The initial splash in free agency is over in the NFL with more still to come. The Buffalo Bills were among the movers and shakers but one of their moves stood out in a bad way.
Pro Football Focus named their “least favorite” move made by every NFL team during the opening wave of free agency. For the Bills, it was signing pass rusher Bradley Chubb.
Chubb had 8.5 sacks in Miami last season. He signed a three-year deal in Buffalo.
The Bills will hope he can lead the line on the edge of their defensive front across from Greg Rousseau in 2026. PFF is not convinced.
PFF’s breakdown on the Bills and Chubb can be found below:
Least Favorite Move: EDGE Bradley Chubb
Despite being an early draft pick in 2018, Chubb has been just average in the NFL — outside of one season with the Dolphins — especially as a pass rusher. He has topped a 15% pass-rush win rate just once in his career (2024). Chubb’s 11.5% pass-rush win rate in 2025 ranked just 61st among 129 qualifying edge defenders. His contract with the Bills — a three-year, $43.5 million deal — suggests the team thinks he can get back to his 2024 form and become a game-changer on the edge
