The Buffalo Bills have a pretty substantial 2026 free-agent class brewing and Spotrac’s estimated market values paint a clear picture: if president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane wants to keep any of the key pieces, the cap is going to demand some hard choices.
Using _Spotrac_’s projected market values, here’s a quick snapshot of what Buffalo’s free agents could be commanding in 2026:
**Joey Bosa, EDGE**
Projected Market Value: $13.7 Million
**David Edwards, Left Guard**
Projected Market Value: $19.9 Million
**Larry Ogunjobi, Defensive Tackle**
Projected Market Value: $5 Million
**A.J. Epenesa, EDGE**
Projected Market Value: $6.4 Million
**Matt Milano, Linebacker**
Projected Market Value: $4.6 Million
**Mitchell Trubisky, Quarterback**
Projected Market Value: $4.4 Million
**Tre’Davious White, Cornerback**
Projected Market Value: $1.2 Million
**DaQuan Jones, Defensive Tackle**
Projected Market Value: $1.7 Million
**Damar Hamlin, Safety**
Projected Market Value: $1.7 Million
**Cam Lewis, Cornerback**
Projected Market Value: $1.5 Million
**Jordan Phillips, Defensive Tackle**
Projected Market Value: $1.05 Million
**Matt Prater, Kicker**
Projected Market Value: $1.5 Million
**Jordan Poyer, Safety**
Projected Market Value: $1.3 Million
**Brandin Cooks, Wide Receiver**
Projected Market Value: $3.0 Million
**Shaq Thompson, Linebacker**
Projected Market Value: $2.4 Million
**Gabe Davis, Wide Receiver**
Projected Market Value: $1.6 Million
**Darnell Savage Jr., Safety**
Projected Market Value: $2.6 Million
**Ryan Van Demark, Offensive Line**
Projected Market Value: TBD
**Mitch Wishnowsky, Punter**
Projected Market Value: TBD
**Reggie Gilliam, Fullback**
Projected Market Value: TBD
In the secondary, the projected values for players like Damar Hamlin, Jordan Poyer, and Tre’Davious White suggest Buffalo may have opportunities to retain experience without breaking the bank, but those decisions come with risk; with age and/or injury history. Meanwhile, defensive back depth pieces like Cam Lewis are the type of contracts that can quietly add up when you’re filling out the bottom half of the roster.
Ultimately, Buffalo’s offseason may come down to a familiar formula: pick one or two priority re-signings, look for cheaper replacements elsewhere, and hope the draft can supply at least one immediate contributor in each of the 3 phases. The projected market values make it clear, though, that keeping the team together “as is” is not an option, and Buffalo will have to let the majority of their free agents walk next week.
