The Buffalo Bills wrapped up their 2025 minicamp last week. The team now heads into the quiet days of the offseason.

Training camp will be here before we know it, but before we get there, the Bills gave us some things to note from minicamp.

Here are five takeaways from the Bills’ 2025 minicamp sessions:

Cook shows

Pro Bowl running back James Cook was in the building for minicamp.

Yes, it’s mandatory, but that does not mean a player in Cook’s situation always shows up. He wants a new contract and it has not come yet… but Cook still showed good faith by practicing at minicamp.

“I like my money, you know,” Cook said with a smile while explaining why he was in attendance.

Others sit out

While Cook did workout, plenty of other players did not because of injury or other reasons.

The list of players who only worked out individually instead of with the rest of the team or not at all include:

S Cole Bishop

OL Connor McGovern

DB Cam Lewis

DE Joey Bosa

LB Baylon Spector

RB Ty Johnson

WR Laviska Shenault

WR KJ Hamler

OL Alec Anderson

First-round rookie injured

Separate from those above, first-round rookie cornerback Max Hairston did practice with his new team during training camp. However, general manager Brandon Beane confirmed that Hairston sustained a hamstring injury on the third and final minicamp practice but he is expected to be OK by training camp in July

Wide receivers step up

While there is still no clear-cut No. 1 playmaker for quarterback Josh Allen in the Bills offense, a few players did flash during minicamp.

New addition Elijah Moore was given credit for his route running by WKBW-TV, although, Khalil Shakir was still namely the likely top option for Allen still. In addition, tight end Dalton Kincaid was praised by many onlookers including WIVB-TV. Meanwhile, another new name in Josh Palmer was given early signs of approval as well.

A lot of praise for local Joe Andreessen

It remains to be seen exactly what his role will be in 2025, however, local Buffalo product Joe Andreessen got rave reviews from just about everyone at the workouts including The Athletic.

The outlet said Andreessen showed “definitive signs of progress,” specifically in pass covered. Even so, it is admittedly early on in the offseason and what happens ahead of next season is still a mystery.
