The Buffalo Bills enter the 2026 season with Bradley Chubb holding the tenth spot on the team's list of most important roster contributors. The 30-year-old outside linebacker joined the franchise this offseason on a three-year, $43.5 million contract following his tenure with the Miami Dolphins. After missing the entire 2024 season due to a torn ACL, Chubb played 17 games in 2025, recording 8.5 sacks and 47 tackles. He is now slated to start opposite Greg Rousseau in the defense led by new coordinator Jim Leonhard. The team is monitoring whether the veteran can regain the form he displayed in 2023 when he recorded 11 sacks and led the NFL in forced fumbles. His performance remains a focal point for a young defensive unit adapting to a new 3-4 scheme.
