When the Bills fired Sean McDermott after a 12-5 season and a divisional round playoff exit via a 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos, it signaled a sense of urgency.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen, a former NFL MVP, will turn 30 before the 2026 season and the promotion of offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach shows that they’re prioritizing the offensive side of the ball, as McDermott’s expertise was on defense. Buffalo ranked No. 13 in passing offense last season.
Receivers didn’t create enough separation and they didn’t have a legitimate red zone threat at the position. That changed in March when they traded a second-round pick to the Chicago Bears for receiver DJ Moore and a fifth-round pick.
