Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR 550) - The Buffalo Bills have announced the signing of 14 players to Reserve/Future contracts for the upcoming 2024 season.
11 of the signings were announced on Monday, including:
- WR - Andy Isabella
- WR - Tyrell Shavers
- WR - Bryan Thompson
- WR - K.J. Hamler
- TE - Tre' McKitty
- OL - Richard Gouraige
- OL - Kevin Jarvis
- DE - Kameron Cline
- CB - Kyron Brown
- CB - Ja'Marcus Ingram
- S - Kendall Williamson
Nine of the 11 players signed on Monday had already been on the practice squad at the time the 2023 season came to an end on Sunday with Buffalo's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round.
Perhaps the most notable addition to the roster heading into the 2024 season is Hamler, who was a former second-round pick of the Denver Broncos in the 2020 NFL Draft.
In parts of three seasons spent with the Broncos from 2020-22, Hamler caught a total of 42 passes on 80 targets for 620 yards and three touchdowns.
The 24-year-old out of Penn State University spent the entire 2023 season on the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad.
As for the other new addition, Williamson joins the Bills after spending all of his rookie 2023 season on the Bears' practice squad after Chicago spent a seventh-round pick on the safety out of Stanford University.
The Bills then announced on Tuesday an additional trio of signings to Reserve/Future contracts, including quarterback Shane Buechele, defensive tackle Eli Ankou and running back Darrynton Evans.
While Ankou and Beuchele were part of the practice squad to close out the 2023 season, Evans returns to the Bills after spending training camp and the preseason with the team earlier this year. After his release as part of final roster cuts, Evans ended up bouncing between the Dolphins and Bears through the rest of the season.
All 14 players players will eventually count towards the 90 players allowed on the roster heading into training camp in July.
The players on the Bills' 16-man practice squad who did not re-sign with the team to a Reserve/Future contract includes defensive tackle Andrew Brown, offensive linemen Germain Ifedi and Greg Mancz, linebacker A.J. Klein and cornerback Josh Norman.
