Is it a bad sign that more than half of the Buffalo Bills' free agents from last season's roster haven't signed anywhere yet?
Maybe it suggests the 2025 Bills simply didn't have enough talent in the first place.
"The Buffalo Bills believed they had a Super Bowl-caliber roster last season," writes Ryan Miller of the Democrat & Chronicle. "The free agent market hasn't backed that up."
The Bills had 25 unrestricted free agents. Still 13 haven't signed.
Six of them got new contracts with the Bills, and five went elsewhere, while Darius Slay retired.
It's a fascinating list of players still available:
- Joey Bosa
- A.J. Epenesa
- DaQuan Jones
- Larry Ogunjobi
- Jordan Phillips
- Matt Milano
- Shaq Thompson
- Baylon Spector
- Jordan Poyer
- Tre'Davious White
- Brandin Cooks
- Gabe Davis
- Matt Prater

Epenesa is the one who came most close to signing already. He had a deal agreed to with the Cleveland Browns, but they chose not to go through with it after concerns about his physical.
That list does have a lot of aging, veteran players on it, the type of guys who may sign eventually but only once training camps arrive and team needs become a little more clear.
It wouldn't be surprising to see a few of these guys still come back to the Bills, particularly Brandin Cooks after president of football operations Brandon Beane suggested earlier this offseason that they could still bring the veteran WR back on board.
Still, it's quite the list. The Bills probably should learn some kind of lesson from this as they self-evaluate their roster decisions.
