After losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round in the 2023 season, the Buffalo Bills lost a number of important players in the offseason. They include wide receiver Stefon Diggs, safety Jordan Poyer, cornerback Tre'Davious White, center Mitch Morse and wide receiver Gabe Davis. However, the team has recovered this season and is now in the playoffs after finishing with a 13-4 record and the No. 2 seed in the AFC.
The Bills must deal with players whose contracts are about to expire. They will begin contract extension negotiations with some of them, while others will be allowed to test the free agency market.
Additionally, as players could sign extensions at any time, the Bills don't need to wait until the next offseason to proceed with these agreements. Therefore, it may be crucial to keep track of which players will be free agents following the completion of the 2024 season.

Buffalo Bills' impending free agents (selected players)
#1 Wide receiver Amari Cooper (30 years old)
Cooper was traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Bills in the middle of the 2024 regular season. His contract will expire at the end of the 2024 season, and if the star wide receiver becomes a free agent, he will surely be an especially sought-after player.
#2 Cornerback Rasul Douglas (30 years old)
Rasul Douglas, who was dealt to the Bills in October 2023, signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Green Bay Packers in 2022, and is in the last year of that deal.
Aside from when he had to sit out due to an injury, Douglas has often been reliable in his first full season in Buffalo.
#3 Defensive tackle Austin Johnson (30 years old)
Austin Johnson committed to a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills for the 2024 NFL season last offseason. It's now left to be seen if he will be with the team beyond this season.
#4 Wide receiver Mack Hollins (31 years old)
Since joining the team in March 2024, Mack Hollins has been a popular figure among the fans. But his one-year deal will expire after this season.
#5 Safety Damar Hamlin (26 years old)
Although his time with the Bills may be coming to an end, Damar Hamlin has performed well when called upon this season. He may be able to find a respectable agreement at another team even if he doesn't receive an extension with the Bills.
Hamlin entered the league as a sixth-round pick in 2021 and is now in the last year of his rookie contract.
