What happened: Buffalo earned a 33-30 road victory on Oct. 18 before entering its open date on the 2026 regular-season schedule.

Why it matters: The front office evaluates defensive reinforcements at safety, cornerback, and linebacker while managing a narrow pool of affordable veteran options.

By the numbers: Buffalo carries $4.5 million in current salary cap space, with potential contract restructures capable of clearing up to $11 million for 2026.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline arrives on Nov. 10.
