‘Powell entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Florida in 2018, signed by the Detroit Lions. That season, he appeared in six games, catching 11 passes for 129 yards and returned two punts and two kickoffs.’

Bills sign running back Matt Breida to one-year deal
‘The 26-year-old is one of the fastest running backs in the NFL. At his college pro day in 2017, Breida ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash and topped out at 22.3 miles-per-hour on a touchdown run in 2019, according to NFL’s Next Gen Stats.’
Bills sign defensive end Efe Obada
‘The 6-foot-6, 265-pound Obada finished second in sacks on the Panthers last season with 5.5. That total is more than any player had on the Bills defense last year.’
Isaiah McKenzie turned down 8 teams to re-sign with Bills
‘”Money is nice … But if we got paid in candy, I’d still stay in Buffalo,” McKenzie added.’
Bills re-sign wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie to one-year deal
‘Last season, McKenzie was used on several jet sweeps (which were actually counted as receptions because they were tossed in front of Josh Allen), and a reliable target in the passing game overall, finishing with 30 catches for 282 yards and five touchdowns. Those numbers accounted for the best season of his career in each category.’
Bills sign tight end Jacob Hollister
‘Trying to find playing time in a crowded Seahawks tight end room with Greg Olsen and Will Dissly, Hollister had 66 receptions for 558 yards and six touchdowns in 27 games. Hollister’s production came playing just 35.1% of offensive snaps in 2020 and 46.3% of offensive snaps in 2019.’
Bills sign quarterback Mitchell Trubisky to one-year deal
‘Despite leading the Bears to a 29-21 overall record in his four seasons in Chicago, as well as two playoff appearances, Trubisky never lived up to the expectations of his draft selection, especially since others like Patrick Mahomes (10th overall – Kansas City Chiefs) and Deshaun Watson (12th overall – Houston Texans) were taken after him.’
Bills re-sign Taiwan Jones to one-year deal
‘Jones had become an unrestricted free agent after spending last year with the team, and now will extend his second stint in Buffalo.’
Bills re-sign cornerback Levi Wallace
‘Wallace has been the object of a lot of criticism over the last couple of years for giving up too many plays, but when you play opposite Tre’Davious White, you’re going to be targeted a lot and that can happen. He’s certainly had his inconsistencies, but he’s also made some plays, and has given the team a very good value over his first three years since being signed as an undrafted free agent in 2018.’
NFL new league year begins, Bills tender Boettger
‘For the Buffalo Bills, thirteen players who were on the roster at the end of the 2020 season became unrestricted free agents and are now eligible to sign with other clubs. That includes two players who were restricted free agents but not given minimum qualifying offers, cornerback Levi Wallace, and punter Corey Bojorquez.’
Opinion: After Emmanuel Sanders signing, Bills are one step closer to building a super team
‘And the free agent party should only just be getting started. Blessed with a franchise quarterback still on his rookie deal, otherwise known as the NFL’s holy grail, the Bills are in prime position to keep adding.’
Bills sign punter Matt Haack
‘The signing of Haack may mean the Bills are prepared to move on from Corey Bojorquez, who is a Restricted Free Agent. To retain Bojorquez’s rights, the Bills would have to give him a minimum qualifying offer of $2.13 million, which would make him one of the top-10 paid punters in the NFL by cash, and in the top half of the league in terms of salary cap hits in 2021.’
Reports: Bills sign Emmanuel Sanders, trade Lee Smith
‘NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Bills have agreed to sign Sanders, who has yet to officially be released by the New Orleans Saints, but will be and is flying to Buffalo for a physical.’
Bills sign Tyler Matakevich to one-year extension
‘Matakevich was signed as a free agent from the Pittsburgh Steelers last offseason almost exclusively for special teams. He actually led the entire NFL in total special teams tackles the previous four years. In Buffalo in 2020, he led the Bills with 10 total special teams tackles, and was far and away their snap count leader on special teams, on the field for over 71% of the plays. No other Bills player even topped 58%, which shows how valuable the Bills believe he is.’
Bills re-sign guard Jon Feliciano
‘With the re-signing of Feliciano, Bills general manager Brandon Beane has managed to keep the team’s consensus top-three pending unrestricted free agents, inking linebacker Matt Milano on Thursday and right tackle Daryl Williams on Friday.’
