Allen and Bernard are the longest-tenured captains in the group, having spent the past eight and three seasons as captains, respectively. Ferguson has previously been a team captain four times in his career in Buffalo and this is the first time since 2021.
Knox is entering the seventh season in Buffalo but his first time as a team captain. Another new captain is Franklin, who is in his second year with the Bills after signing a contract extension in Buffalo this offseason after joining the Bills in 2025.
Even newer than that, Chubb only just signed in Buffalo as a free agent this past spring. Still, he was voted into the role by the Bills locker room.
Chubb has previously been a team captain in the NFL, wearing the "C" as recently as last year with the Miami Dolphins .
