The Buffalo Bills are finally on the board in NFL free agency, as the franchise signed pass rusher Bradley Chubb.

Granted, some aren't too thrilled with the move and the financial outlay due to Chubb's 2025 season; however, there is still juice in the tank.
It is just up to Buffalo to squeeze all it can out of it.
And for PFF, the website has given the Chubb deal an "average" grading.
"This is a potentially risky move that also carries huge upside," PFF wrote. "Chubb earned an 88.8 PFF overall grade and ranked in the top 15 at the position in PFF overall grade and PFF Wins Above Replacement in 2023, before missing all of 2024 with an Achilles injury. He was not the same player in 2025. If the Bills are getting something close to the 2023 version, this is a steal. If it's the 2025 version, it's a big overpay."

Which Chubb will Bills get?
That is the big question.
In 2023, he posted 11 sacks, but he then missed the entire 2024 season with injury, so naturally, 2025 was going to be tough sledding as he got his feet underneath himself again.
Still, he posted 8.5 sacks in Miami, so that is nothing to sneeze at as far as production is concerned.
The Bills will be hoping they can get the most out of Chubb, as they desperately need more juice from the outside, and Chubb, if fully healthy, can provide that.
He did play all 17 games last season, which is a good sign. Now, a full year removed from his injury, maybe he comes back with a bang in 2026.
