Josh Allen's Make-or-Break Season | NFL News

0:00It's September 6th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. Alright, let's talk about the Buffalo Bills. They're heading into this season with Joe Brady calling the shots, which is a change from Sean McDermott. Now, the Bills haven't been a bad team, not by a long shot, but that ultimate prize the Super Bowl has remained just out of reach. ESPN's Aaron Schatz put out a piece looking at teams with a real shot at the Super Bowl this year, and then maybe a tougher road ahead. He points out that some teams are building for the future, while others are going all in right now. The Bills fall into that latter category, and it's partly because their cap space in 2027 is projected to be around 30th in the league, making it tough to rebuild. The good news for Buffalo is that they won't have a ton of their own guys to resign after the 2026 season. It looks like no player who played significant snaps last year is set to become a free agent after this upcoming season.

1:01That's a silver lining in the financial picture. However, the big story is Josh Allen. He's 30 years old, and entering his ninth season, the pressure is on him to finally lead this team to a championship. This really feels like a make or break year for the Bills and their star quarterback. So, while the team might not have a ton of their own free agents to worry about, the clock is ticking on their championship window with Allen at the helm. It's a critical season for Buffalo to try and get it done.
