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.
Defensive back Cam Lewis is joining the Bears on a two-year deal, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Lewis, who turns 29 next month, played his college ball at Buffalo and signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He played six seasons with the Bills.
He signed a one-year contract in 2023 and a two-year contract in 2024.
Now, he’s leaving Buffalo.
Lewis played 76 games with 14 starts with the Bills, totaling 166 tackles, an interception, three forced fumbles and 11 passes defensed.
He played 1,346 defensive snaps and 1,043 in his career with the team.
Connor McGovern said last week that he thought his time with the Bills was “over and done,” so it came as a surprise when news broke over the weekend that the center was signing a four-year deal to remain in Buffalo.
During an interview with Adam Schein of Mad Dog Sports Radio, McGovern explained how things took an unexpected turn ahead of the start of free agency. McGovern said that he always had interest in returning to the Bills, but that the team said he’d get a chance to hit the open market during exit interviews and that remained the plan until quarterback Josh Allen shared his preference for McGovern’s return.
“They were gonna let me test free agency,” McGovern said. “Then our good friend No. 17 kind of got involved and wanted to make sure that this got done.”
Keeping the best player on the team happy is usually a good idea and it seems the Bills were able to do that by securing McGovern’s commitment this week.
The Bills are keeping one of their tight ends around for the next couple of years.
According to multiple reports, Dawson Knox has agreed to a new three-year contract with Buffalo.
Knox, 29, had one year remaining on his deal with the Bills. But, as noted by Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the tight end was due to make $12 million in 2026, with a $1.5 million roster bonus due to him on Sunday.
Now Knox and Buffalo have worked through a new deal to keep him with the club.
A third-round pick in the 2019 draft, Knox has played his entire career with the Bills. A one-time Pro Bowler, Knox has registered 229 catches for 2,694 yards with 27 touchdowns in his seven seasons.
In 2026, Knox played all 17 games with 12 starts, tallying 36 receptions for 417 yards with four TDs. He was on the field for 58 percent of Buffalo’s offensive snaps.
