Bills Hopes Pinned On One Key Weapon Not Named 'Josh Allen'

The Buffalo Bills will enter the 2025 season with perhaps their best chance at Super Bowl glory in recent memory, and it won't all fall on Josh Allen's shoulders.

With several key defensive additions to bolster the pass rush, along with the signing of receiver Josh Palmer, the Bills have upgraded at multiple positions without losing any key players aside from Mack Hollins and Amari Cooper.

However, Buffalo's ability to finally break through its playoff ceiling might not be down to the new additions to the team, but rather the ones already on it.

For NFL.com's Jeffri Chadiha, the bounce-back ability of young tight end Dalton Kincaid is crucial to the Bills' proposed success in 2025.

"There were high expectations for Kincaid after he produced 73 receptions as a rookie in 2023," Chadiha writes. "But last year wasn’t nearly as much fun for him. There were plenty of questions about Kincaid’s slippage, but it seems that health played a role in that, as the tight end dealt with a collarbone injury and injuries to both knees.

"The Bills have been trying to get over the hump -- by that, we mean the Kansas City Chiefs -- in the AFC for the last five years. Kincaid becoming a dominant weapon is something this team definitely needs to see happen."
