Will Bills edge rusher Bradley Chubb be on hot seat next season?

Bradley Chubb will have a lot to prove next season with the Bills, with a potential bounce back year in the cards for the star edge rusher.

Next season, the Buffalo Bills will be relying heavily on linebacker Bradley Chubb to bolster their defensive front and contribute to their high-octane offense. The team, led by new head coach Joe Brady, is looking to improve their sack count from the sixth-lowest in the NFL during the 2025 season. Chubb, who recently signed a three-year, $43.5 million deal, will be the face of the franchise's pass-rushing unit as it enters the twilight of his career.

Chubb, who missed the entire 2024 season, returned in 2025 with solid statistics, recording 8.5 sacks and a 13% pressure rate. However, at 30 years old, the question remains whether Chubb can return to his pre-ACL injury form from 2023. With potential star caliber players Josh Allen, James Cook, and DJ Moore already on the roster, the Bills are in need of a veteran pass-rushing talent to enhance their defensive line.

As the organization prepares for a new era, Chubb's performance will be scrutinized to determine if he can meet the expectations placed upon him.
