Plus, besides James Cook, which other Bills veterans are deserving of contract extensions?

Reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen directed a high-flying Buffalo Bills offense that set franchise records for points scored (509) and touchdowns (63) in posting a 13-4 record and claiming their fifth straight AFC East title during the 2024 NFL season.

The Bills appear poised to once again feature one of the league’s most potent offenses, led by Allen, wide receivers Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Josh Palmer, and Curtis Samuel, running back James Cook, tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, and the same five starting offensive linemen that paved the way for last year’s success.
