The Buffalo Bills didn't have too many roster weaknesses entering free agency, and general manager Brandon Beane immediately filled those problematic spots early.

One was at receiver as DJ Moore was signed, and the other was at EDGE, with Bradley Chubb signed.

Both come to Buffalo on big salaries, and if the pair doesn't play well in 2026, the finger will be pointed at Beane for the moves.

But they have been made with one clear thing in mind -- win a Super Bowl.

And for Sports Illustrated's Gilberto Manzano, given the additions of Moore and Chubb, he thinks the Bills are in a great spot, roster-wise, as he gave the franchise an A- grade for their free agency deals.

"Buffalo received criticism for the amount of guaranteed money it committed to Moore and Chubb," Manzano wrote. "But the Moore trade won’t be an issue if he’s making clutch plays for Allen throughout the season, which he did for Caleb Williams last season in Chicago. And the Chubb signing could look better if the Bills draft a top edge rusher to give themselves a strong rotation at the position.

"This was the best way for a Super Bowl contender with limited cap space to get better, and it appears this roster is in better shape than a year ago."

Are Bills genuine contenders after free agency?

You could make the case that with no new signings and Buffalo running it back with the same roster, it would be in contention.

We are looking at what the Bills could be in 2026, and if Moore and Chubb both hit and play to the level many expect, there's no reason to think this team won't again be in the middle of another deep playoff run.

Of course, a lot has to happen for that to eventuate, likely another 11+ win season in Joe Brady's first year as head coach, plus luck with injuries.

Still, as things stand, the Bills are one of the handful of teams that can say they are legitimate contenders.
