cap, those cap hits are:

Cook has been a Pro Bowl selection in each of the last two seasons, both years with over 1,000 rushing yards. Cook is also coming off a career-high 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024.
