Summary

Bills Sign 12

The Bills signed 12 undrafted free agents, including Jackson Acker and Gabriel Benyard, and added Travis Clayton via an international pathway exemption, raising the roster to 91 players.
Coaches said Bruno Fina, who signed after five seasons at Duke, could add depth at both tackle spots as a swing tackle.
Coaches also noted that running back Desmond Reid may compete for a practice-squad spot with veteran Frank Gore Jr.

History

Historical Context

After the Bills’ four-year Super Bowl run (1990-93) and the abrupt 7-9 collapse in 1994 under coach Marv Levy, the franchise has repeatedly rebuilt. In May 2026 the Buffalo Bills added six draft selections and 12 undrafted free agents, expanding to a 91-man roster, a move meant to revive the playoff-contending culture forged by Jim Kelly’s era.
