Should the Bills be in on these available free agents?

By admin — In News — July 14, 2026

   ​Because there is literally nothing going in the NFL right now — the lone month-long break on the football calendar — ESPN’s Matt Bowen recently published a ranking of the best available free agents.We know many established veterans opt to sign with teams even a few days into training camp to lighten their offseason load before gearing up for another long, arduous season in the NFL, so this list is relevant for every fan base.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAnd it’s relevant here, for the Bills, because five members of Bowen’s list either piqued my interest for Buffalo or have Bills ties.Listed by Bowen as the No. 2 available free agent, about a month ago, we extensively covered the potential Diggs reunion. In that article centered around if the Bills should even want Diggs back, I finished with this:“Right now, a Bills-Diggs reunion is just a simmering rumor.Yet given I believe Diggs could serve as a dynamic underneath weapon with a strong rapport with Josh Allen — and provide on-field mentorship to Bell — it’s a rumor I’m definitely going to be closely monitoring.”Essentially, I believe Diggs could be an outstanding chain-mover with a clearly defined, you’re-not-the-No.1-anymore role with these Bills. The off-field troubles cannot be ignored, and clearing those are a prerequisite to my belief in Diggs as a useful piece in the Joe Brady offense.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementI’m moderately intrigued by the Diggs option.Bowen as Bosa as the third-best available free agent, and frankly, this is an option I’m not really in favor of whatsoever.Bosa was as advertised the first half of 2025. Then he hurt his wrist and hamstring and was a clear liability as a pass-rusher. Even when he was borderline dominant as a pass rusher — which is most important — Bosa was regularly making enormous mistakes on the edge as a run defender. Teams targeted him on the ground, and the veteran was too regularly caught out of position.He just turned 31 a few days ago, which isn’t ancient for a defensive end.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhile his most impactful play of the second half of the season came on a play he dropped into coverage to tip a pass in Buffalo’s furious comeback win over the Patriots in New England, I don’t love the idea of him with more regular coverage responsibilities in Jim Leonhard’s system than what was asked of him in Sean McDermott’s defense last season.I’m essentially totally out on a Bosa reunion for the Bills at this stage, although I don’t believe the team’s outside pass-rushing group is now completely fixed or suddenly tremendous due to the adds of Bradley Chubb and T.J. Parker.There were Samuel-to-Bills rumors during draft season that never materialized of course, and they always felt kind of strange, didn’t they?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Bills have an elite-level YAC wideout in Khalil Shakir. Was another one necessary? Probably not. Then again, havin
