With the ever-changing look of the Buffalo Bills in 2026, there will be many surprising faces who will not be on the roster come next season. With a new head coach followed by new coordinators leading the team, it will be their job to evaluate who stays and who goes.
As the Bills have just hired a new defensive backs coach, Jay Valai, to motivate the cornerbacks, some changes will be needed in that room as they shift from the nickel 4-3 to a blitz-heavy 3-4 with man coverage. Some players aren't cut out for this scheme and may not be back next season.
