The Buffalo Bills are entering their first season with Joe Brady, who has replaced longtime head coach Sean McDermott at the helm. The Bills haven't really had bad seasons lately, but they obviously haven't gone all the way.
That's the only goal here: get to the Super Bowl. Win the Super Bowl. It's do or die at this point, and that's one reason McDermott got let go. The Bills felt that strongly about having to shake things up to get a Super Bowl win.
But, Josh Allen and the Bills' time may be limited in getting a Super Bowl championship.
Buffalo Bills' Super Bowl window may be closing
Aaron Schatz at ESPN has a feature out on Sunday naming a handful of NFL teams who will have their best shot to win a Super Bowl this year and then a more difficult chance after this season. "There are teams in the NFL that are building for the future with youth, and there are teams that are investing to win it all right now," he says.
The Bills are on here. It's partly because the team is 30th in the NFL in 2027 cap space, "and they're going to have difficulty climbing out of that hole," he notes.
"The good news is that the Bills won't have many of their own free agents to re-sign after the 2026 season," he adds. "No player who played at least 50% of snaps for the Bills last season is still on the roster with a contract that ends after this season."
So, that's good, but there's also Allen, who's 30, and under pressure in his ninth season to finally get this team to the big game. So, it's really a make-or-break season for the Bills.
