The Buffalo Bills are going to have a new look at certain spots in 2026.
That was made more obvious by the four players they released on Friday.
The news reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter has the Bills cutting ties with these four guys:
Taron Johnson
Taylor Rapp
Dane Jackson
Curtis Samuel
Johnson is the biggest name on the list, having been an All-Pro as a nickelback.

Johnson had seasons with 98, 94 and 90 tackles among his big campaigns in growing into a star.
In 2025, he played 13 games and had 57 tackles with four passes defensed and no interceptions, and his fall off plus salary made him expendable.
Rapp was a starter at safety this season but has also been cut loose as Buffalo tries to manage the salary cap.
Jackson and Samuel were two depth pieces, and Samuel in particular was making way too much money for the role he had in 2025 and would've had in 2026.
There's one piece of good news for Buffalo fans out of this, and that involves Dawson Knox.
Knox had been floated as a possible salary cap casualty for the Bills, too, but he wasn't part of this batch of cuts.
That doesn't guarantee that Knox is staying, but it increases the odds of him sticking around.
Still, thinks are going to be different, at least in Buffalo's secondary.
