The Buffalo Bills’ largest signing of free agency thus far (and likely the largest signing of he entire offseason) by pure salary value was wide receiver Curtis Samuel, previously of the Washington Commanders. Samuel signed a three-year, $24 million contract with Buffalo worth up to a maximum of $30 million. He was drafted by the Carolina Panthers when Bills general manager Brandon Beane was the assistant GM in Carolina and the speedy wide receiver played under current Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady when Brady was the OC in Carolina under Matt Rhule.
The familiarity that the current Buffalo organization has with Samuel, and he with them, might give the Bills a different direction early in the 2024 NFL Draft than what has been assumed (or hoped) by many fans of the team.
