The Bills are signing safety Geno Smith to a one-year deal, according to Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report.
Stone, who turns 27 in April, spent the past two seasons with the Bengals, starting all 34 possible games.
In 2025, Stone totaled 104 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions and four pass breakups.
The Ravens made him a seventh-round pick in 2020, and he spent his first four seasons in Baltimore. He has 312 tackles, 14 interceptions and 21 pass breakups in his career.
He joins a room that includes C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Cole Bishop, Jordan Hancock and Sam Franklin.
Wide receiver DJ Moore experienced something new with the Bears last season.
The 2026 season was Moore’s first winning one in the NFL as he helped the Bears win the NFC North and advance to the divisional round of the playoffs before losing to the Rams. With that success coming in Ben Johnson’s first year as the team’s head coach, it seemed like the start of something big in Chicago but Moore won’t be around for what comes next.
The wideout is now a member of the Bills after being traded to Buffalo earlier this week. At a press conference on Thursday, Moore said that he was happy with how things went last year but felt that his time with the Bears had reached a natural end point.
“I’m excited. I’m excited for the new challenge and a new journey. I think my time in Chicago, it ran its course and it ended on a great note with it being a great season in how it ended,” Moore said, via the Bills’ website. “Now it’s time to do that here.”
Moore will be working with quarterback Josh Allen in his new home and the hope in Buffalo is that his arrival helps boost a receiving corps that came in for a fair amount of criticism during the 2025 season. If that happens, the Bills could find a breakthrough of their own.
The Bills added edge rusher Bradley Chubb in free agency and they are set to make a veteran addition to the back end of their defense as well.
Agents Kevin Conner and Robert Brown announced that safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has agreed to a one-year deal in Buffalo. Gardner-Johnson can make up to $6 million under the terms of the deal.
Gardner-Johnson opened last season with the Texans, but was released after three games and signed with the Bears after a short stint on the Ravens’ practice squad. He had 51 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble in 10 regular season games for the team. He missed the playoff opener with a concussion and returned with four tackles in Chicago’s overtime loss to the Rams in the divisional round.
Gardner-Johnson has also played for the Eagles, Lions and Saints since entering the league as a 2019 fifth-round pick. He won a Super Bowl ring while with the Eagles and will try to help the Bills end their long quest for the first one in franchise history.
Free agent edge rusher Bradley Chubb has agreed to a three-year, $43.5 million deal with the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal includes $29 million in guarantees and $9 million in incentives.
Chubb, 29, ranks 36th on PFT’s list of top-100 free agents.
He played all 17 games last season after returning from a torn ACL that kept him out the entire 2024 season. Chubb totaled 47 tackles, 8.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 766 snaps. He played 72 percent of the team’s defensive snaps.
The Dolphins acquired Chubb in a trade with the Broncos during the 2022 season. They recently released him, making him an unrestricted free agent.
The Broncos made him a first-round pick in 2018.
In his career, he has appeared in 90 games, with 89 starts, and has totaled 303 tackles, 48 sacks, one interception, seven passes defensed and 15 forced fumbles.
With the new league year coming on Wednesday afternoon, the Bills have made a procedural move to open up some cap space.
Per Field Yates of ESPN, Buffalo has restructured quarterback Josh Allen’s contract to free up $12 million against the cap.
Allen was previously set to count for roughly $56.39 million of cap space in 2026.
The Bills and Allen agreed to a six-year, $330 million extension last March, putting him under contract through 2030.
The quarterback completed 69.3 percent of his throws for 3,668 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2025. He also rushed for 579 yards with 14 TDs.
