Best remaining free agent targets for the Bills after the 2026 NFL Draft include a handful of reunions that could help get Buffalo over the hump
The Buffalo Bills, on paper, got better on both sides of the football with the 2026 NFL Draft. Still, there are several team needs that need to be addressed. Here are some of the best remaining free agent targets still on the board, including more than a handful of potential reunions.
The Buffalo Bills took care of business, addressing both sides of the football with the 2026 NFL Draft. From T.J. Parker to Skyler Bell, the team got much better on paper.

With the draft over, we wanted to take a look at the best remaining free agents that the Buffalo Bills could target after the 2026 NFL Draft. Make sure to leave a comment letting us know which player you’d hope Buffalo would bring in to play in 2026.
Best remaining free agents for the Buffalo Bills
Interior defensive line
- DJ Reader
- Shelby Harris
- Calais Campbell
Stop the run and get after the quarterback. Buffalo was one of the worst teams in the NFL in stopping the run, and it’s in part due to the interior of the defensive line. Buffalo could bring in DJ Reader, and then could be set at the position. That, or Campbell, looks like a good option on a cheap one-year deal. Nevertheless, expect Buffalo to add to that room in the offseason as well.
EDGE
- Von Miller
- Joey Bosa
- Leonard Floyd
- AJ Epenesa
Von Miller expressed that he wants to rejoin the organization in 2026, saying that the Bills are going to win the Super Bowl. He had nine sacks with the Washington Commanders and proved to still have some gas left in the tank. Bosa played well during the regular season for Buffalo and finished second on the team in sacks. Still, he was invisible in the postseason. Buffalo is going to try to get after the quarterback, and a reunion with Floyd or Epenesa could be another move on Beane’s radar. Expect them to add to the room.
Linebacker
- Bobby Okereke
- Bobby Wagner
- Matt Milano
- Shaq Thompson
Can we just have all of these dudes come to Buffalo? Milano and Thompson played great in 2025 and would be relatively cheap to bring back to the organization. However, watching Bobby Okereke play football is more than a little exciting. If Beane could pull off bringing him to Buffalo, the entire defense would be better because of it. Wishful thinking, maybe, but Okereke has been someone on our radar for months now.
Cornerback
- L’Jarius Sneed
- Trevon Diggs
- Rasul Douglas
- Tre’Davious White
Some reunions could be in order. General manager Brandon Beane said that cornerback was the biggest area of focus heading into the draft, and we have a feeling the team is not done yet adding to that room. At first glance, White is our best selection here. He knows the team and played well in 2025. Get him on a cheap one-year deal and call it a day. Still, a reunion with Douglas could be enticing as well.
Wide receiver
- Brandin Cooks
- Deebo Samuel
- Gabe Davis
- Keenan Allen
- DeAndre Hopkins
This is just wishful thinking, but we hope that Buffalo brings back either Cooks or Davis on a cheap one-year deal. Deebo Samuel is a stretch, and the fan base has already shown that they have no interest in him joining the team. Hopkins is a fun thought, simply because in the past he’s talked about Buffalo in great length and got the hopes up of the Bills Mafia before deciding to join the Tennessee Titans. Still, Cooks or Davis is the move.
