The Buffalo Bills have commenced organized team activities (OTAs), focusing on drills and play installations, as fans speculate on the roster for the 2026 season. Player performances, like those of Jackson Acker and Mecole Hardman, will be closely monitored, but roster decisions will hinge more on when and with whom they play rather than how they perform. Preseason games often mislead fans into thinking performance alone dictates roster spots, as demonstrated by Zach Davidson’s unsuccessful bid for the TE3 role in 2024. Ultimately, less exciting factors will be more predictive of the final 53-man roster decisions.
