— Buffalo Bills PR (@BuffaloBillsPR) July 23, 2019Asiata, selected in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Utah, played one game for the Dolphins in his rookie year. He was waived prior to the 2018 regular season, but then signed to the team's practice squad and was promoted to the active roster in early November, playing one game.
The 6' 3", 345-pound guard was waived/injured by the Dolphins and placed on injured reserve in May, then ultimately released last month.
According to NY Upstate, Asiata's deal is for the veteran minimum.
Isaac Asiata's contract has not been officially announced by the #Bills, but the guard received a vet minimum deal, per source. #BillsMafia
— Ryan Talbot (@RyanTalbotBills) July 23, 2019As for Wallace, he was originally signed by the Bills after a strong outing at rookie minicamp as a tryout out of West Alabama. However, he was released by the Bills back on May 22.
The undrafted free agent registered 60 tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble and a half sack in his 2018 season at West Alabama.
Scott played three games for the Bills last season after being promoted from the team's practice squad. He had also been on the Cleveland Browns' practice squad and active roster in 2018.
Sirles is eligible to return to the team after Week 8 of the regular season, if they choose to use one of their two IR-Designated to Return spots on him.
