Bills named as top landing spot for former second-round pick that could help turn everything around in 2026 and beyond
A perfect fit for Buffalo entering the 2026 season.
Cornerback is still a major need for the Buffalo Bills. First and foremost, Tre’Davious White should come back to the team on another one-year deal after what he was able to do on the field in 2025 — he should have been nominated for comeback player of the year; he was that good.
However, he’s aging, and the Bills have some question marks at the position. Yes, they have cornerbacks Christian Benford and Maxwell Hairston, but a few injuries put them in a dire position.
They need some depth, and A to Z Sports has the perfect fit in the latest cornerback mock with the available free agents. While it’s not the flashy move of signing a true No. 1 wide receiver, it’s a necessary move considering the folks behind Benford and Hairston, no offense.
A to Z Sports mentions Bengals’ Cam Taylor-Britt as a potential fit for Buffalo
The crew here had Britt as the seventh-best cornerback listed, with the Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, and Indianapolis Colts as the three best fits. He had multiple suitors at the trade deadline, and should have the same reaction from teams once the free agency window opens up. General manager Brandon Beane should absolutely be calling to see what it would take to bring him in.
“Just a few years ago, CM Taylor-Britt looked like a potential breakout player on the brink of becoming a star CB in the NFL. Things can quickly change in this league, though, and he found himself, for all intents and purposes, benched by the Bengals in 2025.
“A change of scenery feels like a necessity at this point for Taylor-Britt, and with him set to hit free agency, it appears he will get just that. He has the flexibility to play on the outside or in the slot. He was a player multiple teams targeted at the trade deadline, and I suspect he will have multiple interested suitors in free agency as well.” — Destin Adams
Cam Taylor-Britt has had a successful career with the Cincinnati Bengals
The four-year veteran was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft with the 60th overall selection. The 5-11, 196-pound cornerback quickly became a key part of the Bengals’ secondary in his rookie year, developing into a starter by his second season.
Throughout his career with the Bengals, he’s played in 47 career games with seven interceptions, two of which he took back for touchdowns, 38 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, half a sack, and 203 combined tackles. That’s exactly the type of production you want out of your cornerback.
John Sheeran from A to Z Sports Cincinnati broke down what type of player Taylor-Britt is, and new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard has to be thrilled with his analysis.
“Cam Taylor-Britt was once viewed as the next No. 1 cornerback in Cincinnati. Ironically, that belief was solidified with his performance against the Bills in the 2023 Divisional Round. That future became fractured in 2024 when he was benched twice, and his play remained inconsistent in an injury-shortened 2025.
“Taylor-Britt never quite took the mental step forward as a reliable teammate. He needs a fresh start as the Bengals will be moving on from him. There’s talent still there, but the Bills and any other interested teams need to be wary of where his head is at. A proven-it deal feels like a must.” — John Sheeran, A to Z Sports Cincinnati
If White returns on a short-term deal, pairing him with Benford and Hairston while adding a player like Cam Taylor-Britt suddenly turns a position of concern from a depth perspective into a legitimate strength. That’s how you survive a 17-game season and withstand injuries.
Buffalo doesn’t need another headline-grabbing splash; it needs stability, versatility, and competition.
Taylor-Britt checks every box.
If Brandon Beane truly wants to give quarterback Josh Allen and this team a real shot at getting over the hump in 20256, reinforcing the secondary the right way might quietly be one of the smartest moves he makes all offseason.
