It’s the newly crowned MVP Josh Allen who has got the keys. And the Bills are not blind… They know if they want to give Allen a chance, a shot at the ring, then they have got to add more firepower—at both sides of the ball. First, it was a deep-threat target in Joshua Palmer. Then a pass rush? Well, that needed a serious upgrade after Patrick Mahomes danced around the pocket like he had all the time in the world in the AFC Championship Game.

So, Joey Bosa entered with the big boulder energy. The five-time Pro Bowler didn’t just bring sacks and quarterback pressures to Buffalo—he brought expectations. And apparently, a brand-new nickname, courtesy of his biggest fan.

Cheryl Bosa is never shy about supporting her sons. She wanted Joey in San Francisco alongside his brother, Nick. She even campaigned for it on social media, resharing a fan post pushing for a Bosa family reunion. But Joey had other plans. He took his talents to Buffalo and Cheryl. She didn’t pout—she pivoted.

Now, she has embraced her son’s new home, and in true football-mama fashion, Cheryl has a new nickname for Joey. One that Bills Mafia can seriously rally behind: Buffalo Bosa!

Meanwhile, Joey’s first press conference as a Bill felt like a declaration of intent. “Feels like my Ohio State days,” he said, tapping into the energy of a football-obsessed town that reminds him of his championship-winning college years. He knows he’s not a 22-year-old phenom anymore—he’s a 29-year-old veteran chasing a ring. “I’m getting old, and I’m ready to win,” he admitted. That’s not just talk. He wants to be the guy who left behind nearly a decade with the Chargers to bet on himself and Buffalo’s Super Bowl window.

Sure, injuries have slowed him down—he hasn’t played a full season since 2021. But even at “70 percent, 60 percent” last season, as he put it, he still made a Pro Bowl. If he stays on the field, Buffalo’s pass rush goes from decent to dangerous.

So, that’s why Josh Allen wasted no time welcoming Bosa to the squad. According to the new Bills edge rusher, Allen sent him a text spelling out exactly what’s at stake: This is the last year in this stadium. If we do what we set out to do, we can be immortalized in Buffalo. Bosa didn’t hesitate. “That’s what it’s all about,” he said. Winning. Legacy. Championships. That’s why he’s here. And that’s why the Bills have earned the title of the most improved roster.

Josh Allen and Sean McDermott have got a most improved roster to cook with

The Bills’ front office went to work this offseason. They weren’t playing checkers—they were playing chess. ESPN just crowned Buffalo the NFL’s most improved roster after a free-agency haul that saw major reinforcements arrive. Joey Bosa, Josh Palmer, and a handful of key re-signings put the Bills ahead of everyone, including the Rams and Vikings.

But let’s be real—the upgrades weren’t just about keeping up with the rest of the league. This was about finally getting past one team. More so, finally giving a real fighting chance to Josh Allen.

Kansas City has been Buffalo’s final boss for four years straight. Every season, the Bills stack wins, make a noise in the playoffs, and then—boom. Mahomes happens. That AFC Championship loss? Just another reminder that Buffalo was close, but not there yet. So what did Brandon Beane do? He built a roster that can finally take down the Chiefs. Or he thinks so. A pass rush that can make Mahomes uncomfortable. A receiving corps that gives Josh Allen every tool he needs. Hence, a squad that isn’t just good but complete.

That’s why Buffalo Bosa is here. That’s why Greg Rousseau and Terrel Bernard got paid. Plus, that’s why the Bills held onto Khalil Shakir instead of letting him test the market. Buffalo didn’t just add talent—they made sure their core stayed intact. “The Bills were right to retain the players who helped get them to the AFC Championship Game,” ESPN’s breakdown said. And they’re right. You don’t get a team that’s knocking on the door—you add the final pieces to kick it open.

Of course, the pressure is at an all-time high, especially for Allen. CBS Sports just ranked him as the quarterback facing the most pressure to deliver a Super Bowl. Winning MVP was nice, but this league only remembers rings. So, the Bills have to do it. It’s no longer about if they’d do it or not. But more so, there’s no two ways about it. Allen knows it. That’s why he’s texting new teammates about making history.

But for now, this team looks different. The roster is stacked. The defense has teeth. The offense has firepower. So, to put it simply: The bills aren’t just running it back—they’re running it better. Now, the only thing it needs is the cherry on top of an SB ring.
