Five Potential Bills Diamonds In The Rough

Five Potential Bills Diamonds In The Rough

Author: Blue Wire February 25, 2026 Duration: 1:05:15

On today's Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to discuss among other topics five Buffalo Bills players who could become diamonds in the rough for the organization.

For various reasons Dorian Williams, Jordan Hancock, Alec Anderson, Seth Van Pran Granger and Jackson Hawes could all have an opportunity to go from supporting type players to contributing far more than they did this past season. The guys discuss what the situation looks like for each player and why this group could be primed to take a significant step in their careers during the 2026 season.

From there they get into discussing what's been discussed the most the past few offseasons and surely headed that way again---wide receiver. Patrick runs down eight potential wide receiver fits for the Bills that could come via free agency or trade and tasks Matt with ranking his interest on each from a scale of 1-10 while factoring in fit, salary and potential trade comp. Names on the list they go through include Mike Evans, Rashid Shaheed, Jauan Jennings, DJ Moore, AJ Brown, Brian Thomas Jr, Jaylen Waddle and Michael Pittman Jr.

That plus it's NFL Combine week, free agency will be here before you know it and much more.

There's a particular kind of passion that comes from following Buffalo sports, a mix of unwavering hope and hardened realism that Talking Buffalo captures perfectly. Hosted by Buffalo-born Patrick Moran, this Blue Wire podcast dives deep into the heart of the city's teams, with a primary focus on the emotional rollercoasters provided by the Bills and Sabres. Patrick doesn't just report on games; he lives them, offering a perspective that can swing from critical skepticism to full-blown optimism in a single conversation. That authentic, sometimes self-deprecating fan voice is exactly what drives each episode. The show regularly features interviews with guests from across the sports world, media, and even pop culture, providing unique angles and insider insights you won't find elsewhere. It’s this blend of local passion, candid analysis, and diverse conversations that gives the podcast its character.
