The Buffalo Bills are entering a new chapter with quarterback Josh Allen at the helm, as the team starts its ninth season with him as the starter and a new head coach guiding the squad. After parting ways with the previous coaching regime in the offseason, Buffalo is implementing several notable changes on both offense and defense. Yet one constant remains: Allen will continue to serve as team captain, anchoring leadership and on-field direction.
In a recent social media reveal, the Bills announced their captains for the 2026 season. Josh Allen was named a captain once again, reinforcing his role as a central leader. On offense, tight end Dawson Knox joined him as a captain. On defense, linebacker Terrel Bernard and edge rusher Bradley Chubb were selected to wear the captain’s designation. The special teams unit also named two captains: long snapper Reid Ferguson and cornerback Sam Franklin Jr.
This marks a period of transition for Buffalo, with a new head coach at the helm and a fresh coaching staff tasked with maximizing the team’s potential. Despite these changes, the captain list underscores a continued commitment to strong leadership from Allen and his teammates as they push to compete at a high level this season. As the Bills prepare for the opener and beyond, fans can expect Allen to play a pivotal role both on and off the field, guiding the team through the evolving dynamics of a new era.
