I disagree. It’s not a one player away move if you’re attempting to add a weapon for Josh Allen. Because if the defense doesn’t improve, the offense will have even more pressure to carry the load for the team. Can’t do that with the way that WR room is constructed right now.

Depending on the compensation I’d guess the Saints would take on the majority of this year’s money. Bills could decide on extension in the offseason.

This Bills receiver is creating the most separation on the team but barely getting the ball Despite being Buffalo's best separator, Joshua Palmer has seen his targets and playing time decrease significantly compared to his 2024 season with the Chargers.

Bills WR Joshua Palmer had 9 targets in the opener vs. Baltimore. Since then, a combined 9 in the last 4 games.

Palmer spoke after practice yesterday about where he is in the offense and how he's staying patient while he waits for more opportunities.

Bills’ Cole Bishop’s one-handed interception might be turning point in his season Bishop hauled in the first interception of his career in win over Saints.

Terrel Bernard found Cole Bishop after his 1st NFL interception to deliver a message:

"He saved points. That play that really changed the game.”

Bernard said the Bills know Bishop is going to continue to get better - and they need him to do just that. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Sean says there’s a chance he’ll be back next week. Doesn’t know what kind of chance but that the door is open, IR likely not in play. Plus they can elevate DTs for 3 weeks if they had to.
