Analyst has incredible hopes for Bills in 2026 after free agency splurge

The Buffalo Bills have had the sort of offseason fans had hoped for, with the franchise adding key pieces at key positions in free agency.

Yes, DJ Moore and Bradley Chubb were expensive, but the Bills are banking on talented veterans to help lift the floor of the team and give them the best chance at Super Bowl glory.

Of course, we thought that last year, too, but the Bills have given Allen another weapon and got a star pass rusher in Chubb.

For Sports Illustrated's Gilberto Manzano, he has a rather bold take on what the Bills can do in 2026 after their free agency spending.

"The Bills got risky with paying older players plenty of guaranteed money," Manzano wrote. "Still, they addressed most of their needs and now have a formidable Super Bowl roster, one that doesn’t need Josh Allen to be Superman every week."

Bills Super Bowl bound?

It is impossible to say, but right now, you can easily say the Bills are in the upper echelon of teams fighting for the Lombardi trophy.

Granted, as long as Josh Allen is upright, the Bills are in contention.

But we don't care what Buffalo does in the regular season anymore; it's all about the playoffs.

That makes the regular season tough to navigate, as all eyes will be on what the Bills do when the postseason begins.

Have the signings of Chubb and Moore moved the needle? 

That is quite a conversation starter.
