The Buffalo Bills once again had an top-tier group of cornerbacks, yet one besieged by injury almost from the start.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills hired Jim Leonhard as their defensive coordinator under new head coach Joe Brady on Saturday. The 43-year-old Leonhard spent the past two seasons with the Denver Broncos, including last year as the team’s assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator.

Bass sustained a season-ending injury which forced the Bills to bring in a seasoned veteran for the 2025 campaign.

After praising Sean McDermott in his introductory press conference, Joe Brady made it clear which former boss had the biggest impact on him. Sean Payton. Payton gave Brady his first NFL job as an offensive assistant for the New Orleans Saints in 2017.

Head coach Sean McDermott was fired Monday after nine seasons on the job, two sources close to the decision told The Buffalo News. The decision to move on from McDermott was first reported by NFL Network.

The Bills have many players set to become available and there are a few they must make a priority to re-sign.

The Bills have hired former Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael as their next OC after Joe Brady was promoted to head coach.

The Buffalo Bills introduced Joe Brady as their next head coach on Thursday.

Orgeron weighed in on his former assistant earning the Bills head coaching gig, significant change in Buffalo.
