The Buffalo Bills provided Josh Allen and their inconsistent passing attack yet another veteran option by signing free agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks

The NFL announced Wednesday that Allen was one of 32 nominees across the league to be nominated for the award after winning it for the first time following his 2024 MVP campaign. Ironically, as Allen and the Bills prepare to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, he is vying for the award named after the Steelers' legendary founder.

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills couldn't get it done in Week 12, falling to 7-4 on the 2025 NFL season after a 23-19 loss to the C.J. Stroud-less Houston Texans. Now, the Bills will look to get back on track in Week 13, where they will hit the road to face Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Josh Allen was upbeat while dismissing questions about being sore despite a wearing a pad on his right throwing arm.

With Samuel being sent to the IR, Buffalo signed Gabe Davis to the 53-man roster. Davis, 26, has been elevated from the practice squad for the past two games for the Bills.

The only real hurdle to clear before the veteran wide receiver can realistically see game action is his acclimation to the offense. According to Allen, however, Cooks has hit the ground running.

The Pro Football Reference QB Hall of Fame Monitor already ranks Allen one spot ahead of Jim Kelly, and Allen has the most rushing touchdowns in the history of an organization that handed off to league MVPs Cookie Gilchrist, O.J. Simpson and Thurman Thomas.

The Buffalo Bills need help at wide receiver. Hence, they went and signed one of the best free agents available to provide quarterback Josh Allen with a new weapon. Now, the team’s newest player opened up about his thought process before joining the franchise.
