When Will Bills' Brandon Beane and Joe Brady Speak at 2026 NFL Combine?

Indianapolis—The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine officially opens this week, and the Buffalo Bills will take center stage on Tuesday afternoon when two of the franchise’s top decision-makers step to the podium inside the Indianapolis Convention Center. President of Football Operations Brandon Beane is scheduled to address reporters at 2 p.m., followed immediately by head coach Joe Brady at 2:15 p.m., giving the organization its first public opportunity to outline offseason priorities less than two weeks before the new league year begins.

Buffalo enters the combine with a clear to-do list. The front office is expected to target a top-tier wide receiver, continue reinforcing the defensive line, and further retool the defense under newly installed coordinator Jim Leonhard. Those schematic plans, however, hinge on the salary-cap gymnastics Beane must perform before March 11. The Bills are currently projected to be roughly $10 million over the cap, forcing the franchise to weigh roster cuts against restructures and extensions.

Potential cap casualties include tight end Dawson Knox and wide receiver Curtis Samuel, whose combined release ahead of June 1 would free more than $16 million. Safety Taylor Rapp and kicker Tyler Bass have also been mentioned as cut candidates—each carrying about $3 million in savings—but Beane has previously expressed confidence that Bass will remain Buffalo’s kicker in 2026.

With prospects conducting on-field workouts later in the week, Beane and Brady’s Tuesday media sessions will offer the first concrete glimpse into how Buffalo intends to attack both the draft board and the looming free-agency period.
