Bills punter Mitch Wishnowsky faces rookie competition for 2026 spot

Summary

Mitch Wishnowsky aims to retain his role as the Bills' punter for the 2026 season amid competition from rookie Tommy Doman Jr. After joining the team mid-season in 2025, Wishnowsky had a successful year, averaging 45.3 yards per punt and showing reliability. His performance led to a one-year contract extension for 2026, worth $1.475 million, but the Bills also drafted Doman, creating a competitive environment for the position. Both punters are now vying for the job as preparations for the season continue.
