when the Bills lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Wild Card game by a score of 10–3. 2018 During the offseason, the Bills overhauled their roster yet again, trading away Tyrod Taylor and tackle Cordy Glenn. In addition, longtime center Eric Wood announced his retirement due to health issues, and guard Richie Incognito began suffering mental breakdowns and was released from his contract at his request. They then brought in former Bengals backup A. J. McCarron and drafted Josh Allen to compete for the starting quarterback position.

Williams caught a pass from Allen in his final game with the Bills, a 42–17 victory over the Dolphins. 2019 The Bills freed up cap space after paying off the dead money for players from the Whaley era they had cut or traded. Prior to the season, numerous offensive players, such as receivers John Brown, Cole Beasley, and
