ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills' offseason changes have been lopsided.
The first indication came with the promotion of former offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach -- he will also continue to call plays in the role.
Most of the offensive starters remain under contract. Center Connor McGovern was re-signed. The new projected starters on offense will be wide receiver DJ Moore and whoever wins the battle at left guard, primarily between Alec Anderson and Austin Corbett. The 2026 NFL draft brought a new young receiver in the fourth round -- Skyler Bell -- and two backup offensive linemen.
By comparison, the turnover on the defensive side has been significant.
Many of the defensive players remain in the wake of Sean McDermott's firing. But, the roster has a few new veterans and is younger in terms of depth, something that president of football operations and general manager Brandon Beane acknowledged. A handful of veteran starters from last year's team remain free agents -- linebacker Matt Milano, cornerback Tre'Davious White and defensive ends Joey Bosa and AJ Epenesa.
For the second year in a row, the Bills used a majority of their draft picks on defense, using six of their 10 picks on the unit.
