Bills Mafia votes key offensive player as Buffalo’s biggest FA loss
The Buffalo Bills have watched several unrestricted free agents sign with other teams in 2026. Which one stings the most?

There were some wondering why linebackers Matt Milano and Shaq Thompson, or cornerback Tre’Davious White failed to make the poll.
The simple reason is that those three players are among a group of players who remain unsigned. It’s not that the Bills have failed to re-sign them — it’s that to this point they remain available, and could even return to One Bills Drive. As such, Rumblers had a deeper list of players to consider.
At this stage, who do the majority of Bills fans see as the team’s biggest loss? You’re unlikely to be surprised learning that left guard David Edwards leads the way with 48% of the vote. As the team’s now-former starting left guard, the intelligent and proficient Edwards is certain to be missed by quarterback Josh Allen and the team.
Beyond Edwards, fullback Reggie Gilliam lands in second with 31% of the vote. His loss will impact Buffalo’s running game, and his special teams ability made him a mainstay in all kicking situations. Though teams often knew the Bills were running with Gilliam on the field, they struggled to stop it more times than not.
