The Buffalo Bills are assessing quarterback Shane Buechele during offseason activities that began in June 2026. Buechele, who signed a reserve/futures deal worth $1.15 million earlier this year, faces competition in a clear depth chart led by starter Josh Allen and backup Kyle Allen. His performance in prior preseason games raised questions about his NFL-caliber capability, and he may not make the final roster unless injuries occur. Buechele participated in offseason workouts and remains a candidate for the practice squad ahead of the 2026 season.
