🏢 Front Office & Cap Situation

General Manager

Brandon Beane

Head Coach

Joe Brady (promoted Jan. 2026 from OC)

Cap Space

$12.3M

Dead Cap

$46.2M

🔄 Key Offseason Moves

🟢 Key Arrivals

HC Joe Brady (promoted), EDGE Bradley Chubb (3yr/$43.5M), S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson (1yr/$6M), WR DJ Moore (traded to them...wait no BUF traded Moore to...)

🔴 Key Departures

HC Sean McDermott (fired), CB Taron Johnson (traded to LV), CB Kaiir Elam (to KC)

🎲 Draft Day Scenarios

✅ Dream Scenario

Cashius Howell adds edge depth. Bills reload around Josh Allen and make another playoff push under Brady.

❌ Nightmare Scenario

Post-McDermott transition is rocky. Allen can't carry a team losing key defensive pieces.
